Summertime… and the living ain’t so easy Tuesday, Jun 30 2009

It’s been one hellacious summer; already.

My library had to be packed up to move to the new school site and I had to prepare my library for the new school.  (oodles of fun, I HIGHLY recommend it)

It’s hot as Hades out there, can’t even stand to walk outside, much less partake in any family events.  I only have one kiddo left in summer camp.  And, she’s raring to go to Kindergarten so she’s not really digging the whole summer camp scene. The eighth grader and fourth grader are itching to get at my last nerve, but I have locked it away and they can’t have it.

GNOWP has gone on without me, sadly.  I couldn’t participate this year, much to my dismay.  At least I still got to keep in touch with them via Twitter and facebook.

I’m gearing up for the new school opening this August.  I’ll likely be back to work on July 20th to get the ball rolling.  Luckily, my two youngest, have tested into the academic magnet school where I am, so they’ll be with me and get a great enriching education.  BUT, it means all new uniforms, new friends, new everything.  I have a feeling they’ll be OK.

As for me… I’ve been doing what else.. reading and watching TV.  I rewarded myself with a Kindle2 for lots of overtime work and I’m thoroughly addicted.  Keeping up with my favorite authors on Twitter has become a new fave pastime.  Check some of them out at my twitter page http://twitter.com/noladawn

I promise (ok, I’ll make an attempt) to keep my blog updated more often.  Life tends to get away with you when you work too many hours and have three active kids.

Missed y’all!

Mimi’s Blog Blast for Peace Meme Tuesday, May 27 2008

Mimi began this wonderful movement almost two years ago. It has become a phenomenon, awing me from the onset. Here are Mimi’s thoughts on BlogBlast for Peace:
Peace Globes did not begin as a meme. But it began to behave like a meme. Blog to blog to blog. Like a fog. We didn’t use the word “tag” ….but that’s what we did when we invited others in our blogrolls to participate. The fact that you did so without the obligatory tag is proof that the concept is powerful.

It’s a fact that the fastest and most effective way to spiral an idea out of control in the blogosphere is via a meme. I should know! The 700+ bloggers who participated in past launches (and that truly is the tip of The-Iceberg-I-Never-Found) knows what it means to them. It’s about unity. We have that in spades. It’s about activism, awareness, crossing political lines, making a statement and sharing ideas. We’ve done that. We have the vision as a core group of bloggers for peace; but we do not – yet – have the power in numbers behind the message.

**Begin Copy**

BlogBlast For Peace Meme ~ Join The Revolution

Here are the rules and the story. Copy this into a post, ADD YOUR NAME to the bottom of the tag list and tag as many people as you’d like.

The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog, Mimi Writes. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe – Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) – branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world – from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn.

It was simple. And powerful.

In less than two weeks bloggers from all
across the globe will blog for peace.
We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.
Won’t you join us?

I’m not dead… Thursday, Apr 17 2008

Sorry I haven’t been around.  School is really hectic this time of year.  Add to that the three kids, four cats, two dogs, National Poetry Month :D, gearing up for the Writing Project this summer, and- oh I don’t know- trying to sleep… and blogging has taken a bit of a back seat.  Plus, there’s that little addiction I have to PackRat on facebook LOL

Miss you all, I’ll be back in June in full force!

Could you hear me screaming???? Friday, Dec 28 2007

ARGH!!! I was without internet for TWO FREAKING WEEKS! To top it off… the week before school let out, I couldn’t do most of the things I would like to do besides checking my email at school because we have this really great filtering program.  Yay for the kids, boo hiss for me.  Yes, I’m alive to tell about it, but not much better for it. I was crippled. I didn’t know how to check the weather, for a phone number, my bank balance… and I was having serious blog/facebook/myspace withdrawals! Those are the setbacks of having a small town cable company, they couldn’t get out to us until the day AFTER Christmas. And then the weather was bad, so it got pushed back by two days. Now I’m ready to just take a nap.

Merry Christmas to all my blogging buddies, sorry I missed you all.

I’m apparently NUTTY! Sunday, Dec 9 2007

So, the great Steven honored me with this lovely award!

I guess I should thank my parents, after all they are the reason I am who I am… and then there’s those pesky kids… and the 40 kids I teach…. and this city that is still wallowing.  HEY!  I have valid reasons, yay!  Thanks Steven, muah!

If you’re on my Places to Visit blogroll, then you’re probably nutty like me (or I wouldn’t like you so much!) so consider yourself tagged!

The Nonesense Meme: Part Deux Sunday, Nov 11 2007

Stine over at Mother’s Got A Dot Com started a cool meme some time back and just posted an updated version. She started this meme on Mother’s Home and found the meme on Grow Rich along with Me. She has altered the rules a bit and has launched this fun meme again. I just have to participate. Here’s how:

Copy and paste the rules below on your blog.

Write a sentence or short paragraph, using the titles of the blogs you’re tagging or any word(s) associated with them as keywords for the links you include as part of the sentence. Remember # 4 below!

Rules:

1. Copy and paste the story below, and the rules, on your blog. (In “Compose” for Blogger, and in “Visual” for WordPress – saves you a lot of work with linking!)
2. Find out who you’re going to tag. (2-3 people, or more, if you wish)
3. Write one or two sentences to continue the story, and use the titles of the blogs you’re tagging or any word(s) associated with them as keywords in the links you include as part of the sentence.
4. Remember to tell your taggees that you’ve tagged them!
5. Feel free to use this and start your own viral link story.

Please link back to Stine @ Mother’s got a Dot Com as she is the author of this meme.

Now – to the story – enjoy!

Mother’s Home! the cave troll yelled. I have been out all day strangling chickens like CRAZY! for the evil Empress. All i want now is a MOment to myself, but i keep getting Linda talking Drivel, but that is better than a certain someone Mooing. Then suddenly what should appear but the NOT evil Empress and all her strangled chickens and Mags cooked them all up and made us a lovely cake to eat. Gracie wanted all the cake for herself but the NOT evil Empress was able to hack off a good sized slab for herself!!! Ha ha ha, Gracie belched loudly after eating all the scrumptious cake that Mags had baked and watched Callie scrappin’ with Sarge about who was gonna win Big Brother 8. Sarge started humming “Dixie,” and almost choked on the bite of cake in his mouth! So he got some coffee to go to wash down the cake. The coffee helped a bit but he had to vocalize before he started singing again so he began, “Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi…”…who heard him all the way from Bloggingham Palace and said, “Where is that awful noise coming from? Is there a sick wailing Wacky Mom loose in the woods?” She said, “I’ll bet Songbird can teach him to sing!” but she was busy BONDing in the desert with Kathleen who sat writing heresy in her diary. She was absolutely no help. So Mi-Mi asked Kat to put him on the PP&P list to save his sorry soul. Alas, Ralph the Airhead made a new batch but the Patti-cakes fell in Polliwog’s Pond and nobody got to eat cake after all! It was all Bee’s fault (somehow). Feeling sorry for herself, she pranced over to Odat’s for a dance but she only heard strange mumbling…

That mumbling, however, resulted from The Alien Next Door trying to clone Justin Stanely’s Weblog. The meticulous and risky cloning occurred throughout several millennia, past, present, and future. Or so it seemed; no one could keep count. It was just too much. The mind-numbing years had finally sublimed the earth into a pristine Bobbarama. All well and good, said Bob, but whatever happened to the rules? Before anyone got hurt, however, enough stars fell and crashed to alert Sci-Fi Girl, who grabbed her laptop and returned to the woods, where Mimi’s Dating Profile popped up, allowing a lion to lie happily next to a lamb…Now, the insane writer burst into the forest, kissing the dogwood and sat on the lion, spinning tales about sci-fi girl’s boyfriend, sci-fi guy, who had his eye on [her] DNA, which he was hoping to sell for anything goes. But just then the mad goat lady and the drowsey monkey pranced into the forest and sang a truly quiet symphony, which annoyed the insane writer.“What’s that funky sound?” screamed sci-fi guy.

“Well, it sure isn’t a raspberry-latte!” grumbled the insane writer. “Get a grip, sci-fi guy! You’re my main character! I expect you to know how to split an atom! Ignore that woman and her indolent pet! Now, go and do your dastardly thing!”Kissing the dogwood had been a lure, a trap set by the Mighty Morgan to take control of the BlogWood. Those petulant witches disguised as writers must be eradicated, them and their man slaves. She stuck her talons into the lion with A Twist and a Skewer till it rolled over and laughingly pleaded to go back to Neverland where it had been extremely happy. Her faithful followers, the Gargons grouped around her skirt folds, drooling and kissing her hem in adoration. “Here, take this poison” she commanded, “why? (asked) paisley“, the only rebel in the camp. “To blight their computers my little friends, it’s a special potion A Bit of This and a Dash of the Other“…she smiled mysteriously in her best Mae West accent and set off in search of the Englebert Humperdink Fan Club.Well they searched all over boricua in texas….till they found just write road… aha this was the place… if they could just get in the front row,, surely that was the place that screamed “flash your knickers here“… and oh yes… they would… in doing so they could only hope to distract the masses long enough for the twisted sisters to sneak in with the special potion they had cooked up………

Disguised as margarita’s with colorful umbrellas, they sipped the potion while sitting in a nice place in the sun until they were laughing hysterically and begging for more comedy. Meanwhile, a random Magus roamed the woods searching for the golden icon that was being guarded by the Priory of Firefox. The icon held all the secrets of the blogging world, and these secrets were to remain hidden for all time…We have to climb this tree of magically changing heights to get to the dangerous land of Greg’s Brain for there we can unlock the secret of the icon, the icon called Remedial Rumination – what did it mean?. They crossed amel’s realm but the passageway was really dark, where is Titania Starlight when you need her we could do with some of her shining, said Meleah Rebeccah.The two of them looked at each other and then gazing into the abyss…they had an idea, an idea so brilliant….they laughed hysterically – Rubyshooz…but of course they will take us there.

So they mumbled some sort of incantation to call the Dark Eagles. The Dark Eagles swooped down a few moments later and they sat on top of them. Then they flew higher and higher and higher to get to the dangerous land. Upon arriving on the edge of the land, they saw Crow’s Feet dangling on the gate. Then Choc Mint Girl came out of nowhere, telling them that they had to have a new perspective before they could unlock the secret of the icon. Then poof! In an instant she was gone. Then they heard a loud, terrifying shrill from the east side of the land. What and who is it, they wonder?

Then there was silence. So quiet that they can even hear their own breathing as if there is no other living things around them. Now both of them were terrified and confused. Who was she? Why should they listen to her? “We need Max,” one of them desperately whispered. At the said of his name, the magical cat from The Kat House appeared, but he greeted them with words of warning. “She was right! You will end up in the Sebastian’s Soap Box!!” At this point, they were so blinded by greed and somehow for the very first time they ignored his advice. They started to climb up the gigantic gate with evil grin, but all of a sudden they were shaken by a deep man’s voice…“ONLY ONE MAN’S TRAVEL BLOG CAN UNCHAIN THE SECRET OF THE ICON…”

But Max showed up, and yelled “NO! DON’T LISTEN TO THAT MAN! I know how to unchain the secret of the icon!!!”…then she started climbing to join them; and when she was at their level she commanded them to follow her to the top! At the top, Max took the “Grow Rich along with Me” book out of her pocket and started looking for the code…”where’s that bloody thingy?” she kept asking; the code was nowhere to be found! Then she thought “Oh, no! I have to get into the grove and bargain it with Drollery and Circumspection Twins: they have a copy of the code! This is going to cost me money! Let’s go!!”…and off they went! Will the twins help them?…

No way! Thought the twins. We’re going to bolt! Why get into trouble for helping others? We’d rather work from home !! That’s the way to gather success !!! Plus it won’t benefit us at all if we help. We just want to find A Nice Place In The Sun, miles away from here. But first I think we need to talk to Mama about looking for hope. You see, I have this friend named NolaDawn, who is a PalmTreeFanatic. Before we do anything, we need to go eat some Panda Curry.

Quick! Grab it out of the Ice Box! And if we don’t fill up quickly on that we’ll just eat some Mo’!

After eating, we gathered our things and headed to the computer to Get Our Blog On! We thought about what Mimi would write…. and decided to go from there.

Sandee at Comedy Plus has bestowed yet another honor on me… I don’t know how I’ll ever repay her!  This award celebrates those who reach out and make the blogging world a better place.  So, in this spirit, I tag the following bloggers who make my days a brighter place (and whom I visit daily!).

Autopilot Technorati Wednesday, Oct 10 2007

Again, I was visiting Sandee at Comedy Plus (thank goodness she’s retired and can find this great stuff for us!) and she let us know about this wonderful thing that she found about called Autopilot Technorati. You know, it’s always nice to be nice and repay favors. With this program you automatically add those who have favorited you on Technorati, that’s right AUTOMATICALLY! You don’t have to do anything except download the program. How neat is that?

Here’s Sandee’s post with info on how to get the program.
