You're Welcome...

This is actually how I fold my fitted sheets and I learned a long time ago, but I came across this video today that I thought I'd share.

Go to Annie Blog and learn something for today!

Seriously?

A Dream I Hope Never Comes True...

Two nights ago, I had the strangest dream. I mean crazy. Bizarre.

I dreamt I had the baby and it (I think it was a boy in the dream, but I don't know for sure) was just a few days old and we were on vacation with my family. I don't know where we were, but it doesn't matter.

Scene One: In our hotel room. I'm sitting on the bed, holding our baby and Stephen walks in with another baby. It looks just like the one in my arms, but instead of being normal skin colored, it has a greenish-yellow tint to it.

Me: What is that?

Huzz: It's our clone baby!

Me: What? Where did it come from?

Huzz: Well, now, when you have a baby, they give you a clone baby, too!

Me: What? For what?

Huzz: To practice on and stuff. I don't know.

Me: Do we keep it forever?

Huzz: No, I think only for a few days.

Me: No! Absolutely not! Give it back to the nurse now! That is crazy!

Huzz: (Looks confused and like I'm the crazy one.) Okay. (He puts it in another room.)

Scene Two: We walk around wherever we're on vacation for the day and I'm just carrying the baby. It's quiet and honestly, pretty weird looking. We go to a restaurant to eat dinner. We sit down at a back table in a corner.

Me: Mom! I haven't fed this child yet today!

Mom: Well, you better get started.

Me: Is he okay???

Mom: I don't know - just feed the child!

Me: (I start feeding it and I'm really relieved that he's eating. I FORGOT TO FEED MY BABY.)

Huzz walks in with the clone baby.

Me: Get that clone baby out of here now!!!

Huzz looks to my mom for help and she, too, thinks I'm overreacting.

Mom: Stephen, based on Beth's reaction, I think you should just give the clone baby back to the hospital.

Huzz exits.

And that was my dream.

Thankfully, last night's dreams were uneventful.

So Confused...

I went to foxnews.com today, just to see what's happening. You'll probably laugh at me, but it looks like Lindsay Lohan is now a lesbian?

What?

I've never been a LiLo fan, mostly due to her ridiculous behavior, immaturity, and inappropriate clothing. The only decent thing she's done with her career was her acting role in The Parent Trap when she was about eight years old. And even that was mediocre, at best. I mean, you can't beat the original, with Haley Mills.

Not only do I feel old, not knowing what these kids are up to these days, but I also am realizing how isolated I am from knowing the news of the rest of the world.

Can't say I'm missing much!

4th Worst...

Haha! I just love this. Of course we are living here!

Practise Your Maths

Since things are not quite as organized as planned at my school, we did not have parent/teacher conferences this October. Thank goodness. But, we did have to write student progress reports.

I normally do quite well with this ~ don't have very many errors with spelling or grammar.

Until I started being forced to speak like a Brit.

The British people have two spellings for practice.

• Practice - noun, verb, -ticed, -tic·ing.
  –noun
  1. habitual or customary performance; operation: office practice.
  2. habit; custom: It is not the practice here for men to wear long hair.
  3. repeated performance or systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill or proficiency: Practice makes perfect.
  4. condition arrived at by experience or exercise: She refused to play the piano, because she was out of practice.
  5. the action or process of performing or doing something: to put a scheme into practice; the shameful practices of a blackmailer.
  6. the exercise or pursuit of a profession or occupation, esp. law or medicine: She plans to set up practice in her hometown.
  7. the business of a professional person: The doctor wanted his daughter to take over his practice when he retired.
  8. Law. the established method of conducting legal proceedings.
  9. Archaic. plotting; intrigue; trickery.
  10. Usually, practices. Archaic. intrigues; plots. –verb (used with object)
  11. to perform or do habitually or usually: to practice a strict regimen.
  12. to follow or observe habitually or customarily: to practice one's religion.
  13. to exercise or pursue as a profession, art, or occupation: to practice law.
  14. to perform or do repeatedly in order to acquire skill or proficiency: to practice the violin.
  15. to train or drill (a person, animal, etc.) in something in order to give proficiency. –verb (used without object)
  16. to do something habitually or as a practice.
  17. to pursue a profession, esp. law or medicine.
  18. to exercise oneself by repeated performance in order to acquire skill: to practice at shooting.
  19. Archaic. to plot or conspire.
  
• Also, British, practise (for defs. 11–19).

Now, since I believe all my readers are from the U.S., you most likely agree with me that practice with an "s" is just practice misspelled.

One more thing that has bothered me since I came here is that the British teachers call math, "maths." I don't know why, or where it comes from. But, I cannot simply change my whole life of saying "math" to now saying "maths."

However, I have been advised that I do.

On a much nicer note, look what I get to see out of my classroom window each day:

Except for today because it's cold, foggy, and dark. Depressing. And, it's FREEZING in the building because for some reason, the air conditioning is running full-force.

Ummmm....

Found this on the boys' restroom door the other day. It makes me giggle.

P.S. I miss Velveeta Shells 'n Cheese

It's Twins!

Hahaha, I know a few of your hearts just skipped a beat there from the title! I am sooooooooooooo funny.

One morning, I was making something with eggs. I believe it was....wait for it.....

SCRAMBLED EGGS.

And I came across a twin egg! Oh, I have heard of such a phenomena, but have never actually witnessed it with my own eyes.

See the two yolks that are right next to each other on the left side of the bowl? That's them!

In case you were wondering, they were quite tasty.

Huh?

Stephen and I have noticed some interesting marketing techniques here. One of them being silly sort of mottos to promote their companies. We're not sure if it's just a matter of things getting lost in translation, or if they really think it sounds good.

Here is one, just across the street from our apartment right now.
If you're thinking, "Huh?" you'd be right with us. But don't you just love Stephen posing, with the peace sign? It makes me laugh.

Marshmallow Game

I just think this is so funny. It makes me giggle whenever I watch it!
