Was it just me, or were the Closing Ceremonies...not good? I loved Andrea Bocelli (I think I spelled that right) and the flying men. Other than that, it was a bit of a letdown. For the record, I was deeply disturbed by all the brides. What in the hell were they supposed to symbolize? I personally think they would have fit a lot better in the last Olympics in Salt Lake City. At least in Utah a multitude of brides would have made sense. Secondly, if all Canada has to offer for the next Olympics is ice fishing and Avril Lavigne, I will be staying away from Canada for many years to come. My dad's comment was "So they have a Brittany Spears too?" Yes dad, yes they do. And unfortunately they've inflicted her upon us.
On a more random note, my dad and I got into an argument last night (shock). He truly believes that oatmeal cookies, pizza, and anorexia are healthy. When I disagreed, he told me I was "very ignorant" because this was "proven science." Okaaaay. Is this the first sign of dementia?? Should I be looking for a personal care home?? Help me people!!

Lost Prophecies:
Welcome to the one procratination tool I have left. I'm an overworked, underpaid English teacher. I do, however, love my job. Seriously, I really do. Anyhow, this blog started in my grad school days. I'm currently redoing it to reflect my new position in life. Enjoy!
The Faerie Ring:
"Mom" - My mom who is the most wonderful mom in the world! We hang out together and go to craft shows.
"Dad" - My dad who pretends to be a hunter/mountain man. He makes good grouse and is convinced pizza is health food.
"Glitter Sister" - My sister who can be distracted by sale tags and sparkly objects. She's 20.
"Survivor Uncle" - One of my two uncles who feed me on Thursdays while watching Survivor. He likes Donny Osmond a little too much.
"Alliance Uncle" - Survivor Uncle's partner. We have an alliance and kick people off islands.
"The Tilted Dog" - Lucie, the cutest dog in the whole world. She's afraid of the kitchen and likes to chase squirrels. She also leans to the left when she has an ear infection.
