isn't this the saddest looking little kitten you've ever seen?
my brother-in-law brought her home to my sister and the kids yesterday because she needed a home.
she kinda looks like a little bush-baby.
she's really a little sweetheart.
sogn of the times
Oct. 2nd, 2006 05:47 pmmy sister got this email from her son's 8th grade ENGLISH teacher today.
To: My Sister@
From: "Mrs. O'Donohue" @
Subject: READING LOG DUE!!!
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2006 08:21:41 -0700
Dear (Misspelled her name),
Reminder to all: Your reading Log is due, tomorrow, Tuesday, October 3, 2006. I
WILL NOT ACCEPT IT LATE! Parents must sogn it! Make sure your name is on it.
Gradeing: Honors 40 pgs or more equals 200 points, 449 pages or less equals 0
points. Regular classes: 300 pages or more equals 200 points, 299 pages or less
equals 0 points. Be prepared to write a Book Summary in class!
Respectfully, Mrs. O'Donohue
ok now, i'll give her "sogn" as a typo, because she might've been in a hurry and the "i" and "o" are next to each other on the keyboard.
but GRADEING? from an english teacher? i'm sorry, you have to proofread your emails and set a good example for your students. and this isn't the first time she's sent a mistake-riddled email.
sheesh.
EDIT: they received a second email. omg, this teacher EDITED her errors! riiiiiiight!

Dear (misspelled again),
Please forgive me for missing my editing mistakes! That is the last time I try
to get out an email 2 minutes before class starts on a Monday morning! Most
importantly, Honors students need 450 pages (not 40). Regular classes 300 pgs.
Make sure there is a parent signature!!! Anything less is no credit. In
addition, if for some reason, you do not have the official log, you may create
your own, including the book title, pages read, and parent signature!
Thanks a bunch,
Mrs. O'Donohue
ha. i didn't even catch that before. of course she didn't say anything about the spelling errors.

Oct. 2nd, 2005 02:38 am1:30 am - my sister gets ready to leave
1:33 am - where the fuck are my keys?
1:33-2:30 am - search EVERYWHERE; re-tracing her steps all day
2:33 am - find them in the bottom of the trashcan. NOT the nice clean kitchen trashcan, but the big-stinky-sitting-in-the-90-degree-heat-garbage-filled trashcan outside.
good thing we'd had plenty of wine.

May. 3rd, 2005 11:44 amno one really cares but me, but i am going to document that i bowled a 195 last night!!! two big games two weeks in a row. that's unprecedented. for me.
the reason it's important to me is because i've always been the crappiest bowler on the team. the lead-off man...the inconsistent one...the not-really-serious-about-bowling one in a family of mostly scratch bowlers.
but
lately
i can't NOT bowl well. in other news, my sister sucks so much bowling wind that she's ready to quit. :/

it's not a child, it's a cat!
Oct. 19th, 2003 02:01 pmmy computer wouldn't even turn on til yesterday afternoon. when it did, there was a dsl outtage in my area. figures.
yesterday we went with my little sis to adopt a kitten. she picked out the sweetest little seal point siamese baby, but someone else had picked her on friday and they had until 5pm last night to come get her. so we had to wait until this morning to find out. oh, and they wanted to talk to her landlord to make sure she was allowed to have a cat. she told them she'd have to call them back with her landlord's number. she wanted to call him first and make sure it was okay.
this morning the pet adoption center called and said the kitty was still there for her if she wanted it, but they just needed to call her landlord. by noon, her landlord still hadn't returned her call, soooooooooo she gave them my cell phone number to call and allen pretended he was the landlord.
seriously, it took us about an hour to prepare for this. we were nervous. we didn't want to blow it. what questions would they ask? maybe we should change the voice mail message in case they call later. finally they called and we let the voice mail answer with allen's voice recorded on there using the landlord's name. then he waited and called back about 15 minutes later.
"hello"
"yes,is this mr. landlord?"
"yes, hi"
"this is miss soandso from the pet adoption center. is it okay if tracey has a cat at her apartment?"
"sure, no problem"
"okay, thanks"
click.
omg, THAT'S IT!?!?!?!!
so, she's going to pick up her little kitty now. allie and i are going to go visit the new addition at my other sister's house before tracey takes her home. i hope to get some pictures.
in other news, the dolphins just lost. grrrrrrrr.

i don't think i ever mentioned that my little sister's mammogram results came back normal. of course, we all breathed a sigh of relief. thanks for your good thoughts and prayers!

Sep. 17th, 2003 05:44 pmmy sister (the younger one) just called and asked me if i was there on monday night when she was talking about the little bump she felt under her armpit.
uh......NO, i wasn't there. i must have been up bowling when she was having this conversation with my other sister and my brother. FUCK!
so she went to the doctor today and he's sending her for a mammogram. a week from saturday. FUCK! how the hell are any of us going to sleep for the next week and a half.
please let it be a cyst or something like that.
