Fake-busyness
Pet peeve: Fake-busyness.
Note: We all have lives and we are all busy.
The proper response is, “I’m sorry, but really, you are not that important to me.”
There … was that so hard?
I’m Getting a Facelift!
If you’ve visited here much over the past few weeks, you may have noticed different blog designs. I’ve finally settled on the perfect theme and will be making noticeable changes today.
A Martha Stewart Wanna Be
Inspired by the movie Julie & Julia
Martha Stewart, for all the criticism she receives, is a woman to chase after. She is, in my opinion, one of the few women in this world worth a second look.
So who am I? A freelance writer and Adjunct Professor of Mathematics – two worlds that collide in that of themselves. In my ‘other’ lives, I am a home educator and Roller Derby chick! I’m not particularly creative, but have a corny sense of humor. I, too, am looking for a challenge (as if I don’t already have enough challenges of my own being).
I cannot even pretend to be able to cook for 365 days straight as Julie Powell did (being out of the house 5 nights per week prevents that novel idea), but I will cook from Martha’s masterpieces the other two days. If we’re lucky, I will feel froggy enough to post pics!
This too, can be a very good thing! :)
An Irreverant Message
This is a very funny message from Santa and his elves, but truly irreverent; so don’t call if you are prone to being offended. I’m just sayin’!

Fundraising T-Shirts Banned At School
We have definitely crossed the proverbial line for the insane. According to a recent article, Fundraising T-Shirts Banned At School, the assistant principal at Salina Central High School banned the wearing of t-shirts because it refers to … shhhh …
boobies.
Two Salina Central High School seniors designed T-shirts to raise money for breast cancer awareness, but an assistant principal, Linn Exline, banned one of the designs from school citing that they crossed the line.
Here’s the kicker. Both of these girls are trying to raise breast cancer awareness among girls – both of their mother’s having been afflicted with the disease makes this an even more poignant story.
Haley Wenthe’s mother died from breast cancer five years ago, and Jessica Sheahon’s mom recently completed chemotherapy. So they set out to raise $10,000 during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
You’d think that this would be an excellent opportunity for discussion in health class. Hell, they have no qualms in handing out condoms and birth control. Whouda thunk that THIS would cause a disruption?
The shirts bear the phrase “Save 2nd Base” with a pair of baseballs over the wearers’ breasts. Officials said the shirts violate the district’s dress code, which bans clothing with an “implied indecent meaning.”
I believe that someone should definitely send this assistant principal to the funny-farm. At the very least, she should be condemned to a life of misery for insulting every woman (and man) who have fought or are fighting breast cancer. I am having a lot of trouble understanding the reasoning behind her actions.
