I was able to show the student who almost broke my arm...my arm. I explained to her ( that's right JuJuan...a girl beat me up!) that I learned something about myself after she hit me...that if I lost the use of my legs, I can run with my butt cheeks! Seriously, I got some great oatmeal cookies for me and the rest of the class for the injury!
The storm beat our cars to death...see, I was trying to get home from this little class in Alpharetta, and the bottom dropped out at about Six Flags. I said a prayer...which I'm sure, (because of the language I was using during the storm)didn't get much higher than the ceiling of my car and also proved to be the very reason the hail got bigger and faster. I became a six year old girl with the covers over my head but finally made it home. I used the day's notes that Julia took for me as an umbrella (Can anyone send a copy of the notes to me?) and got into the house. There I met...the most beautiful woman I have ever known... Deb"zilla"! She reminded me that she told me several times to pull over and find shelter; and I reminded her, that about the time her voice volume got higher than an air raid siren, I go deaf! Anyway, we're still very much in love...I still can't sit down from a big bite out of my @#$ and things are great. Hope every one is OK and remember...If you kiss and their lips are hot...they have Malaria!

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7

If you give me your fax number Steven I can get the notes to you again. Glad you made it home ok through the storm. I made it home 10 minutes before it hit.
Steve,
If your one of those guys who seems to be able to just let this stuff roll off of your tounge then you should truly consider moonlighting as a comedian. You are a nut, man! I look forward to reading your blogs. We all need a laugh....and often if your a teacher!
Steve
