  •  After trying and trying to think of something clever, charming, funny, or inspiring to write -- ZILCH. Since i get so many complaints from the audience, (ok maybe a tad exaggerated there) I decided to take care of the problem temporarily.

     Was great to see friends again this last wk. end... I, Ms. Veronica, actually took a break from school and took a trip. Felt pretty good I must say.

     So excuse me but Spring time has got to be the most complicated time in an atheists life. How in the world  would you ever explain away the beauty and wonder of it all.. I can't help but feel alive... HE's alive, I'm alive and obviously by the sounds coming from the living room, others are alive too.*gotta love volleyball with a baloon*

     Take time to notice the small things. If you don't, life will hold the excitement level of a 45 year old's cell phone..Thats about all i could come up with. I'm shot. -veronica 

     

    14 more days till  summer vacation...

     Ick. I dislike old posts. It gets super old seeing them.And no worries, it wasn't like i was on Fall Break THAT long. Lots of things have happened since then.Things like......blessings and more blessings-aka gifts,(no complaining on that one there, Christmas time is a lovely time to be a teacher).Had a superb vacation.  Now we're gettin back the swing of things and the hustle and rustle of january..Minus the hustle and rustle part. The weather is really confusing the issue too. Not trying to be a dripping faucet here but hopefully we will at least get one snow or ice day this year.I think that would be nifty!  

     School has been going pretty swiftly. Although I feel as if i just run around the classroom all the time with this many kids. It amazes me how you can love each and every one in an entirely different way...Sounds just a           L-I-T-T-L-E  momish, but oh well. (no offense to the mothers, without you- we wouldn't be where we are today..ok so we pretty much wouldn't be here).

     Last year this time- i was camped out in another state for about 6 weeks. Amazing how time flies. I must admit a slight pang of jealousy stabs my heart every once in a while for all the people who are carefree and going with the wind while being able to take off of their job for things of such. Although the peace of being in God's will and having consistency in your life is a good feeling too. So, i shall be here waiting on my company to come visit me and sneaking in wk. end trips every now and again. Life is still good. :)

     Since it seems that I'm SOO good at getting like 5 paragraphs in a post about every time i do get around to posting, I'm going to make my exit. Here are a few photos of the last couple months of life...School, family, friends and the works. If you don't like the update. Leave. Happy snow flurrying (or lack thereof) to all. 

                                                                                           -Ms. Veronica to some and Veronica to many.

  •   Goood Thursday afternoon everybody...and yes, i did get tired of scrolling through all *ahem* 65 comments.... (feelin pretty good about that one, never mind that i got that many simply for not posting). I am still very much alive and  well. Especially the well part. One cannot imagine the wellness one feels while having an ENTIRE week and one day off of school....Can we all say " Fall break is amazing " together? FALL BREAK IS AMAZING. I do miss 'my kids' from school though, just not QUITE enough to go back QUITE yet.  

      Sooo since I'm on fall break and none of my dream trips really seemed to work out, and none of my dream company came, i am doing the whole proverbial "chillin with the homies" thing.  This is a good thing. I think it was quite needed. I've been trying to get some brownie points with the locals (like taking dear beth a frap....I'll take some e-props here)...

     In other news:  I now feel cool because I have started my first Ted Dekker book. Yes Yes I can here the audience gasping in shock. I just haven't made/took time to read for awhile. The song "This is my now" would sort of be fitting here. I think it would be groovy to say I don't like the book..JUST to be different. I think being different would be dishonesty in this case. I like him.

     So I think my new favorite place to eat will be Panera Bread. At least for awhile. My mom and I went shopping today and hit the place for lunch...Was very impressed. And no comments from you three times a week eater outers that say "Where have you been Veronica?!!"..Give me a break, how i was i supposed to know it was so good when there are always LOTS of other delightful places to eat.

     Since this post happens to be the list of firsts......I shall post my first photos on here of my students. I am quite proud of them all.

    There is all eleven of them in their uniforms.And no, i am not THAT short, I'm on a chair and they are surrounding me. Oh yes, and the mischief that gleams from the their eyes???It's quite real..

    Victoria had a birthday. Sweet sixteen and never been kissed. I will pay dearly for saying that.

    Valerie a.k.a. squirt also had a birthday and  turned nine.She's the kid on the left.

     

     I personally think my little-big siblings are really cute looking. But then again, i could be partial.

     

    Yours truly also had a birthday.Yep, all us girls have birthdays in Oct. Coincidence? nahhhhh.....

     

     

    So there..thats some of the happenings in the last month... This should satisfy you hungry subscribers.

    I'm off to continue enjoying my family and life and friends for the rest of vacation.. -veronica

  •   So I'm feeling foul. Simply for the fact that I had a post typed up and BAM...go  ahead and freeze PC. *sigh* Stupid thing.

     So I'm still alive and well..Aside for a slight case of aching bones...Which I actually hesitate to admit...Kind of embarrassing. Had a superbly fun wk. end though...Went away on a VERY short trip. "For love of the Game" (ok add friends to that.)

     So I refuse to apologize for not posting. I owe you little people nothing...However, LOTS has happened since I last posted. Flew to Kansas and flew home. Had a very bonding family time. My aunt and uncle pretty much put down the red carpet for us. Got to hit the water park, play some HOT rook games,  (I strongly dislike arrogant males that win...BOO little bro, BOO dad, and BOO uncle) and we had some huffin' good food. I  also have spent two weekends at home by myself..I mean i rather enjoyed myself..BUT never mind that I missed out on cool family trips. Feeling the whine here? Actually,  I felt it was right because of school, so hello to happy peaceful feeling.Life is still good. 

     So school is basically my life. Although since I'm an all American young person I still try to smoosh in hanging out and being with my friends and family.My night time schedule has really changed though..No late nights for me. I have a deep love for Friday Nights once again. Although I always have had a thing for them.

     I am really enjoying myself though... Don't get me wrong...I come home d-r-a-i-n-e-d. It's a happy kind of drained though usually. It's not all roses but I do feel satisfied.The kids in my classroom inspire me with their insane energy. I have 11 kids till lunch, and 7 after. I also have brilliant little kids. After asking for requests to sing in chapel, one of my cute K5 girls raised her hand and said  "Holy, Holy, Holy."  Hello, when I was a child I was still in the stage where "I am a C, I am a C-H"  was cool.  Things have really changed.My kids refer to stuff as "SWEEEEET!" and "THAT ROCKS!" The other day one of the boys asked me..."Miss Veronica, did you forget about the TP?" I couldn't figure out exactly what he meant until in the course of the conversation I realized he got TP mixed up with P.E.(phys. ed.) Not a dull moment. I could almost write a book. Almost being the key word. Quite frankly, my classroom "ROCKS!"  

           Cheers to these two for our little reunion this last wk. end.They are LOLing in this picture and thats why I like it. Two of my favorite people.                                         

                                                 Copy of hang out 082  

     

     And I got to travel all the way to OH with this girl. Beat her in two ABC games, thumb war, and rock paper scissors. Go me...Ok so she beat me some too. Welcome home kiddo..Its great having you home...

                                                    Copy of random pics 015

      

     

      I must go...It's WAY past my bed time....- Veronica to ya'll and Miss Veronica to some

     

    P.S. go me for NOT caving and NOT drinking Red Bull.

       So here she is. The busy person herself. My old post was really starting to bother me. Stale Shmale. It was almost a falsehood because it said that I was leaving for NYC the next day..I was SO there and im SO home. :) Speaking of the city....It was truly an amazing event in my life. I truly did like the place a little. And I definately realized I am a VERY blessed individual. But i received a HUGE blessing by going.

      So yes, summer life has been treating me quite well actually. Tripping there, being with my family, tripping here, enjoy the water here, enjoying the water there. Working here and working there. I think you get the idea. And yes, before you all moan about how I have such an easy life *im not guilty at all here*  let me just remind you that I'm trying to soak up all the benefits of being a free woman while I have it. This little school marm is fixin' to be TIED down. Thats T-I-E-D. TIED. I'm not very excited about the whole staying home/go nowhere type of thing, but about teaching. Yes, teaching. I'm scared too. We shall not expound. :)
      I shall leave you with a few photos from the chapter of my life called  "I was busy here are the highlights." So be stoked.
      Goodbye xangaland and hello Internet Fast (and yes, my dad did declare a PC fast for a whole wk). It shall be good, and painful.Although I'm pretty sure my dad is a wise man and this won't hurt me. :)  Sincerely,  The Ex-cyberworld sister, veronica
     
     
     
     
      So a few shots from NYC.Not very many, but a few.
    . beth n i craft class city with the boat
     
     Ok so i get home. And i get to do this. I rather liked it.
    vron the clown
     
    Some of the coolest things about summer is lots of good famliy times. I have the best. I got to trip wtih them this last wk. end and in exactly a wk. ago tomorrow (or err..today) i get to take fly away with them.WOO HOO!(Lynn and sandra, here we come!) We were privileged to hit Washington D.C. on sat.. Chalk one up for the USA.

  •     Sheer tiredness screams to get my tail to bed and avoid posting...BUT, since my dear friend bethany chose to post for  me earlier and since I am quite tired of seeing somebody else's writing on MY site....I'm fixin it.

      I must go... I leave in the morning. NYC here i come...Pray for us, that it would be all for His glory. -veronica

     

     

    Goodbye sweet south and hellooooo yank  territory.

  • Well, I bet next time Miss Veronica will remember to sign out! I could be really mean and post a nasty picture of her or something, but I'll be nice this time, Just don't let it happen again!:)

  • "Hi shortiam! It's been 851 (wow, that's a big number) days since you joined Xanga... won't you support us by going Premium?"  

       Nice try. I don't think so.  Even though 851 days is a big pile up. Beat me.

     

     Ok so just an annoying mesage here. For anybody who has been tryin to get  ahold of me. Be frustrated. My cell phone is done, buried, gone, fried, zero, nada, zilch. You get the idea. Talk about ANNOYING. Grrr.... Addictions are terrible. Hopefully I'll get another one in the next few days, but if I don't reply to your txts.."This is why, This is why, This is why I'm not."  

     

      So guess what my current favorite cd is?! (pretty sure you'll never guess). Ok, so i FINALLY got my cd back from HBS. And VERY sure we don't sound extremely "tight" but since it brings back such fond memories...Listen to it I do. Go me. And I've also looked at my yearbook about forty-five hundred times. Okaaay so maybe a slight exaggeration.

     

     So my life goes on. Normal stuff. But i feel so very spoiled to be living normal. My heart aches for all the hurting people. So many people's lives changed in the last week. I feel so small. I somtimes wish I could do something big in times like these. Then i remember that prayer is huge, but ONLY because of the huge God we serve. So pray I must.

     Goodbye everyone - and hello last night of Backyard Bible School 2007. Gotta run. veronica

     

    ok, so just a reminder:  Father's Day on Sunday. Feeling pleased I remembered it, so I just had to act like I'm all that AND more by reminding yall about it. Pretty sure the latest issue of GOLF magazine and an endearing card is rather small but HEY, i do what i can. he he. (that was for donna)

  • So i figure i could stand a post. Or two. And since my pictureless site is getting Boring with a capital B...im going to post a few photos. go me.
      So i've been enjoying friends and life. Which is DEF a good thing.
      And I might as well take care of another matter on here. No, I am not going to Canada next wk. end...It's just not err...coming together. Im going to the beach beginning of next week (pretty stoked about that one) which would mean that I would barely get home and have to leave again...PLUS figure up the miles between south carolina and canada. Bingo. You win the jackpot.
     So yes, party on without me everyone. Everyone will have a grand time I'm sure. So be excited. At the rate this hermit is going...I shall only exist  in people's memories before long. That could be a good thing though i suppose. 
      Sooo.....don't know whats with me and parks lately but i've been officially hitting them.  heidiho, gwendolyn, ericajones  and i had a grand little time awhile back while we were waiting on the rest of the party to join us. We entertained ourselves with our cameras. I call it -  "The shooting in the park." HE HE.

    *DRUM ROLL PLESE*
     
    i got to spend an evening in antoher park awhile back...The Ball Park. Turner field how i like thee.
     
     
    Even though im not like the best keeper upper with the Braves i still was thrilled to go to their game. And cheer I did.
     
     
    Smoltz doing his thing while warming up. MVP of the game i might add.. sry its blury. I ahh sorta had to umzoom it. BUT its still him and I did for real see him in real life.

  •    Xanga Lock. I’m officially addressing the issue. Ok so I figure its not a big deal who  visits my site but I’m tired of the snoops who don’t have xanga sites hungrily gleaning the lame cyber world for juicy things to talk about. Not that I put juicy stuff on here in the first place. Sheesh, you’ll catch me doing no such thing… but for the gossip stalkers out there - talk to the lock.  Apologies to the innocent.

         So doesn’t it just annoy you when something random happens but it doesn’t happen as  “cool” as you wish it would’ve happened.  Get this…..So I think I feel something on my foot and all of a sudden -*pang*- I feel this sting/pain project into my toe….I look down and there is this centipede-millipede wormo thingamabob that  bit me! The thing was a beast. It took me awhile to kill it because it was such an odd creature and wouldn’t die. GRRRR!! I saved the body just in case it was in some relation to the scorpion and I would have to be rushed into the ER because my foot had turned blue from poison. It was a very annoying experience. The only bummer is I wish I would have been doing something heroic. What a rip.

        So I got to mow today…One of the most relaxing spring/summer things to do  …... HA! Did you ever notice how fun it is to run over ant hills with a mower? POOF – a big cloud of red dust comes out. I personally think its amusing.

      

        GOAL OF WEEK: beat my brother in a one on one game of basketball…hear me growl.

                                     (“I’m gonna get that ant- if it’s the last thing I do”) 

     

         CRAVING OF WEEK: mint tea.

       

        HEROES OF WEEK: my mom, aunts and grandma.

     

        MISSED HUMANS OF THE WEEK: bethany and alicia

     

     

                                                           Seek Him……  veronica joy  

     

     

    *Perhaps one day I shall put on photos…but until then. prove to me that a post without photos can get just as much comments…
