I'm sure everyone remembers how important prom is to teenagers. I can remember it being the late 90's-2000 and one of my biggest concerns was, "OMG (except in 2000 we didn't use the acronym) who in the world can I go to prom with!!!!!!!!"
Flash forward eleven years later...who is in charge of prom...this girl. Interestingly enough being on the production side of the prom...it just isn't all that exciting.
1. I receipt lots of cash, checks, and change. It's amazing how many combinations kids can put together to create 25 bucks. I get lots of last minute, "but can't I pay Monday"...no...no you sure can't because I've been making the same announcement about the final day to pay since the beginning of January.
2.One of the questions that starts popping up...OHHHHHH yeah around the first day of school, "Miss do you know what the prom theme gonna be this year?"...actually no I haven't yet had time to think about it what with the 150 new students I have right now.
3.Can I bring my 39 year old sister...she's never been to a prom before? Why no you sure can't...because that would cause someone to want to bring their sketchy way too old boyfriend or girlfriend...and lets face it that's just not going to happen either.
4.I spend thousands of dollars on food that won't get eaten and cardboard. YES...the night of your dreams is decorated in 2000+ dollars worth of overpriced cardboard, colored tape, and balloons.
COME ON APRIL 9th...Let's get this cardboard paradise show on the road!!

List on Friday...
1. There is something about 70 degree weather that makes everyone think that flip flops are acceptable in February...even me.
2. There is something about 70 degree weather that encourages high school students to wear shorts,look stare out the window for 90 minutes, and be way more excited than usual. Apply all to me except the shorts part, I'd hate to blind anyone with the whiteness at present.
3. I have a 750 word poetry explication due for one of my grad school classes on Sunday. I have read the poetry, but that means nothing. I suppose I will spend the majority of my weekend figuring out how to decipher something I don't really care about...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
4. My boyfriend is out of town for the third consecutive weekend. He will be home tomorrow, it will be the best part of my week.
5. One of my best buds made a big announcement last night that I will discuss more at a later time. (Leah, I made a list of blog topics :))

Tobacco Road Battle...really who cares?
UNC-CH...Duke University
Granted, both teams have a better record than my cherished alma mater NCSU (Go Pack), but unfortunately they also both have the most annoying fans in the world. I understand that you were born with your "light blue" or "duke blue" blood, but let's face it...you more than likely don't have a degree from either one of said institutions. Just because you got a UNC starter coat for Christmas in the early 1990s, does not give you the authority to talk smack on F@cebook for months prior to this match up. It also does not give you the right to blame every loss on the refs. No matter how hard you want to dog Coach K or Roy, neither of them "suck" as a coach. Man up Nancy...you can't win 'em all.

UNC Poster Win!
So here's to you Mr. Tarheel Starter Jacket Cameron Crazy Excuse Maker...your rivalry is no comparison to Muhammed Ali vs. Joe Frazier, Pepsi vs. Coke, Cats vs. Dogs, or Good vs. Evil.

Tear your heart out...rainy day music
Ponder this while the deluge outside keeps you on the couch watching trashy tv. Thanks for sharing Leah. Now everyone go watch a chick flick...buy a bottle of wine and don't forget the kleenex.

Discussion Board Dominating Multitasking Nursing Mama.
Online classes are the most convenient inconvenience of my LIFE. It seems like no matter how "on top" of your game you are, like say you read the book in another life...or hell maybe you WROTE the book the professor chose...there is always ONE uber excited, brown-nosing student who no matter what will beat you to the punch and post on EVERY discussion board before anyone else gets the chance.
Meet "Misty", she is an overachieving, weather forecasting, mother of a four month old son, "Cowboy".
Sweet Misty, how with your full time job, husband, and for gracious sake your son do you have time to ruin the ability of every person in our class to get any credit for the discussion boards? Is it not enough that you have a correct citation for each and every source you even think about consulting? Would it be too much trouble for you to let someone chime in without your in-depth "eye-witness" news account and explication of every topic? Is it necessary for you to sit by your computer drooling at the though the teacher MIGHT just post something that you don't see within its first five minutes of air time on the WWW?
Misty, I know you have a lot going on...what with your tv airtime, cooking, cosleeping, babywearing, cloth diapering, baby food making, kum-ba-yah by the campfire baby einstein sing along time while you type discussion boards on your ipad and customize crafts for your personal et$y site. So in the near future, do yourself a favor and breathe for a few minutes. That might give me a chance to type a sentence before you chime in.
