Post It

Disclaimer: This post is not intended to anyone directly, nor is it meant to be offensive in anyway. I'm just bein' me, which is always a risk...   

     I didn't get Facebook until 2011, and the only reason I did was because Reuben went to Korea and that was our way of "chatting." I didn't have a smartphone at the time, and my technological knowledge of communication was limited to sending an email. Facebook is an amazing thing. I always refer to as THE Facebook, just as I say THE Wal-Mart or THE Pinterest. But now that I have it, I get kind of aggravated when people don't. I blame it on my overwhelming dependence on all things convenient.
     I don't need to tell you that people use Facebook for different things. There are plenty of memes out there that highlight the various types of Facebook users. The hilarity of these memes resonates with individuals on personal levels, making them that much more enjoyable. I'm sure there is a category, or multiple categories, that I could fall under, but I know there are even more that I wouldn't. Facebook is not my diary, my billboard, my personal public service announcement tool, nor is it my Jerry Springer stage. It's simply my way of staying in touch.
     However, I do have the want to post something every single day. I purposely don't because I know I'm not that interesting, sometimes what I want to say is offensive, and I don't have a twitter account aiding my ability of throwing around hashtags. I present to you a month of stifled Facebook posts. And since I am not a member of THE twitter, I made up my own hashtag titles, ones that I feel are applicable to the subject at hand. AAAAnnnnddddd, here we go...

Made the mistake of styling a small "bump-it-ish" poof in my hair on the same day I wore a skirt...I was Pentecostal for a day.

I'm so proud of my art kiddos! I found a print online, and they replicated it beautifully. They still have no idea I'm clueless...but maybe I'm not...hmm...learning about myself.

Fabulous run today! It's amazing how good it feels when I'm not running in the soul sucking oppressive heat.

My goof in class after reading about an African tribe's penalty they put in place during a trial:

Me: "Yes, luckily we don't have 'cutting off genitals' in our penal system."

Students: (Wide eyes, pointing fingers, and laughter explodes).

Me: "No pun was intended, y'all...no pun."

I taught another awesome Zumba tonight, but you know what's weird? I'm the only white girl. No joke...literally, the only white girl in the room of 20+ women. "They gonna learn somethin' today!"

I'm just sayin' that if they sold alcohol at high school football games, you would find a bunch of little southern schools' athletic departments in the Forbes Magazine. Go Eagles!

If you see me running downhill, you can bet your butt that I already ran up it.

True story: I assigned my students a creative writing activity, a fable. One student had two main characters: Toke-It and Nigga. To the office that paper went. Later that week...

Student: You just think it says that 'cause I'm black.

Me: No, I think it says that because that's what you spelled.

A student cut off two of his fingers in shop today. But luckily, he was wearing his safety glasses.

Today, I met a woman who lost 143lbs. For dinner, I had pizza and chocolate. Abigail, where's the disconnect?

I came home to find that Seyo removed the doorstops from the wall. I'm not sure what beef she had with them, but she made her point clear.

I went to the local yogurt shop where I can add my own toppings and whatnot. I was in there for thirty minutes. You'd think I was deciding the fate of the world with how meticulous I was being.

I had my first physical therapy appointment for my hips today. After pulling, yanking, tugging, twisting, stretching, pushing, holding, thumping, he concluded that he had no idea what it could be. Great...

Ummm, the only thing I understand about the "BitStrip" trend going on right now is that I don't understand the "BitStrip" trend.

Talking with a friend at Wendys prior to the football game...

Me: Oh my gosh, I don't want a salad. I want a baked potato and some chili. Or that grilled chicken looks really good. I had a salad for lunch, so I definitely don't want one. I've not had a burger in a long time. You like the flatbread, yeah? Maybe I'll try that. Hmmmm.

Cashier: What can I get for you?

Me: May I please have a salad?...actually, make that half a salad.

(My Ipod tells me I have over 900 songs.)

Me: (I put my Ipod on shuffle.)

Ipod: (I will play the same 40 songs over and over again, making sure they are only the slow songs, Zumba songs, and none of your recently synchronized songs.)

Ask yourself, "Did I take/post more than one selfie today?" If the answer is yes, please go buy a mirror.

Student: Mrs. Newton, you should give me candy for Halloween.

Me: I'll give you candy when you pass my class.

Student to self: I'm never gonna get candy...

It's been a full month today since my amazing husband left, which means it's been a full month today since I've lifted a finger in this house.

Well, I bought candy for the trick-or-treaters, but they didn't come to the house, which was a good thing because I ate the candy for the trick-or-treaters.
