A Woman of Many Talents...

Superheroes have many powers. Some have the ability to climb the side of buildings, some have super-human strength, some have the ability to travel through time and some may even have the ability to fly. I can't do any of those things but that doesn't make me any less than super. Just because I am mostly human does not take away from my worth or ability. Here is a list of what Alice does well(I hope you can appreciate the list):

1. Alice has an amazing ability to sense when people are not themselves. She can also usually make said people feel better, if given the chance.
2. Alice has an amazing amount of sensitivity. She once thought this was weekeness but has since learned the healing power of tears.
3. Alice has a quick wit about her.
4. Alice loves so hard that sometimes it almost feels as if it could kill her.
5. Alice is quite the Guitar Hero player.
6. Alice has an amazing talent of taking a nap on her couch each night before going to bed.
7. Alice has a great knowledge of weightlifting.
8. Alice can walk and chew gum at the same time.
9. Alice has a great sense of direction.
10. Alice has a pretty sweet pair of bikes.
11. Alice can make friends easily.
12. Alice has mad first date skills.
13. Alice has this amazing calmness about her.
14. Babies love Alice.
15. Alice is surrounded by amazing people daily.
16. Alice touches the future by helping teenagers see their worth.
17. Alice can drive in the snow.
18. Alice can parellel park.
19. Alice can forget stuff easily, helping her forgive quickly.
20. Alice has a huge heart.

Thanks for letting Alice be reminded of the good things about her. It was hard to remember the good things today. Dang lack of sleep and light. Here is to a short winter filled with adventure to help get through it!! Please forgive any misspellings or grammer issues. This post was made via the iPod touch!

Greetings from Parent Teacher Conferences.

I think I want to write a random blog. Today it is cold. It is currently 6 degrees. Nobody is at Parent Teacher conferences. I have had only 9 parents come in. Is it due to the cold? Maybe they have all gone Christmas shopping? Who knows.

I will eat sushi tomorrow night. I just wanted you all to know. I even called the place to make sure they don't use peanuts while cooking. I think dying on a first date would not be a good first impression.

Do you think rats worry about first impressions? Did you know that for every person that lives in New York City there are about 1,000 rats. I don't think they worry about first impressions because they can dominate at any time. 1,000 to 1 are great odds.

I would bet on Red today, if I were at the roulette table.

Red is a good color for this time of year, thanks to the season. My nose wears that color red lots lately.

My landlord came to my house this morning to tell me to leave my heat at 70 degrees or else. He really didn't threaten me but I do not like when people tell me how to live my life. My friend told me to take attendance for one of my classes and I told her not to tell me how to live my life.

Life is good, isn't?

Well, my creative juices are dwindling. I am way tired. I must now go home in the cold and think about rats and first impressions. I must also not cook with peanuts and enjoy the 6 degree weather. And I will highly enjoy the episode of The Office!

Cheers!

The end of the day comes too quickly sometimes...

I am over tired these days because the end of the day comes much too soon. Like tonight. I was at school for a long period of time and then I did my laundry and then I came home and watched Mercy and now it is well past eleven and I am not in bed.

I am excited that there are only 7 days left of school until break. I fly home a week from Saturday. I am just so excited. I like going home.

I do not remember a whole lot from today. The day kinda flew on by.

I am too tired to blog, so this is all you get and here I go to sleep.
