The past year has taught me a few fine lessons that I will share, sorry to be boring but it's important to share the good & not so.
Lesson one, don't share a desk or even use a corner as a pile coaster for your coffee cup if this desk happens to be shared with the fastidious 8 year old who sees anything not pertaining to his world as recycling or better yet guinea pig bed liner. Same goes with important items around the house or within the car glovebox (i.e. phone chargers, ipod connectors, or aux cables) as these will be absconded along with any gum or breathmints you may have squirrelled away. Instead of recycling, these items go straight into local service never to be seen again.
Lesson two: this final lesson was learned as the other 2-99 were pretty lame and not worth putting you to sleep with includes the life lesson of honesty is the best policy. Except, perhaps when dealing with the DMV
I would be remiss to not share my personal favorite of the lessons 2010 hit parade, number 43: don' t be disillusioned with smog testing as it applies to that '78 VW Bus that you just had to bring down from Seattle. Her color is a bright shiny green apple, with the original groovy plaid seat covers. Shagaliciousness. Tinkerbell is her name, pollutin' is her game.
Washington State may be green, but Washington State plated vehicles can be stinky-er that the smoking tent of the governator past. Sacramento may allow gross polluters, but only if tied to big-oil-politically well-heeled lobbyist groups. Washington State is catalytic converter scarce, as is the model of converter needed to make Tinkerbell legal.
The search continues for the thirty-three year old parts.
Local Government Day is this Friday, January 7th. I look forward to seeing you all then and hearing about life lessons of the last year and New Year's Resolutions!
Remember resolution breakers misery loves company.
In the mean time, forward that hoard of pictures you are dying to share with the class..we want to see them too.
All the best to you,
Christine
