wan-na find something?

i hate mondays.

yesterday was not a good day. i almost had to break out my AK.

on my way to a meeting with the teen's counselor to discuss her classes for the rest of her high school career, i found myself stopped about 1/4 of a mile away from the school with this behind me:

apparently, with my mind wandering to daydreams of the teen finding a sport that she loves and being so motivated by the new friends she made that she was pulling straight As, i'd failed to come to a full and complete stop. balls!

the meeting was fine - we went over the requirements for graduation as well as those for acceptance into both private and state-run colleges. a lot has changed since i was looking at all of these options - the application process is much simpler, but now weighs primarily on GPA. yikes.

later, as i attempted to pull up a recipe for chicken tortilla soup that i'd planned on making for dinner, i found that our internet was down. and nothing i did would fix it. i'm currently on hold with customer service - fifteen minutes and counting.

monday = FAIL.

  1. sorry you had a bad monday. i know this is nowhere close in comparison because you love to cook from scratch, but.... the chicken tortilla soup from fresh n easy is really good and ready to heat and serve. we have a gas leak and are having to cook using a microwave, toaster and crockpot until its fixed so this soup hit the spot last night. ok im rambling. i hope your tuesday is better.

  4. Fucking ticket. Sucks man.

    Was there ever a time when college admissions wasn't based largely on GPA?

  6. She still has time to pull up her GPA in time for college applications. I'm sorry to hear about the ticket :( That totally sucks. I love that you took a picture of the scene though. That takes guts.
