Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear ctrokj !
Happy birthday to you!

I hope you have a fabulous day! And um ideally...I'll have your present ready later today...otherwise I'll try to get it done by the end of the weekend. And just because I want to give you something now...a teaser from your present. Middle of the story, but one of the more amusing parts...the girl is just saying what we're all thinking!

And there ya go...more and the beginning to follow.

It's Called Procrastination

I'm supposed to be working on ctrokj 's birthday present...I apparently have about a ten minute attention span. So far I've watched an episode of Smallville, messed around on-line, and told serenelystrange  about the conversation I had with my students about my computer wallpaper today.


Okay this is what happened with the wallpaper...cause well it involves my kids (and the amusement factor with them never gets old), Christian Kane, and yeah...it just always amuses me.

A little bit of background for those of you not in the know about my kids...I teach in an urban district and my kids are all African American or variations there of...so me with my pale white skin kinda stands out...and according to them...I have bad taste in music, movies, pretty much everything.

Anyway today I texted serenelystrange  during lunch and pointed out to her that I had f'ed up my background and never bothered to fix it (I was moving pix around and deleted it) and was tired of the plain black so who should I put up. She said "our boy" meaning Christian Kane was always a good choice or shirtless Jensen. Well, I don't have a wallpaper with Jensen from the episode she was talking about (gee maybe I should make one?) so I decided on picking one of CK...and asked her long hair or short...we decided on long. I picked this picture:

( Pretty )

And since I have my laptop at school and it sits on my desk--my kids decided they needed to see what I was up to. Their comment was "Why do you have a country singer on your computer?"

I commented to serenelystrange ...how did they know he was a country singer? and she replied: "well, he's white.. has pretty hair.. and a guitar.  it does kinda scream country singer.  all that's missin is the hat" Which cracked me up even more than the kids...gotta love it...and I had to share...cause yes...I'm procrastinating...and now I should go back to what I am supposed to be doing.
