I’ve been readin’ up a storm

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Well, that last rant seemed to quiet down the comments a little on my blog. Ah well, I needed to get it out of my system :). You’ll all be happy to know that they turned the air conditioners on on Thursday morning after our vice principal spent an hour in the downstairs office.

My grrl friends out there know that I love ice cream. I’m pretty positive I inherited this trait from my mother, who has the same weakness.
