My daughter made a video in school. Pretty interesting. They got to write, act, direct and film it themselves. Her particular subject, was the dangers of cheating. (such as on tests etc) This would explain her recent interest, or not really so recent, in video taping everything I do. (And no, they will never be displayed here.) I really like her school, although with recent issues you might think me to feel otherwise. But her school has handled everything pretty well and I certainly don't expect them to be responsible for an individual childs choices. How they handle and discipline the aftermath, I do. At any rate, sometimes I feel like my daughter has had the priviledge to attend a magnet school. The one she attends, is small. Very small for a public school. The teachers and faculty are creative and fun. From the amazing Art Exhibits, Musical programs to the teacher against student basketball games and community science projects. I am heartened about her moving towards middle school and the awkward and challenging moments those years hold, but I am also going to miss this school she is growing from.

I seem to have my funniest thoughts in the shower. Well, maybe not so funny, more-over, odd. I was there this morning, trying to function, and I was getting annoyed that I couldn't keep my deep conditioning hair on the top of my head while I went about other business. Everytime I turned around, the water on my back would get the ends of my hair and wash off the conditioner, where, of course, I need it the most. Dag Nab it! So I thought, I should have one of those shower caps. It would help with the condition effect as well (heat etc) But then...my mind flashed to something completely forgotten. The YMCA. I took swim lessons there when I was 6. I had to wear this horrid yellow swim cap with giant and I mean GIANT orange flowers. Not printed flowers mind you, Big Rubber appliqued flowers that stuck up and wiggled when I walked. (My hair was blonde when I was little and the chlorine turned my hair green.) I was a vision... Chubby little girl in a red bathing suit, swim fins, buck teeth, my yellow swim cap, orange flowers and goggles. Losing the swim cap probably wouldn't have helped the image much, or my swimming abilities, for that matter.
And so...No shower cap for me.

No points needed. In fact, down with points! Nasty sharp things. We're better off without them!
Dang me your quick. :P
(I just typed this sentence that rambled on for about 20 minutes, in response to your comment. Seriously, a rambling 20 minute sentence. Or maybe it just would taken someone 20 minutes to make sense of it. I think I am starting the rambling thing again...)
And..yes, no points needed.
