Allergies. We all have a few.

Just so you know, there are things I can no longer appreciate:

1. Mold/mildew. I cannot stay in your basement.
2. Hay. Don't ask me to feed your horses. Not unless I take out stock in Puffs Plus first.
3. Dust. I won't clean those hard to reach areas above your bookshelves. I don't care if you have a swiffer.
4. Strawberries. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit! Isn't that bullshit?
5. Poison Ivy. While I never appreciated poison ivy, I now appreciate it even less. Makes life a little tough when I like the outdoors so much.
6. Eyeliner. Just discovered this month. WTF?!
7. Small children named Lilly, Gavin, Dillon, Justin, James, Jay, Michael, or Josh. It's true: teach long enough and you will never know a name that you like anymore because it will always remind you of a child that drove you nuts. Lilly used to be my very favoritest name in the whole wide world. Now I'm leaning toward Elsa. Not that it makes a lick of difference. Doubt I'll have any more children.

Now you can go on with your lives.

I must go bathe child in a pristine bathtub.
Today was cleaning day. Yay for a clean house!

aaron does not make me happy, either. I have no opinion of allen at this point. Although alyn was a student I had when I student taught. She was one of the two sane ones. Ryan was the other one. But I can't stand the name Ryan thanks to a kid I grew up with.

COLDS BE DAMNED! I CAST IT FROM YOUR BODY!!
