Skydiving? Rollerblading? Middle School? Krispy Kreme?

Or perhaps a better title:  Random Friday !

When was the last time you tried something for the first time?
Think about that question.
It doesn't have to be something as exciting as any of the following.
Just give it some thought and share your answer. Somebody "de-lurk !"

 

*************************************************************************************

This is for my school-teacher friends who are back in the classroom starting a brand new school year... also for my homeschooling parents of middle-school aged children...and anyone else who relates to this age kiddo.

You Might Be a Middle School Teacher If :

You say everything twice...I mean you repeat everything.
You can have 3 cups of coffee before 7:00 a.m. and hold them until 3:00 p.m.
You  have the urge to trip someone who's going after the seat you want.
You are considering streaking your thinning hair purple or green.
You chew gun every waking moment.
You roam the shopping mall every Saturday. Sometimes Sunday, too.
You poke your spouse with a pencil to get his/her attention.
You know that bad really means good.
You start very sentence with, "OK, like you know..."
You have strolled by the tatoo parlor and thought, "Maybe on my arm..."
You are no longer surprised at how many body piercings there are.
You know that Poison is something to listen to, not to avoid.
You emit strange noises at faculty meetings and no one knows it's you.
You have an uncontrollable urge to bang every locker you pass.
You always jump to hit the signs hanging in the hallway.
You launch trash as a basketball from 3-point range at the trash can.
You view green peas as projectiles to be launched from your spoon.

Have a wonderful school year.

Notice anything peculiar about this picture?

Notice anything peculiar about this sign?

Notice anything peculiar about these doors?

I can't believe it !!

INCONVENIENCE #*!%#*! 
People !This is more than just an INCONVENIENCE !
That's a long way to drive for a doughnut. 
I'm going into sugar, fat, and carb withdrawals.
Someone please, please, please throw me a Krispy Kreme.

One last question:  If you were my checkbook, where would you be?

hiya--

a) i hate krispy kremes. close em all! though i remember one time in north carolina passing one and noticing that the H had burned out in the sign. doug partiuclarly liked that, since it now touted krispy doug nuts.

b) trying something new: some time i will tell you about the time my friend erik and i went kayaking. i cannot swim. i cannot roll a kayak. the water was high.....

suffice it to say it was the first and only time i ever went kayaking.

LAURIE:
a) Bite your tongue, woman !
Krispy Doug Nuts ! Bwahahah !
b) We probably have similar stories to share.

Delurk she say. When was the last time you tried something new, she says? Hmmm. Other than chemo and needle biopsies I can't think of a thing "fun" I have tried in the last 2 years.

If I were your checkbook I would be. . . in your glovebox. Of course I'd be in the car you weren't driving when you needed it.

Oh, new things, I tried to make a homemade card and it looked like a kindergarten had done it, no they probably could have done better.

[lisaschaos]

I love Krispy Kreme but about the only place to get them here is at a convenience store. :( When we lived in Corpus Christi we got a new store and their advertisement and T-shirts all said "Korpus Krispy" cute. :)

[nikki]

"You say everything twice...I mean you repeat everything" Or you mean you know you do this because you're a mother to a three year old....or a wife to a 39 year old. Right?!?

And the last time I tried something new for the first time I got pregnant.....

[Debbie]

I say everything twice...I mean repeat everything, because I have a teenager now.

For something new...I made a Biscornu. http://own-two-hands.livejournal.com/4186.html

Will explain what it is and what it looks like. :)

You know that you are a middle school teacher when you spent more money on wrapping paper, cookie dough, tins of popcorn,little ceramic snowmen and girlscout cookies then you spent on your wardrobe last year.
The new thing tried: I put Add-a-Tech in my gasoline at the filling station. (I thought if I pushed "yes" the machine would stop talking to me...it didn't).

Your checkbook is in the entry hall. I put it there. You're on your own finding the keys.

[Nessa]

I am trying something new right now - Stacy's All Natural Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. Excellent medication for PMS.

[wolfbaby]

you are pulling our leg.. no way do you eat as much junk as you claim

[Future SiL (very near future)]

Never fear. When you get to Seattle we can arrange a emergency dose of Top Pot Doughnuts (much better than KK) for you. Cheers!

[neroli]

If I were your checkbook, I would be within that very same Krispy Kreme, attempting bribery to re-open; or at the very least, establish regular delivery.
Last time I tried something new?
Setting up shop over at my blog.
(Glad I did :)

[RWA]

What? A Krispy Kreme store CLOSED?!?!?!?!?

Who on Earth authorized that?

I like the reflection of the photographer in the glass, by the way.

[Swamp Witch]

LISASCHAOS: Been there done that with the chemo and needle biopsy thing. No fun whatsoever, but thank goodness we have the option and they've come a long way with the research to help make us survivors ! You hang in there, galfriend.

NIKKI: You always mangage to make me laugh. Wonder how many could attest to that LAST time FIRST TIME situation you mentioned?

DEBBIE: Will you please give me instructions on how to comment at your place? And while you're at it, just send me one of those wonderful creations. Thanks.

MIN: Please explain. So now, you're hijacking men at the gas station and trying to put them in your tank? Did it work? Do you like him?
I put a clapper on my keys. Very entertaining to watch me walk all over the place clapping my hands.
OK, so where in the entry hall. This is NOT a scavenger hunt.

NESSA: You might have something here for the PMS thing. I'm going to check to see if we have those here.

WOLFBABY: Here's your leg back. And no, I'm not pulling it. I go on Junk Food Binges. Then I live at the gym for about a month.

FutureSIL: (Very near!) While we're out eating Top Pot Doughnuts, can we go to that Sony Store again? I'm bringing the camera that needs the "charger" that your Future SIL lost. Cheers ! Oh, we have a new sushi place in town. I think you'll love it.

NEROLI: If I'd had my checkbook the day I took those pictures, I would have been tempted to at least buy the leftover doughnuts. Good job on that First New Thing.

RWA: I wondered who would notice that and comment. Did you also notice the Colorado National Monument reflected there?

[Woodlandmama]

I just wrote about trying something new (and the results) on my blog yesterday. You must be psychic.

[Swamp Witch]

WOODLANDMAMA: Did you just called me psychotic?

[her indoors]

doh! the checkbook is in the cauldron!
doughnuts full of fat, so try something new LOL
when did i try something new, well i try to try something new regularlarly sod it OFTEN but it might make a few people blush!!!!!!!!!

[Swamp Witch]

Future SIL: How did you do that? When I clicked on your name to see just exactly where I would end up...I started smelling doughnuts and coffee.

[Swamp Witch]

HER INDOORS: We were posting at the same time. Funny poems at your place today.

[Karmyn R]

We don't have Krispy Kreme's here either - it is better for your waistline.

I tell you - those Middle School teachers have my full sympathy. I wouldn't want to teach all those raging hormones.

[Equoni]

I think we should buy all the middle school teachers a Krispy Kreme...(the Krispy Kreme in Missoula closed earlier this year, so your pictures look familiar)
Look for your checkbook under the passenger seat of the car you were driving last (I lose lots of stuff under there).

[SuseADoodle]

Yeah, we had two Krispie Kreme stores close up -- one at the Mall of America just couldn't outsell the mini donut stand in Camp Snoopy (year 'round State Fair junk food of choice for 'sotans, I hear) ...
Try Dunkin' Donuts. MUCH better.

Now, if I was your checkbook, I would be in the fridge. Don't know why, but that is where I would be.
