There is Fabulousness to Every Friday
Lynette E won Just Between You and Me. Lynette, just shoot me an email (jen at jennybjones dot com) and gimme yo mailing addy. Thanks everyone for playing along. I now have a whole list of “must haves” I must shop for.
So like I mentioned in a comment yesterday, I had to sit down and have a long talk with my flip flops. I had to tell my favorite pair of shoes that they wouldn’t be joining me at work today as we are under a flop and t-shirt ban. It’s hard, guys. I’m not gonna lie. And the flops–they don’t understand. And how do you really explain such. . .shoe racism? Such bias? Such shoe snobbery? I don’t know. I must lean on the Lord for this one. He is a comforter. A cushy comforter like my flip flops. I had to promise the flops that we would hang out all day Saturday. In fact, I’ll even sacrifice running Saturday so I can devote more time to my little friends.
I’m seeing Post Grad this weekend. I hope it’s good. It has my hero Carol Burnett in it! If I knew this, I blocked it out in my giddy excitement. I hope Luke shows up. Rory needs somewhere to drink her coffee and eat her donut (skinny heifer).
Can I just ask that we all ban the Kardashians? Khloe makes me so unbelievably uncomfortable. Sometimes there is a thin line between being BFFs with her mom and just being sick in the head. I am soooo tired of seeing them, hearing them, wondering when the aliens are going to come back for them. I don’t get it!!! Just like I don’t get Lindsay Lohan being a guest judge on Project Runway.
So I just discovered singer Jon McLaughlin. Where have I been? Or where has HE been? (okay, focus on music, not the video. It’s a little awkward–a promo video for the state.)

The song “Indiana” is great too.
So how is school for those of you who had to go back? We are so overpacked in our school. Need more teachers, more classrooms. More flip flops.
Did you hear the uproar over Michelle Obama wearing shorts–on her vacation? Dude, if I worked out like she did, I’d probably wear a thong bikini to state dinners. Can you believe in this world where anything goes, we’re debating the appropriateness of the First Lady in modest shorts? The Huffington Post actually took a pole on whether people believed it was acceptable or not. The only thing I objected to was that in the same pictures, the prez was dressed like he was getting ready to meet with a few dignitaries at Camp David. Sir, you cannot wear pleated khakis and a button down to the Grand Canyon. Clearly you need to watch Project Runway with Lindsay Lohan.
I hope you have a great weekend. The good news about going back to school is that I can begin accumulating a list of funny things my kids say. I hope. These students better get the importance of their role here. I need their humor for my blog and mental well being It’s important they learn to share and express thoughts with one another.
See you Monday!

Ah, the list of funny student sayings…I can’t wait
First of all, how come you’re back to teaching already!?? Students up here in Canada don’t go back until after the September long weekend (Sept.8). Do you teach at a private school? Middle of August is unheard of for starting school up here unless you’re in University and your program starts early.
) Anyways, I would also like to share my sympathies over the loss of flip-flops at work. Tragic! I don’t know where I would be if I couldn’t wear my flops at work. I treasure them also. Hope you have an awesome flip-flop filled weekend!
I live in Canada, so we dont go back ’til September 8th, but our teachers are already there…they go back REALLY early. They have like a month and a half off for summer then they go back. It’s weird.
Why is everyone making such a big deal about Michelle Obama and her wanting to wear some shorts? Pretty much everyone does! We all get hot in the summer and we all want to wear shorts…why can’t she?
I can’t wait to hear what your kids have for us this year! I always laugh so hard!
