Whitfield County Context

Getting ready for work this morning, several things crossed my mind that I wanted to share. I tried to think of how and who to share it with. Email was too difficult; I didn't have all the right emails in all the right places. Text was too wordy. Facebook too silly.
So to Rebecca, Beth, Ashley, Rhonda, Harvey and anyone else who will:

There are several changes you will appreciate. When adults have experienced other adults in the wee small hours, on a daily basis, for too long, a certain understanding begins to form. I am not bragging!
I do not expect everyone to understand that I started wearing makeup everyday to work, because I don't leave home until 8.  I have about 50 extra bucks each month in my pocket because I don't drive across walnut avenue in the morning. I wake up without an alarm clock.
Of course I have not changed the frequency with which I wash my hair. Yes I still look like a confused English teacher when I am dressed, but that is because I am teaching science. Oh by the way, I am teaching science...Enjoy that!
Today I am wearing my Mustang Band Shirt to school. Yes I am a Red Hawk now. I know that if I were at the Brook today I couldn't wear this to school because you need a SHS shirt on Friday. Add to that the even more confusing notion that at heart I was a Greenwave for 9 years.

So who should I have shared wit? How do you relate such seemingly boring details with out boring people with the context?

How We Do

We've been know to turn the car around to pet a dog. Chris came home once in a panic begging me to jump in the car. We drove all around Renaissance Park looking for a dog that we wanted to pet. Before you judge, it's not just any dog it's a Newfoundland. They are beautiful and expensive and my favorite. Now you can judge.
We don't have one due to space and funding. Last night we discussed how fun it would be to rent one.    I recently revealed my lack of shame in stealing one. If the dog has a tag I'll post a found sign, but collar only....doubtful.
