Lemon Bars at 9 a.m.

You know you have issues when you get incredibly happy when you get an email that there are lemon bars in the faculty lounge.

You know you really have issues when you go back for thirds and your students wonder what the white powder is on your upper lip (it was powdered sugar, people…come on).

You know you really really have issues when you eat it at 9 in the morning and consider it healthy because it has fruit…..hello, lemons!

Okay, last one I promise.  Taking a picture of yourself with the piece of lemon bar…….who does that?

I love your one wish :D And I also think it’s cool that you’d want to spend the day with Voldemort: so would I (I am one of those EMO teens that adored all the ‘dark’ characters when reading Harry Potter).

I can’t believe you eat the vanilla first though! I’d always go for chocolate. Then again, maybe you’re saving the best for last? Strawberry was always left over in our house because nobody liked it…we were all so healthy that even a fruit-containing dessert was going too far (joke :P)

hey girlie-
I once read somewhere that when blogging you should only write stuff that you are okay with ANYONE seeing. Because you never really know who is reading. Kinda creepy, right? This got me thinking about the stuff I (used to) write about work. Just be careful, I’m assuming someone will find out at your school eventually and then it will spread like wildfire!
