COLD MORN IN CG AND OTHER JUNK

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED WRITING WITH AN INK PEN , YOU KNOW THE REAL KIND THAT YOU HAVE TOP LOAD INK INTO IT?



I WAS TAUGHT TO WRITE WITH ONE IN CATHOLIC SCHOOL AND THEY TAUGHT PENMANSHIP TOO. ALMOST EVERYONE WHO WENT TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL HAD REALLY NICE PENMANSHIP.



THEY TAUGHT US TO WRITE IN A CALLIGRAPHY STYLE. NOW A DAYS WRITING AND PENMANSHIP HAS GONE TO PERSONAL MOVEMENTS ONLY NO TRAINING EXCEPT LIKE BLOCK LETTERS AND SIMPLE CURVATURE OF LETTERS IN CURSIVE WRITINGS. I AM ALWAYS COMPLIMENTED ON MY WRITING BUT I BLAME THE NUNS FOR IT I FEEL SO LUCKY.



I THINK IF MORE PEOPLE WROTE WITH REAL INK PENS IT WOULD BE THE CASE FOR THEM TOO THEIR WRITING WOULD IMPROVE. EXCEPT FOR MY PSYCHIATRIST FRIEND HE WENT TO A JEWISH SCHOOL AND HE SCRIBBLED WITH A FOUNTAIN PEN. I WAS ALWAYS AMAZED THAT HE HAD A REALLY EXPENSIVE INK PEN AND ALLOWED INMATES TO BORROW IT AT TIMES.



WHEN I GOT MY FIRST MONT BLANC COST $150 ON SALE (FORMERLY 300) I WAS SO EXCITED AND IT DID LIVE UP TO ITS NAME A REALLY EXQUISITE PEN WISH I HAD MORE OF THEM.

BUT NOWADAYS WE SETTLE FOR SHEAFFERS CALLIGRAPHY PENS . WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL THERE WAS AN ESTERBROOK PEN THAT WAS SO WONDERFUL YOU COULD BUY IT AT THE STATIONARY STORE AND IT COST $1.00 BUT IT WAS A SUPER WONDERFUL PEN.

THEY DON'T MAKE THOSE ANYMORE SOB SNIFF. EVERY SMART GIRL I KNEW HAD ONE AND THEY CAME IN COLORS I LIKED THE WHITE ONE THE BEST IT WAS THE MORE ELEGANT LOOKING ONE.



AT ANY RATE I AM GONG TO WRITE SOME LETTERS TO DAY WITH MY MONT BLANC PEN, ALL THE CALLIGRAPHY PENS SEEM TO REFUSE TO WRITE WELL AND THEY LEAK ON YOUR FINGERS. NOT THIS ONE.



ENOUGH STUFF ABOUT PENS THEN.



WHEN I WAS IN 3RD GRADE AT GORMLEY SCHOOL THEY HAD KIDS DIVIDED INTO CLASSES A B AND C

SMART KIDS WENT TO A AVERAGE TO B AND D KIDS WENT TO C



IN 4TH GRADE THEY DECIDED TO MIX US UP AND I FOUND THE C KIDS WERE MEAN FAT BULLIES AND ALWAYS HELD UP READING AND MATH AND IT WAS MOST UNPLEASANT TO BE THERE.

IN 5TH GRAD THEY GAVE UP MIXING THE BRAINS AND WE WENT BACK TO A B AND C CLASSES WHICH WORKED REALLY WELL. I HAD A WONDERFUL JEWISH TEACHER NAMED MRS STEPHENSON AND SHE PUT UP WITH NO NONSENSE ONCE I GIGGLED AND SHE TOLD ME CHILDREN IN HER CLASS BEHAVED AND EXPECTED ME TO BE ONE OF THEM.

I BEHAVED AFTER THAT .

IN 6TH GRADE WE HAD MRS SCHEUER, ANS SHE WAS A VERY CRANKY WOMAN.

I DIDN'T LIKE HER MUCH AND SHE TENDED TO TRY TO EMBARRASS ANYONE WHO SHE HAD IT IN FOR , I WAS ONE OF THOSE. ONE DAY SHE HAD THE CLASS STAND UP ONE ROW AT A TIME AND WHEN I STOOD UP SHE ASKED ME WHY I HAD WORN JEANS. ON FRIDAYS WE ALWAYS HAD GYM CLASS AND USUALLY WORE JEANS I TRIED TO EXPLAIN BUT SHE JUST BERATED ME FOR WEARING JEANS.

IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR FOR ME.



IN JUNIOR HIGH HARRINGTON JR HIGH SCHOOL I WAS MUCH HAPPIER I HAD 6 CLASSES AND 6 TEACHERS IT WAS GREAT. I ALWAYS GOT MY A'S SO TEACHERS WERE KIND TO ME THEY LIKED A STUDENTS AND I WAS USUALLY QUIET. SCHOOL STARTED AT 9:00 AM AND LET OUT AT 4:00 PM WITH AND HOUR FOR LUNCH WE ALL WENT HOME FOR LUNCH. EXCEPT THE KIDS WHOSE MOTHERS WORKED NOT TOO MANY OF THEM DID IN THOSE DAYS.

THOSE KIDS BROUGHT LUNCH OR ATE INA CAFETERIA AND THE FOOD WAS TERRIBLE I TRIED IT ONCE UGHHH OLA!



I WAS HAPPY THAT I GOT TO HAVE LUNCH AT HOME RE FRIED BEANS AND CHILI AND TORTILLAS WERE GOOD. WITH A SALAD OF LETTUCE AND TOMATOES ALL HOME GROWN. EXCEPT WINTER OF COURSE THEN WE HAD TO GO TO SAFEWAY. THE ORANGES WERE THE SIZE OF GRAPEFRUIT AND THE APPLES WERE HUGE TOO . AND DELICIOUS SUCH WONDERFUL FLAVORS NOWADAYS IT IS HARD TO FIND A DELICIOUS APPLE AND ORANGE LIKE THAT.



STORES LIKE NUGGET IN CALIFORNIA HAVE REALLY FINE PRODUCE BUT HERE IN ARIZONA ITS QUITE POOR SOMETIMES AT AJ'S IN CHANDLER THEY HAD SOME GOOD STUFF FOR BIG $.



THAT IS MY HOME FRIES STORY OF MY DAY BU BYE ALL LOVE YOU MUCH!!
