And That is How the Cookie Crumbles..

O.K., So here’s the story. At Halloween I got the baking bug and had an excellent idea that I should create a ginger bread house for Halloween…a spooky ginger bread house. This house would be built so well I could scrape off all the scary and make it into a traditional Christmas ginger bread house by scraping off all the “scary”.
Anyway, last October was the wettest October on record and with the 11 inches of rain received; my well-built and crisp gingerbread house “slagged”. It crumbled with in a couple of days. You can’t tell from the picture but the back of the house is caving in.

Anyway, I had to rebuild and you can see my new gingerbread house that I built before Christmas and just threw away unceremoniously yesterday. So in your face Brian…this is not gingerbread house amateur hour.
Totally edible and as you can see from the power cord on the left, it does light up.

It's herbivore...
Today was the day the science fair projects are due (the other half of the students have them due tomorrow.) This is the time of year where I don't answer my phone, the students would have better luck catching me on my e-mail. The actually science fair is next week.
After recently contemplating the focus of my blog, I thought I'd offer at least one morsel of teenage wisdom. A couple of year's ago I was introducing the concept of mixtures. One of the terms used to describe a uniform mixture is "homogeneous" when I mentioned that word one kid blurted out..."Oh, yeah....Those are the one that eats only plants!!"

To Stupid to Figure out how this Thing Works.
I have a computer at work. Most people think I'm pretty technically savvy (ie. I can copy and paste with ease and I can put songs on my ipod). We'll see if this makes it up or not.
