Voodoo Mathematics (FBC #21)


Perhaps it was Bush (GW) that coined the term Voodoo Mathematics, but I think Romney has his own Voodoo Mathematics... just saying.  I'm not sure why the term came to my head as I sat down to blog, but I'm not sure why most things pop into my feeble mind.  Today I was asking the students what page they were on since they were supposed to start their historical fiction books this past weekend.  One student said, "I finished page 39 and will be on page 40."  I announced that I appreciated his help with letting me know that 40 followed 39, but that I already possessed some math skills such as basic number sense. 

In fact, I'm all over math skills and number sense.  As I mentioned yesterday, I was irritated about buying the new jeans (not because they were another size smaller, but that it cost money).  To help with my irritation, I bought a new pair of workout tights (super cute) and had a mani/pedi.  I want to help the economy to get President Barack Obama re-elected.  To help support my not needing to buy jeans in smaller sizes, I went over my caloric intake by 347 calories eating M & Ms.  I got this number thing!  You're wondering if I have anything new to say.  Nope!  I merely wanted to post a picture of my new tights (super cute) since I am the only one that sees them in the dark of the morning.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Demolition

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars "Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything." I am going to school with a thank you/apology note in hand. Yesterday I was "caught red handed" making illegal copies on the staff copier. It's not like it's the first time I've done it. It's not like everyone doesn't do it. It's not like I feel sorry about making the copies The problem is that I was caught, completely "busted". I watched the copy police (lovely lady) walk into make a copy and knew she would see the copies I was making and be upset to quite upset. "Shit," I uttered as I was talking to the secretaries watching her walk into the room. According to the copy police I am banned from the staff copier. Maybe I'll try to follow the rules for the next week or two. An ea...
