Brooklyn Bound! Time to look for a new job

Things I am proud of that I can't put on my Resume
1. That I can almost play "I Will Survive" on the piano
2. My ability to walk in high heels.
3. That I can make a hat out of almost anything by putting it on my head.
4. Knowing over half of the words to Juicy by Biggie.

overcoming my fears

Here is a list of things I was scared of two years ago.
1. Math
2. Dinosaurs
3. Bears
4. Computers

Here is a modified list of reasons why I am no longer scared of each of the above-mentioned.

1. Math- I realized that math just looks scary, the jokes don't help...seven eight nine. wait what? Now that I know the little math tricks I can square root 4 digit numbers in my head. I have also created a foundation-- The Annie North Hennessy Math Program for American Girls (which will be discussed in a future blog post).

2. Dinosaurs.
Velociraptors were actually only the size of turkeys. Best exemplified by this chart I have found online:
Turkeys are not scary! Therefore using my new math skills I can transitive property this. Velociraptor= Dinosaur Velociraptor= Turkey THEREFORE Dinosaur= Turkey Turkey= Not Scary THEREFORE Dinosaur= Not Scary.
I love math.

3. Bears. Once you learn you can call anything a bear they are no longer scary! Plus if you put bear after any word it automatically sounds cute.

Activity:
1. Look around the room and choose an object.
2. Say the object out loud and than say bear.
For examples:
Lamp bear.
Chair bear.
Folder bear.
Phil Bear!!!
Now you try- ___________________ Bear.
4. Computers. Snowbear sent me these great mp3s of their songs but I had no idea how to link it to blog spot. Normally this would be too intimidating for me to do, but it wasn't that hard.
I used to be scared!!! Now I am empowered!
update: ok so at least i tried to put up video. technology is not scary but its difficult!

this is bananas

Dear Haden,

Today you should practice less piano (your quiz is on wednesday) and eat more bananas.

Love,

Annie Potassium Hennessy

A great weekend for Bears

Things I learned last night:
1. Solo scrabble is only fun for 15 minutes and then it is lonely.
2. My boyfriend's favorite meals are alliterative.
3. Carlo Rossi is only good with a lot of ice.

What I am looking forward to this power weekend:
1. Retirement of is it whiskey?
2. Playing destiny's child's hit bills bills bills on the juke box at snugs. again.
3. Pretending alcohol is a liquid time machine and setting the straw dial to 1977 & Snowbear on Saturday night.
4. Going to the german restaurant for Phil's birthday and eating spaetzle, sauebratin and saoekraut while drinking spezial.

Becoming a Jock.

Phil and I run now (well, jog). We are entering a 5k on May 6th in New Paltz.

Why?

1. After the run there is a free hot dog and refreshments party for participants.

2. We have discovered that running is nice, but being seen running is even better.

3. We might get t-shirts. Jocks always have a lot of t-shirts from the events they have participated in. I have a couple from cheerleading, but between the two of us that is all we have, so the 5k will be our first opportunity to build the collection.

Dear Ms. Estefan,

I am sorry I spelt your name incorrectly on my April 8, 2010 post. I am sorry I have been saying you name wrong since I saw you as a guest on the Rosie O'Donnell Show in 1994. I just always thought it was Esteban

Please except my heartfelt apology and let me make it up to you by posting your website on my wildly popular blog:

Gloria Estefan's Website!!!!!!

Tonight I will drink champagne to you and your continued success. Or maybe boxed wine, because I still have some of that left over from the weekend.

My best,

Annie North Hennessy

Today during my lunch break I went to CVS and brought a whole bunch of new makeup.

Next I got back and gave myself a mini makeover using the computer screen as a mirror.

Glamourous?
Yes.

I have also been google imaging ferrets in party hats.

blogger on location

Currently at a snow bear practice. Gloria Estaban?
Yes. Please.

$7.99 wine (the big bottle) ?
Yes please.

Where is corbet canyon located?

Where is Chris Macchia?
um my living room?

Where is the love?

A memory.

So I found a really funny website today comparing pie and cake.

Dear Annie,

That chart with the swiftly declining line after the amount of cake eaten reminds me of that time you ate so much cake then looked really pale and sick and then we went drinking.

Love,

Gracie
