About Me:
At 5'2", I would describe myself as cute and petite.
Others, who think they're funny, have said I'm no bigger
than a bug's toenail. There are plenty of worse things to
be, I'm sure.
As a teacher, I work hard on improving 20 little kiddos'
reading, writing, and math skills, an ever challenging
task. I'm also proud to say my classroom offers daily
enrichment activities that go beyond the scope of the
official curriculum. These would include--but are not
limited to--lessons such as sitting still, walking in a
line, how to stop pretending the pencil is a spaceman and
put your eyes on the teacher, using manners, and generally
not acting like a fool. Summers offer a special opportunity to learn how to slow down in life. I swear people who ask, "Well, don't you get bored in the summer?" must either be jealous or lack imagination.
I love Netflix. I pretend to like running, but I don't think I'll ever make it past a 5K. I stopped subscribing to 4 magazines--couldn't take the pressure to keep up with the reading--and started subscribing to The New Yorker. A weekly may not have been a good idea; I'm already three weeks behind and the pressure's building. I could keep rambling...is anyone still reading this?

Testimonials and Comments for Claire
Weren't we suppossed to go out the other week? Was it my fault? My life has been so disorganized since my move that I don't know what the hell is going on...when i turned 30, I had a 5 bedroom house and an Escalde in the garage....now that I'm 30 and a half, i have no home, no car, and i can't remeber where i put my couch....did something go terribly wrong?
Claire as it is about typos. Typos are
the bane of society. They ruin lives,
terrorize kittens, and destroy crops.
Typos serve no purpose but to make
society miserable. If the Lord were a
good Lord, she wouldn't allow typos.
It's not free will; no one chooses to
make typos (accept ocasionaly)...
Damnit.
show me some of st. louis' hot spots,
and i appreciate that. in other
words, "i like the way clurr do that
right thurr..."
this, but Claire rhymes with flumaire.
Okay? And that's not even a word...
How cool is that?
my descriptors (albeit by accident).
Since I've known this hot little mini-
shot glass, I have said that she's "As
cute as a bug's ear" and "As big as a
minute"...and from that she became no
bigger than a bug's toenail. That is
some funny shit. This woman has the
smallest hands I've ever seen, and she
has one purty smile. I love her more
than life itself.
definitely intelligent, and down-to-
earth. Holla at her when you get the
chance.
day when our sweet little Claire-bear
was nothing more than a grayscale
question mark. She is one hot mama, no?
And it's cute (and petite), but I
swear to God, there's a bug's toenail
in the background just to give the
viewer some perspective.
She's a whiz in the classroom, it's
true and her kids even send their
questions to people in Antarctica!
How excellent is THAT?
