We have to do this big presentation in my class. Mine is Tuesday. I was working by myself and then someone came into class the second week and got assigned to be my partner. I don't want a partner!

Okay, so then I have this lady, and she is all high-strung and teaching full time and getting her credential and taking 3 classes. She's a nightmare, honestly! So we've been talking about the project and now we're down to the last few days, right? On Tuesday...

This morning I had parking lot duty at school. I have this duty Mon, Tues, Wed. at 7:45. Ugh, right?

I was standing outside, making sure that the line of cars kept moving along, that the kids were getting inside the gate, that nobody was getting run over in the parking lot, all that good stuff. (We actually had a fender bender the other day, so now I'm all on edge!)

One of my students from last year came over with her younger sister. They were telling me all about...

Even though I feel like I should get a whole day off today, I'm like a shark- I can't stop swimming. I did have a productive day around the house, but there is still more to be done for school. If I'm not grading papers, I'm writing them. I'm supposed to be writing a 2 page reflection paper right now!

I did manage to take a quick break this afternoon and see a movie with my fab alterna-husband. My "real" husband is playing poker tonight, so that frees up my evening...

Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony,
would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me,
would I be in the clear?

We recognize our present
is half as pleasant
as our nostalgia for
the past to be presented,
re-cast and re-invented,
until it's how we meant it.

Testing, 1, 2, 3

Okay, it's a Barenaked Ladies song. I couldn't help it.

Welcome...
