No, no. They really aren't bad. I'm just very tired and very grouchy and really not fit to hold an orange pen and be constructive.

On the plus side Kristin, you have an orange pen. How cool is that? How cool are you?

t hearts Cindy!

I do have an orange pen. I try not to grade in red. My father used to call it "bleeding all over the students' papers" and I can't quite shake that image.

I sometimes grade in green or purple, too. I suppose that could be demon blood, but I figure the students are less likely to make that leap than the average Buffista.

{{Kristin}} Mornin'.

I admire Kristin's strength of character. I suspect my inability to hold in the snark is one of the things that makes me unfit to be a teacher.

I read an article that said that red is out for grading. Purple is the new red.

I'm home from J's. I didn't sleep as well as I normally do, but I also didn't sleep badly, so all is well. She did quite well under the circumstances and I'm very proud of her...and of course, I told her that this morning, to which she and I both cried.

I have a BIG doctor's appointment this afternoon. I'm actually a bit nervous about it, which is silly. But, still I am. Then, after that, I'm treating myself to a shopping trip to buy the fabric for my living room curtains that I'm going to sew next week. I'm very excited!

Beep! Coffee's ready! Yay! Coffee!

I really can't write "Hallmark", can I.

Bad teacher.

Hmm. I think I'll go with "sweet".

I really can't write "Hallmark", can I.

Only if you mean it in a positive way :)

Hi Kristin! Hugs and kisses to you, just 'cause.

Timelies.

"Hallmark" is making me giggle.

So. Tired. This being awake every single day thing is for the birds.

I'm sorry vw; I guess I'm being a bad teacher by mocking my students, though I swear I do it with love.

Hugs back!
