Aren't they supposed to check dental records before declaring someone dead? Strange story.

Back from the park. Dog is happy.

vw, when you make that quilt, you should sew a few rhinestones on, so it glitters!

Ooooo! Good idea!!! I’ll share more about the quilt in a bit…but, first…

I'm not the worst teacher in the world, right?

Um…do I have to bring up the teacher who stored his pee in his closet again? SO not the worst teacher in the world. Not even fucking close. It’s the end of the school year…the kids are hot and cranky and want to be on summer vacation. It’s SO not you. PROMISE.

I'll admit, stories about the teacher who kept jars of urine in his closet actually did make me feel a bit better -- like there's quite a long way to fall before I reach "bad" if that's the standard.

BWAH! I didn’t have to bring it up! You did it for me!

You wanna know why Emily’s not the worst teacher ever? She just went out and bought the coolest toys for her kids to play with tomorrow. AND she bought COOKIES!

Ok…now about my quilt. This month’s country is Mexico, so we’re making the Mexican Cross Quilt Block (kind of like this, but with a little variation: [link] I picked VERY bright colors, ‘cause, well, I’m me. So, I have bright yellow and pink and blue and green and orange and red fabrics. And they’re all just FABULOUS. And, I already showed you my main border fabric, but my inside border fabric is this: [link] And, just in case you missed it, the fabulous outside border fabric is here: [link] I think this is gonna be the bestest quilt EVAH! Oh, and the girls at the shop said I have to bring this one in finished next month, or they’re cutting me off. NO MORE MONTHLY QUILTS! Must get quilting!

I had a very girly evening. I got my hair cut, which I haven't done in ages and ages. I'm thinking of letting it grow out, but I don't know, so while I decide it's growing. It looks very cute, and she got the back not to part, but only a few hours later I have a dead middle part, but I think that's because I kept touching it. Plus I got my upper lip and eyebrows waxed.

Then I went and bought cute new shoes - 1/2 off! And 2 necklaces on clearance. I feel very pretty and all the PMS blah ugly feeling went away. YAY retail therapy.

vw - you'll have to post a picture of the quilt when it's done.

My sister just sent me a picture. She lives in a very wet area of the bayarea. drainage is important. the neighbor to the right cemented their back yard. That seemed very odd, since thes are people that bought houses on land that backup to never-to-be-touched land. now the neighbors to the right did the same thing. except that added a fountain. that looks like a giant flesh colored penis

I can't tell you what Christopher did tonight, because I can't make myself type it out. If he's okay, 19 years from now, on his 25th birthday, I'm walking up to him, saying, "Happy Birthday, son" and popping him square in the nose.

No. He didn't escape or try to. I might, though.

I totally will! Don't you know it!

No. He didn't escape or try to. I might, though.

Uh, oh. This sounds bad. {{{Cindy}}}

Why wait for 25? I think 18 would work.

What did he do? Now I'm going to be picturing all kinds of awful things involving garbage disposals and ceiling fans and lawn mowers.

Go quilting vw, go!

Best wishes for you and Christopher, Cindy. I hope everything turns out ok.

It was freaking bizarre and the act of a three year old, not a six year old, and I just can't deal. I think he's okay. He seems okay. I will only know as time goes by.

I think I have to get off the p.c. for the night (almost wrote "P-C" by mistake there, yep, it's time to shut off the shiny square with the pretty words).

I think he's okay. He seems okay. I will only know as time goes by.

Oh, honey. That bad, huh? {{{Cindy}}}
