Happy dance time

I am pretty sure I get to go to Maine in a few weeks! I had mostly convinced myself that I wouldn't be able too, because of the whole Ozzie thing, but now I think I have found a house sitter who will give injections and is available even though I will be gone over the 4th of July.

more tired, but happy dance

Humiliation as classroom management! Brilliant.

My friend Mugga makes students who are late stand on their head while the other kids poke them with rulers. But he's in the UK so he can (it appears) do stuff that would get him sued to tiny bits here.

His class reviews make for hilarious reading, though.

Strega sent me a present.

Lucy is Brenda's large, fierce-looking lapdog. Sweetheart, she is. Looooves the pats and scratches.

More people should send Allyson presents, IMO.

They probably intend to and it takes them a few months to get the package, the envelope, and postage all in the same place at the same time. Because they're incompetent.

Hypothetically.

(Also: yay!)

Agreed!

Ima go update my wishlist in case I end up with fans who will send me offerings, someday.

Yay for Maine and prezzies!

Here's my new $20 bathing suit I mentioned earlier. Notice that if you buy it online it costs -ahem- $72. [link] Does smug dance of bargain-finding.

Oddly, I seem to wear a 12 in bathing suits, although I wear an 8-10 in regular clothes. Don't know what that's about.

things like body length matter a lot -- my sister that used to wear a 6 - wore a 12 bathing suit at the same time I wore 12/14 in colthes and and a 14 in a bathing suit. bathing suits do not fit like regular clothes

Very cute suit, Robin.
