MARTHA STEWART WILL BE LEADING ARTS AND CRAFTS PROJECTS IN THE MATH LAB, AND WE WILL BE MAKING HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS FOR THE WOMEN OF THE EASTERN STAR HOME!!!

This was even more exciting the first couple of times I read it, because I kept reading "math lab" as "meth lab."

I told my mom to back off, and omg she did! And said she understood and would try to be more supportive! I mean, I think that will last until next month when she opens my credit card statements again, but still! Minute progress.

Yay, SA! If you stay consistent with telling her to back off, she will eventually get it.

Cute kitty!

Hee. Hi, all! (especially Laura, cause it sounds like her old age will be All About The Chronic).

REad the last 100 posts here -- totherwise, I haven't been on since OCtober 6th. End of the quarter + no at-home internet makes Erin very grey indeed. But today is parent-teacher conferences (7:30 am to 8 pm -- yargh) so I can actually TALK on the internet. Craxy.

So how's everybody doing? Anything exciting, etc. that hasn't been on Beep Me or Press? How's the AutumnWeenie?

I've been busy, busy, busy with school and I've been working with my dad on straightening up my finances.

I've come up with my Halloween costume.

I cut about 5 inches off my hair.

I had a steamy one-night stand.

I watched the first 3 episodes of "Oz" (I'd never seen it -- I've also still never seen an episode of "The Sopranos") and liked it very much.

Um....oh!!! I gotta compile the name of people who have sent me books and send 'em pictures and stuff of my library! I have gotten 5 bookshelves donated, a little loveseat, a ratty chair, and a ratty rug, cleaned up all up and Febrezed 'em, and.....I have gotten about 400 books donated! I have a real, albeit economy sized library in my classroom. Hey, in medieval times, it'd be the library of a KING. I'm very excited about it.

Erin has a steamy one night stand, but the books get the exclamation points. I love this place.

Well, books are forever.

Orgasms are over pretty quick.

Not just that, babe. Eastern Star is a Masonic organization for women.

Cindy, the building we're in is a historic landmark--it was an Eastern Star home for women until about six years ago when the remaining 13 ladies sold it to my school. And yes, the building is haunted. Spoooooky...

But I'm still more afraid of Martha Stewart leading arts and crafts in the math lab.

Gronk.

So full of gronk, gronk addicts are jealous.

Mom's biopsy results won't be in until tomorrow at the earliest. She was completely maxed by the time she got home last night.

Today she gets to take the dog to the vet. He started limping yesterday and now he won't put any weight on that leg. We can't see anything causing his discomfort. Even messing with that leg doesn't get him to flinch or fuss, but he won't use it either.

Did I mention gronk? Yeah.

Steamy one nighter and books - Go Erin!!!!!

We've been cleaning out our storage shed, so for the first time in a year I've been able to see my library displayed on shelves, as God intended. I find myself in the garage staring at the bookshelves and whispering "Books!" to myself. Then I bounce and giggle. Hubby dared to use the C word.

Except that I'm sorry David is sick. Better-ma to you.

Thanks, Bev. I took some coma-in-cup last night and today I feel somewhat better. Though whenever I take Nyquil I wake up the next day feeling like my kidneys have been injected with industrial glue.

The Autumnweenie is chunking up nicely, gaining about 28 grams a day.

Oh, I can't take NyQuil. Garg.

Some boys are painting the hallway outside my classroom and the paint smell is giving me a headache. Awesome. Only 10 more hours to go!
