And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just heard that J and I will be on Hammer Heads, our most fave HGTV show. They will be here in April and redo our front yard! First we celebrate, then we diet.

Happy March!

Donors Choose is running a March Match Madness campaign. For every donation made through a teacher's personal page, they will match it. I have a grant I'm trying to fund for some math texts (seriously!) for my academic decathlon team/class. Buffistas have always been exceedingly generous; if you have a few dollars to spare, I'd love the support. We are ~$100 away from our goal. Please donate!

My page is www.donorschoose.org/kgullo. Thanks!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's been a while since I had some good news to post here, and while this isn't a permanent job... at least it's a job, and should be interesting for six weeks: I'll be starting training for a US Census enumerator on March 24th, and should be working through April.

On April 24, 2010, I will be participating in the nation's boldest, highest-altitude, and most daring effort to put an end to sexual assault. It's called Operation Freefall: The Two-Mile High Stand Against Sexual Assault®.

I will join thousands of people at drop zones across the country who will take to the sky and jump. Their goal: to raise funds to help survivors throughout the healing process and increase awareness about sexual assault.
