I so killed Natter.

t hangs head in shame

Does it help if I tell you all that I talked the parent off the ledge, and now she's all sweet and wanting to work together to help her daughter? I'm so friggin' stoked that I went around the house loudly proclaiming myself the Parent Whisperer.

PARENT WHISPERER BABY!! Oh, the irony.

I'm here, Kristin. I'm just posting from my phone, so long, inspired posts with appropriate quotations are a little too much to ask right now.

Billytea! Sean! t tacklehugs

BT, how are wedding plans going? I heard something about a honeymoon hotel issue...?

Sean, how is S. doing? And how are you? No more fever?

Going well, it sounds like everything's in hand. Only seven days until I fly out! There are indeed some honeymoon hotel issues, which seem to be largely convincing people that we would rather a great holiday than a great bargain. But we'll see how it goes.

I'm so excited for you! There will be LOTS of pictures, right?

Nice work, Parent Whisperer. You should have your own show.

I had things to say about the day's Natter, but all I can remember is - I do not like the bread you eat with Ethiopian food, so that kind of ruins the whole thing for me, plus I bit into the hottest pepper on the planet when I was eating Ethiopian the first time, and I still have flashbacks. Matt's description of the bread, though, as a grey sponge, is perfect. Also, I think I've typed this paragraph or one very similar to it on this very board before. At least once, maybe more.

Also, I totally had to look up no homo. I am so un with it anymore. Oh, well.

Oh, and Kathy A - fantastic.

And Allyson's review, also fantastic.

I'm doing quite well, thank you. My fever seems to be gone, though I'm still feeling kind of blah. S is still battling the icky fever, but it hasn't been anywhere near as bad as it was yesterday morning.

Nice work, Parent Whisperer. You should have your own show.

Heh. Oh dear...it's only a matter of time before they have that reality show. Which I will watch and mock and most definitely not be on.

Ha! You're probably right. Although I bet being a fly on the wall in the teachers' lounge (do they still have those?) would be hilarious. Then again, they'd probably have to censor themselves for cameras. Still...
