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...

Oh yeah. It would be hilarious and would instantly result in the firing of everyone present. (Yeah, there are still teacher lounges. But we call them "faculty rooms" now, and no one ever uses them. Well, except sometimes at lunch or if there's a copier in there. Actually, a fly on the wall wherever the copiers live would be the best reality show ever. "You want to know the truth about teaching? Ink stains and paper cuts, bay-bee, ink stains and paper cuts.")

I think teacher's lounges stopped being essential when teachers stopped smoking at school. It used to be the place where they could all light up out of sight of the kids. I remember going in a couple times as a kid and they just reeked of nicotine and caffeine.

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

I think that's a certainty. We have a whole day set aside just for photos.
