Ooooh. Guest bartending. However, I would seriously caution as I've only had to do it behind an actual bar in the event of high bartenders, bartenders who were visiting the facilities or getting limes. My motto is "Liquor Costs Be Damned!" and "I don't do girl drinks!"

I got to talk to my godson today! I haven't been around a lot with the meeting this weekend (found out our director in New Orleans is one of K and Beau's neighbors). We had ginormous thunderstorms and tornado warnings Friday, which made Mr. Jane freak out like a mammal and order me home from my work mingle dinner thingie. I stayed put, because dude would rather be in a sturdy resturaunt with cavelike areas than in my freaking car!!!

Today I was busy washing clothes and picking out things to pack. Sunday is problematic because while it's supposed to be 50 something in SF, it will be around 80 here, and I'm going straight to the crawfish boil.

Right now, Hec will be happy to know I'm watching Slings and Arrows right now.

The bartender of my dreams.

Zenkitty, are you flirting with me?

Some theatrical person should totally snatch up Zenkitty!

Gris, have you seen Slings and Arrows? You need to. Zenkitty too.

We won our game today. We're 4-0. Emmett pitched two innings and struck out 5. He made a great play on a bloop over his head at shortstop, and a perfect tag when we nailed a base stealer. (But the catcher, Liam, made an even cooler play as the passed ball came back hard off the backstop and he barehanded it whirled and threw to shoot down the runner.) We only had 10 players today but everybody contributed. They're having smart at bats. Jordan finally broke out with a huge double, and then nailed it down pitching a perfect last inning.

Thursday we face the Twins - the other undefeated team. We intend to crush their spirit and break their will.

::makes GRRR Face::

At least that's what I told Arlo, their stud 10 y.o. player. (and a close friend of Emmett's from the tournament team) He snickered at me.

Emmett's best friend Jack hit a MONSTROUS home run against us today Three runs in one blow. But we came back, tied it up and then took the lead. Sweet victory!

I'm sure Gloomcookie already has seen this, but seen elsewhere, much hello kitty jewelry.

Yah, the insecurity is part of it. She's insecure, I'm not good at reassurance (I don't tend to be insecure like that, though I have my own issues, so I'm not good at realizing she needs something I'm not doing/saying). And of course, the fact that it makes me a bit nuts doesn't help the insecurity...:) She's all "I wasn't even sure until February that you liked me!" and I'm all "Babe, I've been sleeping with you since December, what part of that wasn't clear?!?!"

See, Gris, I think it freaks me out when someone HAS 95% of their time to give

Wrod. I like to go out and socialize, but only when I want to. I am....kinda selfish. I dunno -- I am very generous and a good friend and everything, but when I don't want to see anyone, I don't want to see ANY. ONE. And I really don't want to explain it -- I just want to not answer the phone and get back tomorrow.

ION, how did I never listen to a podcast or understand how cool they would be as a teaching tool till tonight? Huh?

Gris, have you seen Slings and Arrows?

No. Mayhaps I shall.

I can't get to sleep. Stupid fever. Every time I get to sleep, I wake up within an hour, either shivering or drenched in sweat. Add or subtact layers of pajamas and blankets, get back to sleep, repeat.

I SO am not going to be an effective teacher tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out whether my students will be more mad if I expose them to whatever I've got or if I cancel the review session tomorrow, the day before a test. I think they'd be more mad about the canceled review session.

Um, Hil? You're the teacher. Make the test later this week?

Hec, your quoting of The Crow (not quothing, which is rightly applied to ravens) has me chasing down Ted Hughes' collected works.
