Juliana truly is a badass.

Pete!!!!!

Love the badass picture. And Matilda is adorable, though I don't know how she got so big all of a sudden.

If my kinsey weren't already skewed, it certainly would be now.

That can't be Matilda. She's far too big!

Poor Raq! I think you definitely get a do-over.

Oh, and SFistas, my good friend Alissa is moving up to your neck of the woods next month and is looking for some temporary, cheap short-term housing (she's hoping to rent a spare room from someone) for a month or two while she figures out where she and her BF want to actually live. I believe this short-term rental will just be her--I think her BF isn't going to make the move until she finds a more permanant place. She just got a primo job at Twitter, so she's moving on really short notice. If anyone could help out or knows someone with an extra room who might be willing to let it out briefly, could you drop me an email?

Also, Alissa rocks. You will like her muchly.

All kinds of ~ma for Karl and Tamara.

Awww...I just want to hug you. You just had the Everyteacher day-before-school-starts experience.

Thank you! I'll take the hugs! Today was the first day with the kids and it went swimmingly. I'm bushed, but it was a good day.

My 6th graders are so new and tiny and scared. But, I have about 6 or 7 in one of my 6th periods that are so excited about theatre and the opportunity for performing in the all-school musical. They grilled me about it for several minutes and we don't even have the show picked yet. They're killing me.

Despite the nibbled-by-ducks beginning of my day, I just worked for three hours and put together my entire course expectations and syllabus for my 9th graders. I'm a week ahead of schedule

Take that, duck biters!! Woot!

I forget who recommended Ras Dashen but ThankYouThankYouThankYou!

You are oh so very welcome. My fav. Ethiopian place. The service can be somewhat unpredictable sometimes, but the food is always terrific.

omg. the temp is finally dipping a bit. The fan blowing on me actually feels a bit cool. I may have to put socks back on!

(I think it's the coolest it's been in WEEKS!)

Someone tell me to get to work on Chainsaw killings.

Um... no.

Pete!!!!!

Sorry, Suzi, it was a post'n'run, as is this...

I'm still tinkering away at Gothic Charm School designs. It feels like I have been doing this for months.

Oh, wait. I have.

pete. is there a frag fest again this sunday?

Aw, bless. Thanks.

Am tipsy. Had a good night, but cleaning did not get accomplished. Hanging out and going to many cool (NON-North Beach!) bars did, though. V. fun.

ND, get to work on chainsaw killings.

KT, insent.
