Happy Birthday Lee! Happy birthday Phoenix! Ah, I remember that morning well, timing my refreshes to when I thought ita would be getting up and getting the board online. Still amused that I snaked such a low user number.
Congrats on D's first roadtrip (traintrip?)! How long was the ride?
Noah should be returning from his first roadtrip today. In the meantime, I spent much of yesterday holding Grace - she seemed pretty pleased. And when I came back later to tuck her in, the nurses had already tucked her in with Thing 1.
Thanks for all the b-day wishes!
Love the Grace pictures!
I have a house full of sleeping buffistas, and coffee, and no work today.
YAY
Happy Birthday, Lee!
Happy Birthday, Phoenix Board!
I'm so glad Grace got to spend time with you, Lori. I am just sick enough to make visiting babies a bad idea.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!
As for the board...mostly I remember the labour pains. Closest I'll get to being a mother. I'm okay with that.
We have some Buffistas who were supersmart do-nothings in school, right? Anyone want to chime in with what could have motivated them? If anything?
Addendum: Thing is, I'm supposed to be teaching "workplace readiness skills" in addition to content, so I think it is important that they do even the stuff that they don't find particularly interesting. Because yes, your employer will probably ask you to submit a report at some point.
Oh! And the local B&N has The Book. I mean, of course, but it was nice to see it way out here.
The only thing that ever really motivated me in school was doing better than the smartypants I didn't like in the class, just to show her. So, competition?
In primary school literally nothing could motivate me, except interest in the subject. I even got suspended for lack of work. But then I am very lazy, and not working is much easier than working.

Yep, I was one of those "underachiever" types. Some of the time, anyway.
Math was always my best subject. Usually I enjoyed math, but often I found the homework to be so incredibly boring and tedious that I was often late with it. Like, I remember in 3rd grade having 100 questions along the line of '5 > 3 - T or F?'
By the time I got to high school (and especially college) that was much less of a problem, as by then the homework was interesting enough for me to keep my attention.
Emily- I sort of feel that I was a donothing because I thought it was cooler that way so I am not sure anything would have motivated me, since I got good grades with fairly minimal effort. It might have motivated me if I got unacceptable grades, frankly.
Happy Birthday LEE! And Phoenix Board!
I was sort of congested over the weekend, and now my new student worker is wearing perfume. And it is making me sneezy and making my face itch. I really wish I could figure out a polite way of telling people not to wear scent, because I am miserable.
Also, these random people at the who loaned the theatre a Vespa last year are looking for a Christopher Columbus costume to wear in a parade. Why is it that people think I have costumes coming out of my ass. We do almost exclusively modern shows or stuff with whacked out painting on it for boys that have, like, 30 inch waists, but the production manager is "sure I'll have something". Also, WTF is a Christopher Columbus Costume-- I have no iconic idea in my mind of what would constitute Columbus. Maybe pumpkin pants, armor and a ruff (not that I have any of these things!)??
