"even if this was what you really feel, it's presumptive to assume that everyone you know feels the same, it upset me to receive that email, and it's not good business if you want to keep your clients."

Yes, this!!

If her mom finds out, she should read the website herself! She'd find considerable comfort there for the I'm-worried-that-my-child-is-too-emo syndrome!

Oh, I know. The problem is the perception that her teacher is promoting gothiness, and I'm not sure if this mom would stop and read or if she would just complain and get me in a lot of hot water.

Also, yay babygoth and yay you for being that teacher we all needed (and were sometimes lucky enough to have) in High School!

t blush Thanks.

ETA: DED AGAIN FROM CUTE.

How many people just googled "stephanie ellie joe puerto rico"?

If anyone finds anything related to us, let me know...

And, because she deserves her own post, Spider-Iris is adorable!

Spider-Iris

My brane wants this to be "Spideritis", but she's way cuter than even a cool-sounding made-up disease.

I bet Jilli would be so overcome by the cute that the spider costume won't matter.

Oh, I agree. I just think a warning would be nice so she can be prepared.

Spider kid! Spider kid!

Does whatever a spiderkid does!

Does she know how to spin a web?

'Course she doesn't, she's a kid!

Look out! Here comes the Spider Kid!

Iris-Spider has chubby-cheeks!

The bank teller didn't want to cut a check for me because my DH wasn't there and it was coming out of our joint account. The teller's explaination was, "I have to know that your husband knows you're taking the money." Er. No you don't. It reminded me a lot of when my sister was nearly barred from traveling to Canada with her nursing infant because the baby's father wasn't travelling also and that might mean that she was abducting the child.

Needless to say, I got my big check and the teller got an earful.

Now I have to pack up chairs, pumpkins, candy, camera, etc. to take over to the house after closing.

I am wearing horns and red boa and this t-shirt : [link] Even funnier, my assistant is also dressed as a devil, although she is much cooler--she's got horns and a blue dress.

Neither of us are as fabulous as Iris, though!
