That child is adorable. Pictures truly don't do him justice. He is the cutest, sweetest little thing! Niece is, too, but she is a wild woman while he is super mellow. Loves the niecephew!

So I don't know if anybody here watches Gossip Girl, but if you enjoy it, you must be sure to read the latest recap over on TWOP. Jacob absolutely loves the show, which makes for my favorite kind of recap

I just started reading that before I clicked back over here. Glad it has an endorsement! Jacob can irritate me sometimes though.

Cutest.monkey.ever.

First 50?

Wait, where am I? Oh hi! How've you been?

I've spent most of the last two weeks trying to find short-term care for my mom. We moved her in today, and now I have 20 days to find her a permanent residence facility. So much fun. Whee.

I hope all here are prosperous, happy, and healthy. Sympathies to those who need them, attaboys and girls to those who are striving, and yays! to those who have earned them.

Love you all. Except you--who are you, again?

Oh man, I haven't been caught up in Bitches in almost three weeks! New threads are AWESOME.

I hope everyone is doing well, and ~ma to anyone that needs it.

Yay, omnis on the car-paying-off!!!!

Hi, Bitches! Like Beverly and Ailleann, I have not been able to keep up much lately. My first show opens on Monday and I've been a busy beaver with that. Dress rehearsals are Thursday and Friday. I think I have everything, but I still need to get crafty for some props.

I was pulled out of school today for some training and tomorrow we have a half day and the kids are being tested all morning, so I don't teach tomorrow. I hope to get the props all organized tomorrow.

Amidst all the busy with the show, this week is my last week with my 6th graders and next week is my last week with my 7th and 8th graders before I get all new groups. So, I've been trying to plan lessons to make sure we finish everything in time.

It's crazy, but I'm still liking it, so this is a good sign!

I learned something useful in Spanish today!!!!

Yo estoy nevago por Internet!

(I am surfing the Internet)

waits for someone to come point out what I'm still not getting

I just alphabetized about 200 forms in preparation for our school giving a big test tomorrow. It took a while, despite using CS geekery to help

t huge CS geek out of practice I used a variation of Mergesort that hit its smallest grouping at about 15 rather than 2. Since I have hands and eyes, sorting by insertion was plenty efficient at that level. I decided on mergesort because it was easier to implement with actual paper than quicksort, mostly because it's hard to keep track of the recursive stacks when they get small. It worked well. t /huge CS geek out of practice

Top 50!

Dinner:

Drew, there will be chilled tomato-cucumber soup and honey pecan chicken in the fridge for you.
