I knew a woman whose ferrets would steal cash from your purse when you visited.

We have achieved HD Plasma! The tv, surround sound and PS 3 is installed and everything works.

Owen's watching Dora on the big screen and he's entranced.

Ginger, what does your tagline say?

Victor and Lea have tried that line too.

Ginger, what does your tagline say?

I'm just guessing, but I think it's:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

In Latin.

Or, it's an invocation to raise a wooden lawn rodent demon to grind her enemies.

In Latin.

Just an opinion here, but try one everything you like and a few you think you won't. You might be surprised at what you end up really loving.

This sums up my dating history.

{{{GC and GF}}} I know I keep saying this, but please do know that we are nearby if there's anything you need.

In meme news, today has been tumultuous. Long story. Short version is that our current Head of School got hired as the Interim Head of School for Oprah's South African Leadership School and leaves this week (she's been gracious about it, but given that she didn't get the HoS position here, I can feel the smug from here. Can't blame a little "Suck it, Board of Trustees!" on her part). Our current upper school director is serving as the acting head until the new HoS starts work here in July, but the new HoS is trying to come out every other week from now until then. New HoS is finishing out the year as upper school director of a girls school in Atlanta, so it's pretty chaotic all around.

The capper of my day was when I was sitting peacefully at my desk, writing comments on students' notes while they worked together to review Book 4 of The Odyssey. Normally my room is interactive and student-centered, and I do my best to be right in the middle of the action. Today, when I was doing my best impression of "Old School Teacher at Desk," the new HoS--who is currently here visiting--walks into my room to observe. t headdesk

ferret? I thought he was a fox... ohno. Dora Earworm.

MM's first guess is right.

"Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?" is "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" in Latin. It's in honor of groundhog day.

Cashmere, YAY!

Ginger, BOO! Though, that could be a fun trick to teach him!

ION, I love the Internet. Just in case I haven't said it recently. Just tracked down a chapter from a book that hasn't been printed yet--on the author's website. SO fantastic!
