Happy Birthday, Suzi!!!

Erin, I'm so sorry to hear about your student. That's rough. Nice to have wheels, again, though.

Snerk. Soy Whip (soy whipped "cream" in a spray canister) has a tutorial on how to use their product:

Er, how sad is it that I found that useful?

HAPPY SUZI DAY!!

Happy birthday Suzi!

::bangs head in Suzi's honor::

Good Morning!!!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I'm still gronkified - need to get dressed and then we are off to see my cousins and have a a "ladies lunch".

Found a fun bar in town last night. They have a bunch of tables and a HUGE bookshelf full of games. We played Fact or Crap last night. Or at least we made up our own rules and used the cards in the box. But they had a TON of fun looking games.

Happy Birthday Suzi!!!! This is going to be your BEST year ever. I know it.

What am I forgetting? I am open to any and all suggestions. I have lived with cats before but a cat has never been my sole responsibility.

Ok, things I don't see on your list: the plastic rings from milk jug caps, an empty box

Re: the empty box -- go here, and click on "Stealth": [link] (they're all funny, but Stealth addresses the box issue).

Gronk. In Phoenix now. Looks like my flights are on time. The crappy thing is I have a center seat because Disney can't seem to book a flight more than two days in advance. At least it is an exit row.

Happy birthday Suzi!

I am in research mode today- trying to find resources that discuss using prior learning experience for college credit that is administered on a statewide level.

Fun, fun!

HAPPY SUZI DAY!

Ginger, Mr. P. makes me giggle. I hope his antics are still a little bit humorous to you, despite the annoying factor.

Poor NoiseDesign. Poor Kristin.

Also, excellent cat advice! I have nothing to add except to say that I want to meet the kitty.

P.S. If I were to move again, I would seriously consider Portland, SF, and Seattle. Not that I'm moving again, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

P.P.S. When we washed Seamus a few weeks ago, he looked almost exactly like this. Hee.

Morning, all. Thanks for all the nice words. I wish there was a way to zap them to the family.

I'm so sorry, Erin. Is there a fund set up for the family?

We have been doing fundraisers like crazy -- I'm so proud of my kids. We had two dress-down days, and kids made tamales and sold them, and our registrar who just opened a Mexican bakery, gave them a shitload of cookies and pan dulce to sell. So the community of coming together to help, which let me say, is one of the reasons I love my job and workplace so much. It's awesome to work at a small school, cause it really truly does feel like a family. Family with gang issues, but family.

Suzi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Trudy, I am so sorry I dropped you last night. I got a long phone call from my folks about Car and then went back, and then they called again, and I...forgot you and went to sleep. I am a bad IMer. But we're in the middle of a poetry unit, and my kid have really been using it to work through their grief issues, which makes it a more potent lesson about the power of writing than I can ever just blah-blah-blah to them about. Sad, but potent. And this ki HATES to write....but he's using it to deal. Which I am loving, in a sad way. You know?
