Woo! Imaginary happy hour. I'm there.
Go K-Bug with the newsmaking activism!
Damn Kristin, I didn't know California had fallen so far down. They used to have such a good reputation for education. Florida has always been bad. We're just all about the standard tests. We approved higher sales tax and they spent bunches on shiny new school buildings, but of course this comes with rip off contractors and bribes and all the usual scandals. Schools pay XXX for pencils when the office store down the street sells them for XX.
DH just got back from the state basketball finals. Some schools had parents driving the players there and paying for their rooms, other schools had buses with cheerleaders and fans all paid for by the school. All schools are not created equal.
DC, I think, ranks 49th. sigh.
I just called Time Warner to ask about cancelling our cable TV and the operator was so nice that I'm having second thoughts. I'm so bad at breakups.
I am currently feeling better, and dinner helped. It was:
- broiled salmon stuffed with lobster on a bed of risotto and scallops with garlic-tarragon berre blanc
- passion fruit ice tea
- vanilla creme brulee with fresh berries
WANT. That sounds absolutely delish.
That color looks terrific on you, Laura!
Vortex, you need a new job that appreciates your fabulousness.
Hugs to all that need or want them.
Yay for callbacks!
connie, I'm glad to hear that Hubby is more comfortable now.
Suzi, you've raised one helluva daughter there. Go K-bug!
Cash, much~ma for the best possible home visit.
I'm so ready to go home.
MFN just exhausted me with her merea.
Nice hair Laura.
That's all I remember from today
K-Bug is pretty awesome.
I think I forgot to type congrats to juliana on the callback! Woo!
Well, not sure what is happening in town now. K-Bug and her team are off to Livermore for their game. I'm still at work with my trainee who leaves this evening. I keep checking the news wire to see if there is anything new.
These cuts are across the state. Is our school district just the first to make plans for dealing with them? The mind boggles that this is an isolated thing.
Today I did....
...not much. Job was boring. Phone calls few. Assignments easy and quickly accomplished.
So, why do I have a splitting headache?
I was just checking into see how vw's meeting went. So glad to hear it went well.
I took Ellie and Frisco on the "train" ( its like an above ground subway) today with a friend andnher daughter. We rode to the end and back, got ice cream, and then played with bubbles. It was really fun.
