'Touched'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Susan, you can add me to the list of people who spaced out as a kid, continues to do it as an adult (although not since I've had kids, oddly, as if even my unconscious is too busy now).
And Sox you can add me to the list of those waiting for the nights to dry out. I mean, I guess it's not a big deal, but I'm getting fed up with the extra load of dirty laundry every day.
kind of cool is nice. I'm trying to remember the walk I used to take with my childhood mutt Butch down to the marsh by the junior college where there was a big flat rock I would sit on while he tromped around in the mud down by the water but I keep getting interrupted by thoughts of KILL! KILL! KILL!
and now I'm worried about my Mom. She worries so much about me I think I shouldn't have told her the boys broke the keyboard. Does gmail have a "recall message" function?
Scrappy, J is ADORABLE! You married a funny man.
WHY am I not more organized?!You keep getting distracted by the shiny?
t runs away really fast
Does gmail have a "recall message" function?Alas, no. But moms worry. It's part of the job. Maybe you should just take deep breaths and distract yourself with pictures of pretty men and women?
My kind of cool news is that I found out today that I am going to be the New Faculty Coordinator for my school starting in the 2008-2009 school year! I'm extremely excited as it is both a big step for me professionally and something I'm really going to enjoy.
The only reason it isn't really cool news is that I'm not being offered a stipend OR class reduction for this time-consuming job. The school's budget got slashed (thanks, Bush), and the new HoS sees me as an "apprentice" this coming year under the previous NFC (who is now the MS director), K, rather than the main coordinator. K says that she thinks that's ridiculous and that, as far as she's concerned, I'm the NFC and she is just around for extra support. She also says that I will almost definitely be able to get either a class reduction or a stipend next year if I can be a good little solider for a year and become the full NFC in 2009-2010. It's worth it, but I wish they'd offer me at least something--hell, even a $500 stipend would be a recognition of the fact that this is an important, and difficult, job.
But still...my first official leadership position! Shiny!

hurrah!

an excellent idea.
sadly "James McAvoy naked" does not yield the google search results I desired. Mostly Mr Tumnus.
If you follow an imaginary line from the R in public radio to where it would intersect with an imaginary line drawn from the U in Russell Kirt, that's where me and Butch used to hang out when I needed to be alone with his dogness. Sometimes there was an egret, and there were almost always dragon flies. I don't think I realized it was supposed to be a nature preserve back then.
Congrats Kristin! Where do you teach again, or do you prefer not to say?
You keep getting distracted by the shiny?
Heh. You're not wrong, and yes, Annabel gets the ability to get lost in the turnings of her own brain from both sides.
Actually, I've been doing pretty well this week. Every day since Tuesday I've been spending 15-20 minutes decluttering our living area and enough time in the basement to go through one box. After that, I come up and write three pages on the WIP. And that's all. I stop, even if I've got energy for more. The house is a mess, but every day there's more visible floor and table surface. I now know three boxes the Important Document is not in. And I'm still on pace for my current writing goal, which is to reach p. 400 of the WIP by 6/18.
If I keep this up for another two weeks, I might actually have...good habits. And maybe then I'll start applying them to eating well and exercising.
