She's great. I just suck at doing this stuff.

I have so much respect for CNAs.

Oh, me, too. There's one who works with my dad, Shirley, who I adore. She's fantastic and will take no guff from my dad, who frequently needs someone who will call bullshit on him.

We interrupt this conversation for Kristin to freak out like a mammal about the fact that JC Penny is using The Breakfast Club as advertising fodder for Back to School.

Sacrilege!

And I know she's French, but I also love me some Colette.

I could teach Colette at the Buffista Academy--in French. Or film. Or French film.

Also, Jess could do home ec and I could be a guest lecturer on the art of clafoutis and how to clean out your closet!

JC Penny is using The Breakfast Club as advertising fodder for Back to School.

This is very wrong.

They've recreated scenes from BC with modern teens in JC Penny outfits as "Don't You (Forget About Me)" plays in the background.

I could do stuff for Buffista Academy. Sciency stuff. Dance stuff. Gay stuff. Heck, I could teach kids how to flirt. That's a more useful skill than anything I learned in high school, honestly...

We went roller skating tonight for my friend C's birthday. It was highly entertaining. Mostly because we got there an hour and a half before they opened, by mistake. But we had a piñata that some of the people had made, of a corset, for her, and we managed to string it up in a tree in the parking lot, and one of the girls happened to have a disassembled Ikea table in her car, so we whacked at it with the table leg....and we played games, and stood around in a big circle (there were about a dozen of us), and generally looked bizarre. It was highly entertaining.

And once inside the roller rink, the people who were HARD CORE were way more entertaining than we could possibly aspire to be. Especially after my friend R got knocked down and split open her chin and may have cracked a rib. Ouch! I just decided I like ice skating better.

But generally it was good times.

At my current level of education and experience, I think my dream job in the Buffista Island School District would be coordinating life enrichment/recreational activities for developmentally disabled children and adults.

Ooooh, better yet, lemme have a go at running a day treatment center for DD adults, and I know just the person here to call in to run the other thing....

Happy Birthday, VW!

Happy Anniversary, Barb!

Felicitations, Barb on the Anniversary of your Marriage! Wishing you and your DH a wonderful day and many happy returns.

VW, many many wishes and Felicitations on the Anniversary of YOur Natal Day! Let there be cake, and confetti, and presents, and may your year be one of marvels and wonders.

JC Penney must be called to account. That's just SO wrong.

(((Drew))) Words just aren't adequate. Thinking of you.

Feh. All the world's asleep and I'm still awake.
