OK, I'm going to say that calling Tina Fey the "Elaine May" of her generation is kind of crap. She's just the best lady-writer?
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Hair dye is now applied. Camisole is now ruined.

I always wear the trashiest of my shirts to dye. Despite care, it even gets on the walls at times. And once, the Devi. Feria french roast is not her shade.

Soon will be making another run....
Ha! I wasn't even watching the Emmys, and yet I was singing this earlier tonight.
We were picking up friends from the Louisville airport, and on the drive back, we passed an "adult entertainment" store named "Love Stuff."
One of our friends started singing "love stuff!" to the tune of "Love Shack" at the same time that I started singing it to the "Love Boat" theme.

Dilemma: my school has no cheerleading sponsor. a handful of my students who are super good kids and extremely active in the school (student government, volleyball team, drill team) want to be cheerleaders. When they found out I was a cheerleader in college they were psyched and want me to coach and sponsor.
I'm lukewarm, but full of catholic guilt about the idea. It would mean I'd have to go to basketball games and the like (no football team yet). But it would make a handful of kids feel like they are having the high school experience they had hoped for and those kids happen to be my students.
Sigh.

I can't imagine you have time for that, Kat.
Also, I'm pretty sure I still have my hair dye t-shirt in the bottom of a drawer, even though I haven't died my hair in years! Possibly that drawer should be culled. Hmmm.

Well, if I did the sponsor thing, I'd make practices before school, which would be fine as our school day doesn't start until 8:30 (BRILLIANT). It's, I think, the hassle of the ordering of stuff like uniforms and the having to sit through bad high school basketball that I'm really enh on.

What you do is get a "Team Parent" to do this stuff for you.
That's how we do it in Little League, so the coaches don't have to do all the administrativa as well as run all the practices.

I'd love for that to work. But at the high school I'm at, I'm afraid it would be more like get a senior girl who wants to be on the team to run it because the parents aren't real engaged in the school.

I hope it can work out with a minimum amount of more work for you, Kat. Cause I can see how it is a good thing for the kids, but there are so many hours in your day, and you've got to watch out for you & yours.
My mom got an awesome americorps guy working for her this year and it's made her life so much better, she can do so much more. He's not planning on being a teacher (child psych) but he'd excel at it. She's trying to tease him into it.
