Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Mind you, I could do some serious damage at Needless Markup, mostly in shoes, but I'm not trying to appeal to Middle America.

Bring me with you, Barb!

IomemeN: DD stopped by my room today and asked for a recent copy of my resume or vita. When I looked at him weird he realized he hadn't explained himself (such a shock, I know) he told me the school is trying to add Dual Enrollment Humanities back into the curriculum. Last year I asked to have Humanities added back into the curruculum for this year and they acted like I was speaking a foreign language.

He wants to see my resume so "assess" my qualifications to instruct the class. I told him I wanted to teach the class this year and it would be a much better use of my time and talents than 'Intensive English 3'.

If I could get some ~ma that this would happen it would be greatly appreciated. While it wouldn't solve the issues at the school, it would make things slightly more tolerable. (and would give me a small in at the community college)

“Not dead yet!”

Ouch. Of course, I think Cindy McCain spent that much on ONE OUTFIT for the GOP Convention.

Actually, Cindy's infamous outfit (I called it her Wrath of McKhan outfit) topped out at $300K, but I think that was including the jewelry.

ETA-- yep. Three carat earrings est. at 280K and DAMN, but that outfit is completely awful on her.

I wish I could take a picture of the bird flock that just flew over my building. Countless, filled the sky when they went over.

Heh--whenever we get around to an Orlando F2F, we'll definitely have to pop by the NM Outlet off I-4. I am the queen of the sales rack.

What? Y'all didn't think I actually paid retail did you?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I saw this coat the other day, and I like it, but I would never ever ever shop at Abercrombie or show off their logo. Can y'all help me find something similar?

Barb, Thank you! I posted a post in Beep Me, but thank you so very much for the books. It's amazingly generous of you.

Mind you, not probably means making the call from home, where I inevitably feel less secure and teacherly.

* 67 is your friend.

I call home specifically when I know the parents won't be there. Box is checked off and I don't have to talk! My ish is I hate stumbling through a convo half in spanish, half not.

I can't wait! I love the outlet mall offerings in Orlando.

FOr years my family has said my favorite colors were 'On sale', 'Clearance', or 'Reduced'.

Cash, that picture you linked to? Total shout out to Adlai Stevenson fans. My mom would have loved it.

Thanks to HuffPost, I just watched the (August, I think) interview with the Obama family where they went over Michelle's frugal fashion tips and she made fun of the idea of Barack as a style icon because the pants he was wearing were a decade old and he was refusing to replace his worn-out belt.

The contrast is sharp. Also, I feel, kind of hilarious, considering how much better Michelle Obama looks in her H&M than Sarah Palin looks in her NM.
