Hee.
At the beginning of one of my classes today, one of my students, out of nowhere, asked me when my birthday was. I said November 13, and she gasped and said, "Wow! Why did you tell us your birthday was coming up? I would have baked you a cake!" And then when I had them all sign in, everybody wrote "Happy Birthday" or something like that on the sign-in sheet. (This is my 2:20 Tuesday class. They're sweet. Crazy, but sweet.)
Sniff, I was just updating my profile and hadn't realized that I still needed to update my location for the Buffista Map. I'm now a Colorado blip. Wheeeeeee.

Phew! The ~ma is strong. Seriously. The facilitation today was inTENSE but could not have gone better.
The woman in charge of student life started out scaring me with her Stepfordian denial that anything was going on there and ended by asking if I'd come back and do a lot more work with the students. So that was nice.
The group was interestingly diverse and mostly smart. Some folks were admirably brave and others just really soaked it in.
The three 'problem' children (all adults) who one finds in every crowd were easily dealt with and gave the group ample opportunity to employ the skills I was teaching them.
All in all, it rocked.
Awww... Hil is a Valentine's Day Baby!!!
Walk right in, it's around the back....
I've been informed that a reporter wants to talk to me about the destruction of my Grand Am.
I have the best of all possible worlds here. Not actually having money or a place in society from a job. But still getting to feel what it's like to lose one. Awesome. I know you're all jealous.
That's some angst, alright. Here's hoping you find some write-y thing soon to fill the void.
Sell~ma for Nicole.
Much Yay! for Erin. Sort of. Good luck with the other interview.
Nora, that sucks about Tom not getting hired. ~ma for keeping spirits up, and for finding the right new job soon.
Bonny, it's good to hear that things went so swimmingly.
Oh dear, y'all are reminding me that I need to get on planning Thanksgiving dinner. Yipes! But I'm tempted to try out Plei's cranberry sauce recipe.
Congrats Erin, I hope the other job sees your fabulosity too.
...just a half a mile from the railroad track...
