Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was all excited to leave early and my boss actually did leave early, but then I remembered that mac is brought in to me on Fridays, so I couldn't leave anyway. I did the remainder of my 2008 medical and childcare reimburseables. Looks like I was off childcare by $72, but on medical I under contributed, so I will max that one out.
I'm also really grumpy and don't really know why. I am generally dissatisfied with everything.
My 24 year old devoutly religious half-brother and the parents of one my daughter's schoolmates are arguing about the effectiveness of abstinence-based sex education in comments to my Facebook status.
Gah.
Oh, flea. How fun for you.
What on earth is your status?
"Having sex right now. AIFG!"
Ha. The school board in my town voted last night to replace the current abstinence-only sex ed curriculum with one that actually mentions contraception. I posted my pleasure at this step. The paper said we are the ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT IN GEORGIA that is now (well, will be) teaching about contraception.
I just found out last week that my current school is not allowed to teach contraception. Abstinence only.
I thought that under the Old Regime, you couldn't get federal money and teach anything other than abstinence-only.

Yeah. A bunch of states declined the federal funding rather than teach abstinence-only. There's a new set of guidelines that's supposed to be voted on soon.
Sewing is only cheaper if you are either making couture level clothes or things for small children with $1 a yard fabric. This did n ot used to be the case, but since sewing has become a hobby, the mark-up on fabric is insane. If I ever sewed for mself, because I am pretty good, it would be cheaper than buying a good suit, but oi the time!
I am working at the costume shop tonight even though I planned to have it off because of my debacle of a yesterday. I am so tired and my eyes and sinuses still hurt from crying yesterday. Also, I am being treated to a joint student production of The Who's Tommy, which is REALLY off key (my shop is next to and under auditoriums. I think it is a rehearsal, because they keep starting and stopping.
