You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm only teaching three classes (a total of only 42 kids!), so I actually have time to observe and give feedback and do a good job. It's exciting.

Hey, you! And yay on the reduced teaching load, even though it sounds as if you're going to be plenty, plenty busy. That's SO exciting.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Nothing? When there is the internet? Or videos? Or the tele? Oooo or video games!!!

Heh. All of the above also being worth spending some time with.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm kind of at that point where I've been wanting to jump in and join the conversation but keep feeling like I'm interrupting since I know my quick skim can't possibly catch all the big things going on in everyone's lives.

That. Also the attempting to skim hundreds of interesting posts to find at the end I am too tired to contribute, and what I was thinking has been said.

Kristin! Sounds like an exciting and challenging year ahead. And maybe less grading? (hopeful)

Today is Bobby's birthday. He stayed the night with a friend and just sent me a text to ask if he can go mudding with friend's family. This is what happens when they are teens. They don't want you to throw parties or take them to that big mouse place. They take off and do stuff with their friends. He starts driving Monday.

His older brother sent me a text at 8am this morning (from his bedroom) asking if he can go with me to the office when I go in today. This means he needs money to go out with his friends tonight.

Thankful that cell phones and texting are among our parenting tools.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, the Sellout Woot is very tempting. I think I really want the touch, though, so I'll wait till I have that money.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Today is Bobby's birthday.

Happy Birthday to Bobby!

He stayed the night with a friend and just sent me a text to ask if he can go mudding with friend's family.

Really? Well, some people juggle geese.

Make sure he gets his picture with the statue of Jayne Cobb.

Why yes, we've been rewatching Firefly, why do you ask?

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

Happy Birthday, Erin!!!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Thanks, Tom! I am taking the WHOLE WEEKEND to be nice to myself. So far, I spent yesterday taking a day off work, playing on the computer, doing girly beauty things, and watched Ghostbusters with Dan. (I got him the Wii Ghostbusters for his bday -- it's pretty cool.)

Today I have: slept late-ish, had Count Chocula (still YUM!), will get haircut at 12:30 and am going to see my friend and her new baby, Jude!!

Sometime tonight, there will be drinking. The weather is freakishly beautuful -- 70's and sunny. It's always ridiculously hot on my bday, but this year, it will be gorgeous.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, Erin! That sounds like a kickass day.

Happy birthday to Bobby too.

Happy Birthday, Erin! Spend the whole year being nice to yourself!
