Is this not correct?

Don't get me started. That type of attitude has killed the love of learning in more people than I care to remember. I may have been a hard grader as a teacher, but I also instilled such a sense of pride in my kids for the grades they earned. Of course, we're talking fourth graders, so...

Yay for this today. I went to DSW and was sad because they had cool boots but they were half a size too small and $50 more on zappos. So then I went to the nordstrom rack where I never find shoes, an looked at clothes, and wandered to shoes and said "aren't those the boots Smonster was going to buy?" And lo and behold, they were. And half the price!

And so now I have a pair in brown and black, and I called Smonster and got her a pair in black. And since I'm in Spokane, gave no idea how I'm getimg all this home? But yay!

Steph! Look what I found of yours!

Steph L: I will never be out of debt, and it is all because I am a cheap up-against-the-shelves textwhore.

Daaaaaamn. I Jossed myself.

Now I can buy more books without guilt! Woot!

Actually, my goal to complete by the end of October is to bundle up a MOUNTAIN of comic books to donate to Heroes 4 Heroes, which is a non-profit that sends comic books, DVDs, CDs, books, magazines, MP3 players, and game systems to soldiers in combat. They accept monetary donations but also donations of the aforementioned entertainment media.

The comics are overrunning the living room and bedroom, and so I gotta cull them. This way I know they'll be going to good "homes."

Then I can buy more! (I *have* been buying TPBs of a handful of titles that I still love -- the first 5-6 TPBs of the Teen Titans reboot, all the Blue Beetle reboot, a few older Robin TPBs. All of which I re-read more often than you might think, usually in bed as I'm falling asleep. They're my comfort reading.)

I loves me some meara. Even more than before, which I didn't think possible.

I'm posting from a show which I'm pretty sure is hipster asshole behavior, so Ima stop. Amy Lavere and Lucero, if case you were curious.

Oof. Wisdom tooth. Ow.

Am I supposed to go to a dentist about this?

It's the wise thing to do.

Damn. I was just at the dentist for a regular cleaning a few weeks ago, and next time I'll be in the same state as my regular dentist is Thanksgiving.

go to the dentist.

f---k mid post earthquake

I guess I need to find a dentist in DC? Or wait until Thanksgiving. I'll see how bothersome it is in the next few days.

it took a couple minutes to show up -- but i still can't do the did you feel it part.
