Now tagless for your comfort.

and your husband.

Heh. We have a "Good-bye Agreement" for him. Bless him for being so supportive of me doing it. He knows how much pain it is carting these puppies around.

I just massacred a plate of bacon and sausage and hash browns and scrambled eggs. It was a sodium and cholesterol bomb. I'm not going to be able to eat anything but fruit & veg for the rest of the day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sara, that's awesome!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I had the same concern, Dana, which is why I dropped it. I am actually impressed that Aims has been handling it so well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just had a tv-dinner-ish lunch: Tortellini Roman. It wasn't very good. I wonder if there's any frozen dinner thing that tastes good nuked....

I like the Safeway Select meals. The orange chicken especially tastes surprisingly good. The Eating Right meals aren't bad either.

When I was in high school, Sister Mary Hope had "automatic F errors." First day of class, she laid out what they were and we were warned that if we committed any of these unpardonable sins, she stopped reading and we would receive an F. End of story.

Of course, now I can't remember what any of these unpardonable sins were, except for spelling "a lot" as "alot."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

for two years she has tried subtle and if there is one that she has learned about her students, it's that they don't get subtle.

Dear me, no. NO they don't. Students in general and middle school students in particular need everything spelled out directly. You cannot assume they know anything and you cannot do subtle.

And, if they're 6th grade or younger, they don't get sarcasm. Which is the main reason I can't teach kids that young. I need my sarcasm and I need kids who understand it!

For those interested in community statistics by state, USAToday has a fascinating graph reflecting census information and shifts.

According to this, Utah has one of the highest median incomes in the country, which I take to mean as "We have an assload of millionaires in this state."
