Come on, some of that stuff was interesting!

You'd think it would be a vote of confidence!

My next class teacher was absolutely wonderful and brought in books from her home for me to read when she saw me getting bored and was my favourite prep school teacher evah, so that salved my wounds.

I will always love LaJune Smith in third grade. She figured out I was bored with the math, so started throwing me harder stuff (fractions? Long division? I don't quite recall) on the side, and eventually just had me doing that exclusively, even though the testing wouldn't let me get bumped up to 4th grade for math. HAD to be extra work for her. She also warned my 4th grade teacher, and she kept me up a level off the books, too.

Neat thing is she's still in district, though part time. She's got to be near 80 now. She seemed old to me back then, but was probably just late 40s. She was very 1950s grandmotherly looking. Mom still runs into her, and she always asks about me, which tickles me to death.

When I was in fifth grade another kid and I got to be in our own advanced math thingie. But the next year there was no advanced math and we were with the rest of the class. That bugged the hell out of me - why let me go ahead if only to put me back with everyone else?

Someone offered me free tickets to a taping of SNL tonight...I wonder if they relize it's Thursday.

They do have a Thursday night thing going on, but I thought it was clips -- maybe not?

It's a live show, basically weekend update (the same format, just on Thursday). Last week they had a sketch, too.

There you go, then. Sue, you missed out!

My weekend is so incredibly booked, I have no idea how that happened. No sleeping in for me.

I'm just excited I don't have to "volunteer" for a work thing on Saturday.

All my stuff is voluntary. Just due to scheduling: farmer's market and my long walk& swims and then I have to shop at some point and a bbq at my boss's down in Columbia and laundry and hair dyeing and visit with T and the timing is whacky. AND I really need to bra shop for like, over 3 weeks and just haven't managed to do that. And need to go through my closets to cull and then figure out what I need to get and then shop and then...I need a few more days off.

I just got a letter stating my insurance company will cover breast reduction surgery. Wow.

WOOO. You should talk to Nicole about that.

I CAN HAZ PIECE OF HUBBLE IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW!

TOO COOL

Kirk Cameron is in fact a nutcase.

East coast people, how was Flash Forward?

I got to spend the day trying to find diversity and community involvement information about someone whose idea of community involvement is sending out letters asking for money for Alberto Gonzalez and inviting members of the AFA into his office to discuss how to stop catering to TEH Gays.
