You guys talk a LOT!! I keep wanting to actually participate in discussions but every time I come back online there are like 100 new posts. How do you all do it?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We ignore the fact that 100 posts have passed.

Burrell, I'm a wimp, too, about haunted houses.
We have found a solution for our nurseless- Grace issue! Noah's old daycare provider (whom we love) will take her for a week! On Sunday, we're going to go by and a do a brief training. Such a relief.
In other news, I have an AP workshop tomorrow. Interesting note, my kids are writing within the mean of the group -- they are not that far off in writing and they handle poetry better than many of the global group of students. But I can't figure out how to get them up and running on multiple choice.
In total random news, i have a groupon for Platine that I have to use.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That's great, Kat! So glad you guys have a solution.

Kat! I got the thermometer! It is awesome! Thanks!
I am so glad the nurse worked out!

YAY Thermometer! It's such a dumb thing to be excited about (on our end), but I love taking temperatures with it. Except when I forget to take the plastic cap off and it reads my temp as 72 degrees and I think it's broken. I'm so glad it arrived.
Thank god for Christine! She was a lifesaver for Noah and she will be one next week for Grace.

I've done that already!
It's more fun when I don't.

Teppy, did you know that Evil Dead the Musical is playing in Newport at the Falcon Theatre?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, thank goodness Kat. I was worrying about you.
And OMGSOTIRED. It's two here, but I'm just now getting wound down from the day's travel. And can I just say that online pizza delivery is an invention of the gods? Because when I'm so tired I'm incoherent and I can't even figure out what toppings I want, let alone work up the nerve to talk to humans, all I have to do is hit a few checkboxes and then someone brings me food. It is awesome.
So it turns out my flight delay was because there was a problem with the ENGINE while the plane was on its way from Puerto Vallarta and they had to make an emergency landing in Denver. Which okay, yes, please get me a functioning engine before you pick me up thankyewverymuch.
In the meantime I have a weird story about airport companions, but will wait until coherency returns. But since I ordered a pizza and ated it, I was able to cancel my morning wakeup call since I won't need to hit the buffet. So I will be sleeping in tomorrow, oh yes I will.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Phew! I'm glad you have a solution, Kat. Hey, I have clothes for you. We should arrange to get together one of these weekends.
