You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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?

The bone weary is related mostly to work. Class sizes of 50 are wearing on me.

Kat, I can't even imagine. My classes are in the 25-35 range (my total load is 160 students), and that's a lot so I can't even imagine having 50.

Ann, that's a ferret.

When I was a kid, we used a fair amount of Cloverine Salve. It went on random scratches, scrapes, and slivers.

Huh, me too. Something about the rampant sexism and horrible writing keeps turning me off.

perzactly.

I'm having to restrain myself from attacking my Riverside right now. FOCUS, bitca! Getcher work done!

Golf claps!

So Mom is all moved into the managed care facility. I'm not sure how the actual move went, but she going on Weds. It's going to be a big change when it comes to going to Maine to visit. Luckily, I have a number of siblings in the area. I feel very melancholy this week, though.

Oh, man. The kids of some friends got to go through a trick-or-treat line at the White House, and I just watched the video. As you might imagine, line of young kids, half of them just confused, but whatever, there's candy, so yay, got my candy, moving along, thanks dude, this is cool.

One of the four kids I'm looking out for, who is maybe eleven now and has a twin brother, also there... J walks up, takes the candy offered, puts out his right hand, looks the Prez in the eye, and shakes his hand, then does the same with the Fist Lady (which I typoed as the First Lay, har!). Manners and confidence! Good on you, J.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Who's brother's new restaurant is Farmhouse? The elevator was pitching it yesterday!

Maybe I'll go there when I have something to celebrate.

Like now. The official announcement to leadership just went out so I can say it out loud. In the words of my boss:

Congrats---you're a veep

Vice president, baybee.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm trying to work something out regarding my facebook friends from high school. Compared to the friends I made as an adult, this list seems full of...I can't put it in any other term but Jesus Freaks. Seriously--daily devotions, praises to Jesus, thankful for Jesus and God-will-provide-or-at-least-has-a-plan kinds of posts. These are people who partied their way through high school. Drinking, drugs, sex and the usual teenage high jinx. None of them seemed overtly religious in school.

Did I miss an important Jesus Train or something?
