Well, Casper has a new "boyfriend." Yep, less than a week after O-dawg broke up with her. It's the older brother of Dillo's best friend, who is in Casper's class, and with whom Casper spent an hour hanging out last week at Dillo's soccer practice. I found out about this because we finally had a soccer practice that wasn't in the pouring rain, and the parents got together and gossiped. The woman who works as a wine sales rep brought wine and we had a grand old time. One of the other mothers told me that according to her son, Casper is a hot ticket. I am more amused than appalled, I guess, but really, 4th grade??
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

I ain't gonna lie, I think Casper has more romantic interest than I sustained in my 20s! Whew.

I assume not "jury," but rather...Brazil nuts? My dad uses that phrase, too.
Ha, I only wish my dad would say jury-rig rather than the wildly racist alternative.

Oh, happy birthdays to all I missed! YAY!
ION, I am roaming the internets, drinking caffeinated chai (Such a rebel! I am on enough pain pills to counteract, and it is so delicious and comforting, and my personal butler made it to order -- best take advantage of my pampering!)and best of all, SLACKING WITHOUT GUILT.
"Oh, I should cl-" NOPE!

I've owned my house 4 years as of last night. I moved in the 25th.
(Finally catching up on emails this week. My realtor sends me anniversary emails.)

Okay, if the anniversary date begins 1974, would the 40th anniversary date be 2013? My org's marketing is giving me eyerolls.

Oh no, I meant my dad uses the horribly racist version. As well as the horribly racist name for Brazil nuts. (He also refers to women as "females," which drives me 1000% apeshit. Even moreso than when people refer to women 18 years and older as "girls." [Yes, I'm sure I still use "girls" sometimes, but I try to be really mindful of it.])

msbelle, I'm so happy for you!! Congrats.
Also, Sad I missed a VW sighting.
And, yay for Dylan getting into the school of your choice. Now you don't have to nose punch your neighbor.
In other news, my students report they have a twitter hashtag for me. #FearGullo. I'm not sure I how I feel about this.
