★ So, I had been worriedly anticipating an evaluation conference with one of my administrators. They're both so lovely, but everyone's been completely stressed out at school recently that I think I had in my head that she was going to sit there and just babble at me about everything I'm not doing as a teacher, and all of the reasons that I suck ( Read more... )

A little under a year ago I finished painting/redecorating the bathroom on the main floor of our house. June or July, I believe [link here for reference]. So, we've been living with the bathroom this way for a while now ( Read more... )

All three of them pounced on me with the news that I'm to write a Harry/Ron/Seamus story for them. A threesome. For all three of them. Um.

We're painting our bedroom this weekend! Yay! Initially, we'd been planning to go with a green, but the green samples just weren't working for us at all, so a couple of weeks ago, I bought several blue samples and we've been living with them. Because it's our bedroom, we don't mind going dark with the color, and we don't really have anything we ( Read more... )

I never know how to share bad news. It always makes me feel embarassed to do it myself because I don't want people to feel like they have to give me love or sympathy or make the appropriate noises and such.
