So I went to a PTA conference today and it was actually really good. I was sitting all by my lonesome when our assistant principal came in and sat with me. Then four more people sat with us, all of whom were assistant superintendents in the school district. Yay? There were a couple of really great speakers, one of whom was super inspiring. I ( Read more... )

So yesterday was work, which was work-ish. Then last night I forced b4dawn5 to run errands to get ready for her trip, so we bebopped around the mall and bought her shirts and dresses and were horrified by swimsuits and why no one makes jeans for women over a size 12 anymore, and then we had dinner at Azteca (which is her favorite) and then I took her home ( Read more... )

Despite popular believe, I have not vanished off the face of the earth. Mostly I've just been busy and not doing anything worth posting. Last weekend I did have a lovely day with redheadaholic watching The Bletchley Circle and Babylon 5 (and defeating the Tivo, FUCK YEAH). So that was fun. Unfortunately, the holiday weekend made my schedule off as well as kind ( Read more... )

Today was a busy day. It was kind of compounded by the fact that I'm not feeling 100%, so everything seems even harder than it should be. It was really a fairly typical Thursday - picking up popcorn supplies, making popcorn, selling popcorn, cleaning the popcorn machine, counting the money, DDR, yoga. I just feel kind of sad, I guess. I don't know ( Read more... )

So last year two of the girls in the office had family weddings coming up. I agreed to make cake pops for both weddings because I am a glutton for punishment. I mean, because they seemed genuinely excited about having them, and I could make some extra cash, right ( Read more... )

Currently feeling paralyzed and indecisive. I've actually gotten a lot of stuff done, but I feel like I'm missing things and everything is awful and miserable. I'm sure this is because I told my ARNP that I was feeling much better. It's probably also because Bingo is in three days and I work the next two from 7-6 so it's not like I have a lot of ( Read more... )

We were mightily prepared for the 5th grade parents to descend on our PTA like a swarm of locusts to pick over our volunteering bones. We had numbers on our side (They raised less money last year than they spent in field trips, and none of that even touches what they'd need for camp), as well as all our i's dotted and our t's crossed. We had seats ( Read more... )

So I have not posted anything that is not fic or memes in a while and I know you guys are desperate to know what is going on in my life.

First off rivers_bend now lives near me, so I am relearning how to do friend things after my long absence from the non-online world. b4dawn5 and redheadaholic have helped me a little, but it's still hard to remember to say yes when people ( Read more... )

This has been quite the weekend.

Friday went by quickly because I was teaching someone how to do something and just keeping myself busy with things. I looked up at the clock and it was 4pm and I was pleasantly surprised. I had been alerted to the MCR-related excitement that happened by inlovewithnight, so I was not immediately freaked out and overwhelmed by ( Read more... )
