This is awesome. Friday chicken checkin is my favorite thing about the week by a lot.

If you can be funny when you call someone on being an asshole, then everyone around you is on your side.

Supposing you don’t want your dark side encouraged, I’m sorry. But I’m glad you gave them a dressing down, and I’m glad you were funny at it.

The good part – my dog who is a lab mix husky brained love of mine is unusually short hair and I discovered she gets cold in the winter weather. So, I bought her an adorable purple fleece lined jacket – I’ve only had big dogs and am not into fru fru little dogs at all or jackets so this is a new thing. I get a real kick out of her playing with the others in her fashionable wrap!

Another good part is my son is home and we are spending a lot of time together – laughing, talking and just being with each other. I am very grateful for the time.

It’s fun being me!

I only look good in hats that have some sort of brim. If it doesn’t have a brim, I look like a cancer patient according to my boyfriend.

For me, ending this week is a relief, because, although it wasn’t technically my last week of class, it was the last week I would actually stand up and teach some particular coursework.

This has been only the second time I’ve taught a college course, and I’m coming to the conclusion that it’s just not for me, at least teaching in the traditional way (I’ll be developing and teaching an online course soon, and that should be interesting).

Met lots of curious, smart, and enthusiastic students, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world, but ultimately, I’m glad it’s almost over.

Have a fabulous Thanksgiving, all!

The worst part of this week was the 30-minute meltdown last night when I discovered my the frighteningly low bank balance. In a short while, I felt much better (thanks to my GF and the Gal Who Looks Awesome in Hats) and now…

The good part is that I have a short-term plan to boost my financial picture – and some major traction on my long-term on (even if I *did* have to work late last night to do it).

The other good thing this week is that Thanksgiving is just a week away. Yum. Oh, and that I might see Selma this weekend! (squeal!)

:)

Congratulations on your new Hoppy House! I’m so happy that you’ll be noise free and I’m sure the neighbours will soon learn that you don’t always swear loudly in front of children. By the way – totally stealing the personal ad idea for when I move out East next year!

I apologize for the loudmouth men from Texas. (:

I’m so happy to hear that you are happily and (mostly) safely in your new house! Hooray!

For me, the hard stuff this week was sticking to my 30-day trial of being vegan in November. I’m craving cheese and ranch dressing and all sorts of things that would make me feel horrible if I ate them. Also I’ve had a hard time dealing with my fear about our upcoming book launch. We’re trying to make sure that people can get their copies before Christmas, but it’s going to be tight, and if anything goes wrong, what will we do? We’ll have a lot of disappointed preorderers (preordererererers?) and we’ll need to make amends with them. It’s scary committing to a date when circumstances out of my control might schmoo things up.

But I’m listening to that fear, acknowledging it, and carrying on anyway, because the awesomeness of things turning out well totally outweighs the scariness of things turning out poorly.

The good stuff has been living a lovelyly (I hate adjectives that end in -ly) balanced life. Kyeli and I are celebrating our anniversary this weekend. We made ourselves a yummy dinner (Moroccan tagine with apricots and spicy pumpkin soup) and ate it by candlelight. We’re planning on going geocaching and to a ren faire this weekend, but right now Kyeli’s in bed with a sore throat so I hope she feels up for it. If not, we’ll postpone and have a lovely snuggly weekend.

p.s. Roller derby chicks are hot.

Ok – maybe once.

Sounds too familar. Well the moving part anyhow. And btw, let me apologize for those Texas fans. We are not all like that.
