Thread Awakener!!! Much better today. It seems the World’s Largest Ball O’Mucous has left the building, and I can breathe again. MUCH work to catch up, so not even any skimming has occurred. Except that I did read up there somewhere about someone providing beer??? ---

I is about to asplode! My building is having an ice cream social and I just had some white chocolate raspberry chunk/peanut butter cup with hot fudge sauce and whipped cream. 😛 The asploding will be followed by a deep sugar coma. ---

There’s an ominous message on the electronic freeway signs this morning: **PREPARE FOR RACE TRAFFIC** They don’t say how. Should I bring a crudite platter? Shave and put on a tie? Wash the car? I suspect it’s a good thing that I work from home on Thursday and Friday. Apparently there’s some sort of festival called Speed Street before the actual races that was described on the radio as “Halloween for Rednecks” :eek: I can’t make this up - they were serious when they say it’s Halloween for Rednecks with all of the giveaways at the street fair. ---

Things went better than expected at court! He will undergo a program that is much like deferred adjutication, but all charges will be dismissed at the end of six months. The military will still take him after that. Yay! ---

That’s fantastic news, **rebo.** I’m so glad. Meh, at work, hatin’ it, donwannas, wanna go home. Cool, wet and rainy. I was going to go to a memorial service for a high ranking enlisted soldier here who died, but decided to stay here. Traffic sucks, so does parking, and they were expecting a huuuuge turnout, so the service will go on forever. I liked the guy and all, but we weren’t really close. I can has weekend now? ---

yesterday we had Early Spring weather - today late Spring, tomorrow will be summer, hopefully in temp only, not humiditity I just discovered Blue Bunny Personals. 1/2 cup of their ice cream flavors in a single serve container. Perfect for the sort of person (like me) who figures once the container is open, I might as well finish the ice cream ---

Home on time today. And I get to brag a little. Last year, the fifth grade at Potomac Elementary School had a pathetic 68% passing rate on their science SOLs (that’s the state standardized test.) That led to the teacher being replaced with my daughter. Yesterday, the fifth graders took their SOLs, and _ **94%** _ passed. Plus 2 of the kids who failed were only 2 questions short of passing. 😃 My baby’s a \*goooooooooood \*teacher! Work wasn’t horrible today, so there’s that. Thursday, I’m getting a futon from a coworker for $50, thereby solving my spare room dilemma. Plus saving me much more that I would have spent at IKEA for a daybed. So yay! That’s all I’ve got. Gonna go clean the spare room to make space for the new furniture. ---

**rosie** , in Va, it means Standards of Learning. But your definition is appropriate at times. ---

We have been extremely lucky to be in a great school system with fantastic teachers, and I see her kids can say the same. Teachers are so underappreciated, and they have one of the most difficult jobs imaginable. ---

Cute LOLs. Yay for son, **Rebo**! Mom called me severely stressed out because my brother got a D in Composition last term. I would have given him more help in his class but he always asks me for stuff at the last minute. :rolleyes: Will that boy ever learn?
