A Monkey Wrench

So one thing may be a concern before the move. The where... B received an email that he was on the shortlist for a position in D.C. : ) Someone else has realized just how smart and what a valuable employee he is.

But the timing is a bit of a throw off. We have already put in our notice for here. And have not yet signed the lease on the one we are interested in. Maybe for a good reason....

We're going ahead with the move here as a lot could have with the DC job. I'll be happy anywhere as long as I am with him.

Good night and many prayers.

The pre-move mode

So we've decided. LOL We seem to be doing that a lot recently. I never knew marriage would be filled with so many .... decisions. This next one is to move.

Not very far though. Still in town (unless B's job decides otherwise) but the house we have now is older and with older, we have old wiring and old plumbing. We have probably spent a half a month's rent on just lightbulbs and draino.

So this weekend will consist of looking at possible places. And maybe packing a little too. Or at least going through stuff we should get rid of.

I did a storytime for 360 people today. Okay so it was four storytimes for 90 people but still my biggest group yet. I love doing storytelling. I like using my whole body to play out a character or series of characters. I still use a book because it is comfortable and I am not yet sure enough to believe that I alone could hold their attention. Most of the kids seemed to enjoy it and the teachers told me what a good job I did.

I just love words. I love cool words. The ones that stump the kids. I told one boy that he was erudite. And gregarious. He seemed shocked that I, an adult, would call him insulting names. I just love the sound of words.

I like being funny. It is a sound that everyone understands... a laugh.

So that's being my week starting with something not so funny (dental) and ending on something funny (storytime). I wonder what next week will bring.

Good day and LOL!

Back but not talking

I have had to take more drugs in the last two days than I think I ever have.


It was all due to my dental surgery. Which went well according to my dentist. I had a somewhat different perspective. They had given me valium to take the night before and the day of. I was supposed to be asleep for the whole procedure. No such luck. They couldn't get the IV in. My hand looks like a pin cushion. They said my veins kept running. Hey if you were being poked, you'd run too.

But they removed one wisdom tooth and did two crown lengthenings. I think I like my original dentist even more. Normally my guy makes sure I am really comfortable since I am always so nervous. So all that is left is the crowns.

After all this I deserve a crown. Queen Eve.

Thus good night and long live the Queen.
