Hey y’all.

First off, EIGHT comments on how cute my hair was? I have to tell you, that completely made my weekend.  Seriously. THANK YOU FOR THE EGO BOOST! We all need that, every once in a while. The validation made the price of getting the hair cut worth it… mostly!

I have spent the past two weeks  in a district writing program. All LA/English teachers are required to take this in the first 3-4 summers of their time in the district, so I just wanted to get it over with.

It was pretty good. I got some good ideas –not TWO WEEKS WORTH of ideas, mind you– that I could probably use here or there.

I also wrote a piece for our “anthology”, as we were sometimes playing the role of writing students. I will share pieces of it on here. It’s fairly long, so I’ll have to break it into parts. It is mostly true to life, BUT give me some lee-way, as I was only 8 or 9 when it happened and I wanted to make the flow work out.
