Thanks to the Goddesses for cold and snowy weather...just when I get tired of the same old routine, nature gives us a one-two punch and delivers a day and a half off of work!
w00t.

All Play and No Work
Makes Delani a happy girl! (to mutate a reference from The Shining)
Seriously, or srsly, I have been playing all weekend, and I'm in a great mood. I had a lovely dinner last night at the local restaurant with Son #1, and woke up refreshed and smiling.
Sigh. When everything's good like this, I feel like the hammer is going to drop just around the corner. My shrink asked me about my extended family last visit, which only means one thing: he wants to know about my support network when something bad happens to me. So now, I've just convinced myself that something bad is going to happen.
What happened to my good mood? Now i'm full of anxiety and worry...but I know it won't last.
School is going GREAT. I have a bunch of really nice and polite and inquisitive children this term. My smallerish study hall is even quiet and productive, unlike last term when i had the huge study hall from HELL. Class size DOES matter -- and I have the research and experience to prove it. But School Size is just as important, and I did a little research during my Master's Degree studies on school size. Smaller is better, unlike sex.
:)
On the state of the world: economic downturns, mid-east wars and police brutality and rioting. WTF is going on? Armageddon? The end of the world in 2012 as predicted? Oh shit it's all too much for my little pea brain to handle. Think I'll go smoke a peace pipe and drink another cup of coffee. People need to just get along, it is so simple.
All I am saying, is give peace a chance.
OK. I'm happy again. In the midst of turmoil and trials, I have found my little corner of the sky where I can relax and be happy. I couldn't ask for more.

Miracles and Fortunes Lost
Hey Hey Hey: miracles DO happen! Zynga fixed the lag on MHA, so we can play now...and I'm gonna have my Phoon reception after all!
But I just found out I didn't win the $100,000,000 lottery: only matched one number. Poop. I had that money spent already, too! Cars for all of my friends...all our remodeling dreams realized on the house...free education for the children...aw poop.
Today is the last day of winter break, and I woke up puking. Seriously, I am allergic to work. I love my job; as previously established, it's just the getting there that sucks. I just told my shrink that I haven't been puking as much lately; and then I heave this morning. I'm supposed to go in today to play catch-up; I'm behind checking papers AS USUAL...
...so here I sit. Clickety clackety on the keyboard instead of dealing with real life. If there were only a way to make THIS my reality....blogging for a damn living. But what would i have to blog about if I weren't working? My pathetic little brain needs the stimulation. There I have that settled -- I need work to provide the drama for my blog.
But for only $1,400 I can publish the first Thresholds...I might just do it if I can talk hubby into forking over the $500 downpayment before February.
Maybe I'll find another miracle and another fortune someday.
