Huh.

Last Friday, right before leaving work, I got a text from a college friend who’s a history teacher at one of the high schools here. She was all, like, “x (age 15) and I were talking today, and she said you’re her idol.”

“Why? What’d I do?”

“She thinks you are beautiful, strong and amazing, and she is right.”

Which was a really nice thing to hear, even though I can’t really do anything with it but nod knowingly the next time i see her, and then she’ll be mortified.

Part of my amazingness. Deal.

Pretty sure this is the greatest thing you’ll see all day. 

Or maybe your entire LIFE.

I am sick with a stupid cold and my throat is on fire but I got awesome new glasses and look, I just made a hat that looks like brains.

Apparently, nobody ran this by the English department.

I saw the envelope this morning, and was all set to make a snarky comment about how, in the 25th dumbest country in the world, my kid did better on standards-based tests than your kid.

Check.

GPOYW, because I never do, and because I look remarkably rested for someone who’s been awake for nineteen hours. Also: headband.
