Whoops

Apparently, it wasn't mountain cedar. It was a virus. Now Evan has it. Whoops. As he so aptly pointed out, allergies aren't contagious. I don't know....mountain cedar seems pretty powerful.

Life lately:
-Went to an Episcopal "Girls' Night Out" with the ladies from my church. Let's just say I was the only "girl" there, and the woman closest to my age was in her forties. But I had a great time drinking mimosa (yum!), eating cheesecake, and talking.

-Need a break from schoool (as usual). Teaching my sophomores how to write a research paper is a headache. But I did teach my favorite Flannery O'Conner story ("Parker's Back") to my juniors. I have to fill out a "letter of intent" for the school by Wednesday. I think I would like to come back, despite my qualms about teaching in general. I need a second year. I need to feel appreciated. And right now I do. The administration has told me they would cut me back to two preparations. That would be so nice.

-Took Annie to the dog park today. She's 30 pounds now! Unbelievable! We see the coolest breeds there. She played (aka was beaten up) by a Rhodesian Ridgeback. We also saw a huge Rotti named Zeus, a Great Pyrannese, two Great Danes, lots of pit bulls and boxers, etc.

Love to my friends who I think read this blog but don't post a response. Ah, how we lurk.
