(I lose count and have to look up what number I'm on every time.)
Does anyone really and truly know the Muffin Man?
Love and blueberries,

Life, the Universe, and Everything
Hello.
So, yes...why am I here? I don't know. I did rather a lot of school today, so I'm not sure I know anything. I wish I knew if I knew...know...naught. That's it. I know naught. Or nigh to naught. Nearing night....knew....not...to...knot....
Never mind.
Why am I - oh, yeah. Right.
Last Monday, when I was Portlandia, Mom called and said - ok, long story short: The head personages at Grace called and asked if I wanted to teach two writing classes - one to 3rd-5th graders, one to 6th-8th graders. I said yes.
*gulp*
Only after frantically requesting prayer from Mrs. K., Sheryl, Michelle, Betsy, etc. Only after avoiding thinking about it for a week. Only after figuring that this was the sort of thing I end up doing whether I want to or not. Only after everyone I mentioned it to enthused about how great I would be at it and what an incredible opportunity it is.
Actually, I think one of the things that really influenced me was Mrs. K. saying it was an honor for them to ask me. I realized she was right. What am I, after all, but a punk kid who has taken a couple workshops (eternally grateful for those) and had a rather ridiculous essay published in a local newspaper? (It's been two? three? years and I'm still surprised they even considered it... ;) I feel like I should still be TAKING the class, yet here they are asking me to teach it. What are they THINKING?!?! x) Kidding.
I think.
So I'm in for it now.
Wow. My life is amazing.
True conversation:
"How do you spell emu?"
"E-m-u."
"E-m-u?"
"Yes."
"Emu, like, the bird. E-m-u?"
"Yes. E-m-u."
"Ooohhh, e-m-U! Duh! Never mind."
"........"
So that's the big news in the life of Lady G at the moment. Still haven't decided what we're doing for Christmas. If the fam ends up not going to P-town, I may hitch a ride on a passing dragon and go by myself. So there. ;) Knowing my family, we (read: Dad) might not decide until the last minute and off we go two nights later. So we'll just have to see.
Thanksgiving, though, we're headed to Grandma E.'s. J&K are staying home for the day, so it's us, A&N, Amanda's fam. About nine, I think. First time in a few years that Mom hasn't cooked the dinner. She absolutely put her foot down that she was not going to do it at Jeffrey's house again this year. Hahah. Good for her. :D
Oh. Hold the phone.
Ash is having a conniption because I know nothing about Pokemon.
now I'm drawing shannon as a pokemon trainer XD
LadyG: no idea what that means, but it sounds amusing
Ashez: XD
you know pokemon, don't you?
LadyG: I've heard of it
I know it's that funky yellow dude with spots
Ashez: AUGH
SHE'S NEVER PLAYED OR SEEN IT
AUGH
HOW do you go through life without at least playing one of the games???
LadyG: I've done pretty well so far
Ashez: no
you haven't
you're dying
LadyG: am not
I have musicians ^_^
Ashlez: oh
that's right
LadyG: :D
Ashez: foiled again
LadyG: haHAH!
win.
Yes. I use them as my trump card. It usually works pretty well. . . as you saw. ;)
Anyhow, I think that's about it.
Love and 42,
Lady G

wHOO!
It's finished.
Finally.
My algy 2 book.
I don't want to look at another mathbook for a very long time.
It's finished.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Cause for celebration.
I really want to watch the Music Man, but we don't have it, so I'm contenting myself with listening to the soundtrack and singing along with most of it. I know more of the lyrics than I thought. :D
Love and happiness,
Lady G

Questions
Did you know Christmas is only about five weeks away?
If I put this movie on my list, do you think I would actually get it? x)
Am I a total nut?
Who should I hook the l-p-m-c up with? The c-p-t-s? The d-h-r-o? Or go completely off the charts and make it the e-l-m-g? That would be unusual, would it not?
Shall I leave you alone now?
Love and question marks?
Lady G
