My funny valentine

Here's to you, dear Lissy - my promise to post this weekend. I expect an email from you shortly giving me a detailed list of job possibilities in the Raleigh area and when you plan to take advantage of them!

So, hi to the rest of you that wandered here and are reading this (I imagine you are few and far between). It's been an interesting month or so since last I posted. Here are the highlights in no particular order:

1. We made new friends! We love Heather and Glenn and are grateful they "get" us. So many people don't.
2. The new green chairs in my den look marvelous with the new pillows. A little bit I feel like a decorator, though I certainly am not.
3. Now I teach a class on Tuesday and Thursday nights. It's...interesting. I'm not the biggest fan of the other instructor but I'm a HUGE fan of my students.
4. My toughest student so far, the one that's driven me to the edge time and again, gave me a yellow rose for Valentine's Day. Sweet, unexpected and a great big pick-me-up.
5. I helped sell Krispy Kremes as a fundraiser for the Staff Association. If I never see another donut in my entire life, it will be too soon.
6. I got a new laptop! The Student Services VP wanted a new one to travel with and needed to unload her "old" one (it's like maybe a year old and it's the swivel-screen tablet kind) so I volunteered. It's pretty and wonderful and I love it.
7. I am now a true blue member of Bag, Borrow or Steal. I think it might change my life.

More to come...but never let it be said that I don't keep my promises!
