Hellooooo!!! Returning from the land of one-act plays! *waves hello* I should be able to take Nov. 23 - I'm off from school that week, so it's fairly laid back. :-) And as far as I know I'm staying in town and not going to see my sister. If that changes I'll let you know, b/c then things would get all skeewampas. (Like that word?) :-)

And I'll look over all of the yummy suggestions later this week, which I also have off (we have a somewhat odd county, vacationally-speaking.) In the past few weeks, though, my students performed the first play of the year, I hosted eight schools from around the state at our school for a one-act play competition, judged another competition, held this year's musical auditions, began two other sets of auditions, and my beloved pet of 11 years passed away under fairly tragic circumstances. So, um, I've been a little out of it. *waves feebly from prone position on the pavement*

But I have the next week off!!! Yay!!!

And in all seriousness, coming home every day and checking into the bar was one of the rituals I clung to. Seriously, folkses here have no idea. But they're awesome, and that's all that was needed. :-)

Skeewampas is a great word! And I'll put you down for the 23rd-- thank you!

(and hon, i hear you on the crazy busy busy-ness. this bar is such a lifesaver. :)
