water is magic
yo.
i feel like my last posting was ridiculous, although it is still something i want to do. now is the time, my friends. now is the time. but must switch gears.
i am teaching an SAT prep course (verbal) in a few weeks and was trained a few days ago. i never realized this before - but the rumors and research seems to be true. the SAT 100% benefits mid-rich white people, definitely mid-rich - i'm recognizing this after working with the kids at the credit union for the previous 6 months.
do you remember when 'they' would always say, "well, there's more than one right answer, but one is BEST'? that basically means, "you need to talk like we do, so choose which sentence sounds like something we would say." and the topics of the essays, of the reading comprehension - i was blown away as i was sitting in training and piecing it together.
what the hell else has been going on? work (bleh), walking every morning for 45 minutes like a soccer mom, painting every night for at least 30 minutes - but really feel overwhelmed by work - as usual.
im telling you, this 6 bottles of water/day is WORKING. that with a) vitamins, b) daily walking and c) making my own delicious food (why are dried cranberries and nuts so delicious on everything) - man, i have more energy now than ive had since i was 18. do it do it.
this weekend i am going to seaaaaaaaatuuuhhhhhl *pronounced as one would 'paaaaaahhhhhteeeeehh"* to see the only fam-fam i have on the west coast. and i am eagerly anticipating how enormous my two kid cousins are now - and cant wait to see my aunt and uncle. i am sooo looking forward to doing nothing but sitting around with them, reading and getting rained on.
i am dull. yes yes.
oh! for the love of god, please add 'confederacy of dunces' by j.k. toole on list o' books to read. brilliant!! and read the prologue for the love of God read the prologue. thank you to brother and his smartypantsfriends for the rec. (pontifex - i hope youre feeling muchymuch better)
miss you kids. take care of yourselves, and drink plenty of water.

i love confederacy of dunces. when i worked at hte museum i often felt like he did. bc all i did at work was make signs. and i would take forever doing them so i wouldnt have to do the harder things. hahaha. oh wellll. its a grand book. luv it.

Yay, you liked Confederacy! Now you have to read "Prague Tales". OK, this feels weird that I'm giving you book recommendations.
Anyway, yeah, I'm feeling stupendous right now. Thank you, ma'am.
