I made this little quilt for our old dog, Sebastian. He lives at Don's brother's house and tends to tear up the top of the couch. This one fits right over the top of the couch and he sits up there every day.

This QUEENsize quilt if for me. It is on my bed, and the cats really like it. It is made with all Moda fabrics and is the same pattern at the neutral-toned raffle quilt. These are some of my favorite colors in a quilt!!

Language is a funny thing. Why is there a b in debt? The k is silent in "know" and doesn't even exist in "renowned" - - what's up with that? Does the word "stagnation" means a country full of male deer? No, it means the condition of not developing or moving forward. We all know "repel" means to push back, but what has that to do with rappelling down the side of a tower? Why aren't the two words spelled more like each other? Don't you have to push back with your feet so you don't do a face plant?
Nobody ever used the word "vetted" until Sarah Palin appeared in public. There is a movement in public education called "Critical Friends." That is just a really revolting term for coworkers.
And what about all the little phrases we use every day? The other day I told Briana that she needed to "fish or cut bait" when she was just standing right in the middle of the kitchen in the way. She asked, "Bait needs to be cut?" She didn't get it. Don has these great and somewhat vulgar Army comments that make perfect sense like "Put the turd back in his pocket," and "He's just a polished turd." Gross but extremely accurate! Another one of Don's that I hate is "Why buy the cow if the milk's for free." You can guess the meaning. "That's just whack!"
I'll be posting more on this topic.

What I Feel Like today

I'm sick! My legs are heavy. I have a headache. My throat is scratchy. Light hurts. I'm not hungry. I can only tolerate a little noise from my students. I want to go to bed. I need a nap.

Juxtaposed
Today is Friday. The gov wants teachers to teach without pay to save our schools. Hmmm. Well, last I checked I wasn't the CEO taking billion dollar bonuses. I am only paid for 192 days. I'm not rolling in extra money. I am paid well for my time, but I am not that well paid. Others in my profession cannot even afford to buy a home in this economy. When will they be able to grow wealth in order to survive?
Today needs to be over. I want to go home and pick up B and go buy the birthday presents she needs and then go out to eat at Typhoon and drink some good tea. I want to work on my quilt and listen to the radio and sleep in tomorrow. Don will be gone for the next 4 days - - that is okay! Maybe he won't be activated.
I think I'll take Briana to SVDP in the morning and then drive to JaCiva/s to order Mom's birthday cake. That would be productive.
Then I will take B to her party and maybe I'll go to Barbara's house. She is planning a Mardi Gras party. I am absolutely not in the partying mood, but I probably may need a little distraction.
Mardi Gras is a dumb celebration. I cannot get up the required enthusiasm needed to celebrate something so heathen like. I am such a prude. I actually enjoy the austere days of Lent. I got issues.
