Going back to work yesterday was not as hard as I thought. Most people were just concerned about why I'd been out - they didn't know. A friend from another school had left me flowers, but thought MY mom had died. I emailed her school to tell her differently - I don't want her freaking out if she runs into my mom!

The kids missed me, but this week is district testing so we just hugged and went to work. It was SUCH a long day. They tested until 2:30! It's hard to keep them quiet so long!

Came home and Trish and I went to SARA, where she was our speaker. It was a really good, social meeting, and Trish's presentation on making settings come alive was great. I sold 4 more books.

We stopped at Freddy's Custard on the way home, then watched the debate, which we'd Tivoed. She's leaving this morning, so said she'd get up to say good-bye and so she could make the most of daylight. The sun doesn't rise till around 7:30, though....

It's been so much fun having her. I'm going to miss her! I wished she lived closer.

New Supernatural tonight!

I haven’t blogged since school started and today I got up early and my internet was down!!! GAH. School is good, though, and I’m working hard to not slack off in the other areas – writing and keeping the house up. It’s been raining, though, so I haven’t been able to wear my very cute shoes!!! We've been going out to lunch every day and yesterday my mom was at the same restaurant and she bought me lunch ;)

I’m so tired. Last night was SARA. I got home at 9:30 and was in bed by 10. The meeting was great. My friend Sarah’s husband was the guest speaker, a 15 year police veteran, and he was very engaging. I got at least 3 new ideas ;)

I’m revising Surface, hoping that the ending will come to me…..nothing I come up with feels right.

I watched the last disc of Robin Hood yesterday. I would rate the season as this:

Disc One: Meh
Disc Two: Okay, looking forward to more.
Disc Three: WHERE IS THE LAST DISC? DOES ANY STORE IN SAN ANTONIO HAVE IT? I NEED IT NOW!!!
Disc Four: I cannot believe they did that. I CANNOT believe it. Must speak to someone who has seen it…..which is no one. Also, will watch Season 3 but not with hope.

My new old favorite show is Sex and the City. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a man writes it because the friendships, the absolute loyalty these women have for each other. The break-ups and the relationships and the sickness and the celebrations. It’s idealistic, of course, but something women should strive for in their friendships.

One of my SARA friends is going through a rough time. Lupe, who posts here now and again, recently discovered her son Michael needs a bone marrow transplant. He was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago and went into remission twice, but has had 2 relapses. Thank God, a match has been found, and the surgery is scheduled for September. Please, if you could, say a prayer that everything goes well!
