1. My family is INSANE. We moaned our way through two innings of baseball before the called the game on account of rain. But did we pack up and go home? Nooooooooooooo....we packed up, put things in the van, and then THEY went and looked at the CREEK in the RAIN.

Me? I sat in the van and called master_chatnoir, yes I did.

In fact, I called her twice. Once to whine about sitting at a baseball field under an umbrella. In JUNE.*G*

2. If there are twelve hurricanes this year, then one will have my name. Cool. Hopefully she won't be a wicked one. Roy insists that the band name "Katrina and the Waves" is highly insensitive. Apparently he doesn't care that the band came FIRST, duh. *wink*

3. If you do a nice retirement page for a teacher, they will call and thank you personally. :D Thanks again to mara_snh for her artistry! Plus, I got to give a word on where I wanted Jayne placed next year - I didn't grab a form for that this year, totally spaced it, but she wanted to be sure I had some say, and I'm not supposed to, really, beyond that form, lol. Looks like I'll get my way again this year, though, and Bonnie is in agreement with my assessment.

4. If you read a zine that's been created solely for the harsher, harder, more wicked stories, you'll get surprised at how really good some of those fic are. "A View to a Kill" in "DLDV 3", folks. Gahhh. neaslon, I have to send you this one when you're done with the others. A good angsty Hutch story. Gah.

5. If the boy has cash, he will whine about going to Target. Grar.

6. If you bring the checkbook, the other mothers will count on you to pay for the program picture spot and shower you with five-dollar bills to pay their part of it. (Group picture in the dance program, lol.)

7. And most important: If you start a post on Semagic, it's a good thing to actually hit POST ENTRY if you want it to show up on all three journals.
