Traitor!
Yes, I’ve turned traitor and have gotten myself another blog. See, it all happened because I was researching this talk on blogging. I went to several sites and signed up for blogs so I could see what features were available to members. But, one site in particular lured me in with its gorgeous templates and friendly community. You can visit it at www.homeschoolblogger.com/TeacherPerson. But, do not fear! I will still post my usual drivel and nonsense here at good ol’ Xanga. I think I’ll post homeschool-y and intelligent things at the other site.
I’ve finally posted the graduation speech I gave (and all the other talks as well). You can go directly HERE to read it, or if you want to browse the other talks (boring, I know), you can go HERE for the index.
I finished painting the bathroom today, a pale, minty green. Rachel seems most impressed, giving tours to her friends and occasionally exclaiming, “I can’t believe you painted the bathroom in one day!” It’s not a very big room.
For those of you who want photo CDs of the picnic, I’ve burned some. Now I just need to remember who wanted them. A friendly reminder in my inbox would not be amiss!
I don’t think I actually have any goals for tomorrow, unless you count going to the bookmobile as a goal. I have all the seedlings planted, the bathroom is painted, and…oh, wait…I have to write those talks. Well, I won’t make them a goal for tomorrow! Tomorrow can be a goal-less Friday, a day of waste and boredom! Yipee!
Well, it’s time for some tea and a Louise Rennison book. I said I wouldn’t get any more books from the library or from friends until I had read the 15 by my bed (no exaggeration), but then I got four missionary bios from a friend and picked up seven books I had requested from the library. So, now I have three knee-high stacks by my bed. Delightfully excessive–and free!
Thanks for the tart recipe, oh noble CheesePuff.

Ooh, a picture CD would be great, if you wouldn’t mind sending one! Thankee, and very pretty new xanga background, by the way!
Same here, that is, I’ll take a CD too.
oo! CD to me, please!
Iffen you hand a CD to me, I can put it online if it’s not too big…
And there’s always yousendit.com
Or you can just mail CDs.
What are we supposed to do in order to read your intelligent homeschool-y things? Join you in your perfidy?
Mary! I love that speech! Can I have permission to share that with folks here in South Alabama!? I love the greenhouse analogy…and Miracle Gro or Round-Up!! That’s just great! I will remember that one to use with my boys.
So do you think that the Xangans can’t handle the intelligent stuff?
No, you already know how intelligent I am. I’m just hoping to fool the other list. HA!
I visited your other site, and it’s very cool. I thought I might like to get my own with that . . . whatever the technical term is, I’ll just say “group”. Then I realized I have too much to do online as it is without adding something else, and I’m pretty good and meeting interesting homescoolers through xanga already, so I abandoned that idea. For now, anyway.
As for your being a traitor, I only consider traitors those people who get myspaces instead of xangas. MySpace is taking over the world! I don’t like it. Maybe someday cerain friends (when I first typed that word the r didn’t appear so it looked like “fiends” and in a streak of mischeivousity (that made-up word just popped into my head so I had to use it. Hope it doesn’t disgruntle your teacherly senses
) I almost left it like that, but decided not to) will convert me.
Okay, I found you. Everything is working on your links. I thought that was a good graduation speech. Clear point, not too much to cover in the time allotted, and good analogy.
