A quick note before Monday

[vivien]

Bleh, only four more days of trying to stay busy when there's nothing to do, and then I will be on vacation for a month. I miss my long summers... wah!

I saw Finding Nemo yesterday and wow, I was just not impressed. I loved the Toy Story movies - thought they were really cute. Monsters Inc was quite frankly a wonderful, wonderful movie. This one was very pretty to look at, and there were definitely some fun moments, but it just didn't seem to click.
Oh well.

I also watched on DVD yesterday The English Patient. Cried and sniffled and swooned as usual. That is such a beautiful movie, both in cinematography, story, and actors.

Annnnd, I actually got some work done on Endings and Beginnings, ch 3 and a Petunia ficlet that's been rolling around my brain. Go me.

Go you indeed! Looking forward to more Endings and Beginnings.

I also saw Finding Nemo this weekend. The whole family went--meaning my parents, sister, husband, and me. I thought it was cute. Loved the turtle--Dude! But other than that, it certainly wasn't Monsters, Inc. or Shrek.

I yearn for a month long vacation.

Okay, a little fangirl moment. Cos you actually read my stories. And even look forward to them.

Hee hee hee

I am very lucky. It is a total trade off - lousy pay and benefits for blessed time away from job. That's why teaching is such a competitive field - who else gets so much time off? I will miss it when I move to the real world of two week vacations, but man, am I hoping to find a situation with better pay and better benfits ;)

Yes, I do read your stories. I enjoyed "Regaining" very much.

And here I am thinking about returning to school to teach.

It's totally worth it. Right now I'm not in the public schools - if I were I wouldn't be kvetching. If you find a good district, then you are treated very well AND you have the glorious vacation days. I've just been at it for ten years, and I'm ready for a change. :)

Ah, I've been playing at being a legal librarian for 10 years now, and looking for a change.

I'm glad to hear such positive feedback.

Yipee!

And I'm so looking forward to that blame ficlet :P Don't worry, my muse is a lazy bitch who sits around all day daydreaming scenes but never wants to write th... oh, wait - no, that's me!
