The new look? It's the Nap's. Of course!


I want to take a minute to thank the incredible Nap Warden for her help.


Her talent is brilliant, and her friendship is treasured.


When I emailed her that I was feeling a bit down in the dumps, (and when I say down I might mean HORRIBLY DEPRESSED) and I told her that I thought perhaps a make-over would perk me up, she was on it like fruit flies on the turtle cage in my classroom. (It's a science experiment.) And I adore it. She tried to convince me to use the glass woman the first time, and I was finally ready.


In other news, Munchie will choose a winner for the necklace AND Sara's OTHER signed copy of her book tomorrow afternoon.



And after a wild and crazy pajama day here in Smythe, Oregon, I am happy to report that Frank went a whole day without ONE TIME OUT.


I was incredibly distracted by his spiderman pajamas that he ingeniously coupled with a Ninja Turtle cape and some Abominable snowman slippers.



Unfortunately, I left my CAMERA at home.


I almost forgot! BlogHer grabbed my lecture to the Gov. They posted it today! :-)

  1. I love Nap Warden--when I explained that my avatar didn't accurately reflect my true shape she sold me with, "This is the easiest weight you'll ever lose." She was right!

  11. I have so missed your blog! Guess it's going to take some time to get caught up from the now almost two weeks that I've been away!
    I have also missed my own blog that I have terribly neglected.
    I'm so sorry you forgot your camera. That would have been a great memory moment! And Congrats to Frank for no time outs!!!

  14. Yay to Nap Warden for spiffing you up a bit! Hope that gave you the spring boost you needed. Spring is coming some time soon, right?

  15. Yay, Naps! Yay, Vodka! I hope this made you feel a little more shiny and a lot less dull and in the dumps.

    Today was our pajama day. I could get used to wearing lounge pants to work.
