Thirty zillion years ago, before the dawn of time, my buddy Ms. Cornelius tagged me with a meme. It's called the Seven Meme, but she tagged me so long ago I think it was carved in a stone tablet and called The XII Meme. Go read what she said and enjoy my answers, even if they are months late...

About Me

- Some would call me an Educrat, I choose to add a bit of Disney whimsey to the title--I am an educat. Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.

Oh, man, I totally agree with your last seven impracticals. Except for the one about the Crib Chick since I don't know her. Although, come to think of it, you have great taste in people, so why not?
You'd love her, and since we're being impractical, consider yourself invited!
Man, how much would I love international vacations with you? *And* chitarita, since you do have great taste in people.
A taste you're only 35 percent likely to act on, fortunately for me, I see below. ;o)
I'm a teacher, a blogger, and a knitter too. I relate to many of your wishes and dreams here, especially the "knitting a sweater" one. I've given up all hope for myself and have decided to just knit a really long scarf and then wrap it "toilet-paper-mummy-like" around my upper body. I wish you more success with yours.
I've enjoyed your posts! -Edna
Shmoopie! You're BACK!
I hope that mean that really good things are happening!
Peace!
OMG...this one hit home: English teachers with an extra free period to grade writing
I totally want that!
