Bright Light

Yesterday, I was not a Bright Light. In a meeting, I told everyone that our curriculum review would likely be a "miserable disaster."

Some people were shocked by this pronouncement. Later Jackie called me a Black Hole instead of a Bright Light.

I was in a better mood in the evening when we saw Dan's girlfriend Carrie Underwood at the State Fair. That girl has pipes that no one can deny.

And, as a bonus, we also ran into blogger Gina. Her hair really did look great. We took a group photo that Dan will probably post later when I'm getting inspired at a staff meeting.

A Black Hole instead of a Bright Light....wow...that is a big difference! Perhaps, you are just slowly warming up to the big bright glow? Best wishes for the school year. My first two "inspirational meetings" are today and tomorrow. I hope to be a neutral, just kind-of light...transparent and hopefully not volunteering for anything...will see. Love, Mom

I'm really struggling with the Negative Nancy vibe too, lately. Hoping I can snap out of it in time for my MOST FAVORITE SEASON!

So glad I ran into you- though I did about seven takes and a long stare before I was positive it was you. So is the life of Internet BFFs eh?

... You should I'm weeping at my desk over the hair comment.

Good luck today!

THANKS, MOM! I was back to being a Bright Light yesterday except there were a few barriers.

Gina, I knew it was you right away with only a slight hesitation!! But, yes, that's the way it is with internet BFFs. :)

Good luck in first grade,Shef! As a first grade teacher, I think first grade is F.U.N. and I hope you have a great teacher! We had Open House tonight and it was good to know that I already have some great imitations down pat of my new firsties!

Happy FRIDAY! I was quite glum on Wednesday and part of Thursday and then I kind of snapped out of it. Not sure why exactly.

N, I didn't realize it was first grade for you! How great. We got to meet shef's teacher on Wednesday, and she seemed really nice. He's excited.
