I was only going to have part-time next term, so I was actively seeking another class or two for January. In the past couple of weeks I've been approached for 2 with the dept at the college I'm currently teaching in, been signed onto contract ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/11/20/i-need-to-turn-down-some-work/ But sometimes, it is too funny. So Malcolm has been sick, so Jim and I are trading off a whole lot with sleep. This means that two days this week, in particular, I was teaching while technically drunk, or asleep, or something like that. My comment upon coming home ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/10/16/teaching-is-funny/ It keeps giving me these weird messages at the top of the page, I am getting spam-o-rama for the past month, and all in all it makes my pants sad. I really like blogging - even if I don't do it often enough. And I really love reading ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/10/10/i-think-my-blog-is-having-some-serious-issues/ So I've been a little off the radar lately.  Probably most of you heard about the little 3 year old boy taken from his home in southern BC earlier this month.  That totally f'ed me up.  Seemed to kick my PPD anxiety issues into full-gear. Then, in one weekend, so ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/09/17/strange-things-happening/ (Name that band for bonus cookies) So here I sit on a lovely warm Tuesday morning, and I waffle.  I have five boxes positioned strategically around the house each half filled with STUFF.  I have an old vacuum on the back deck.  I have four bags of books and toys in ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/09/06/two-worlds-collided/ I've been offline pretty much since Tuesday and, you know, it was kind of nice.  I checked email long enough on Thursday night to find out that someone had BEEN TRYING TO REACH ME FOR TWO DAYS!  But, well, sometimes people go away.  And I think it is good to ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/08/28/not-broken-just-went-on-vacation/ So if you're trying to follow me with a reader, I guess it won't work.  I'll keep fiddling around (that is a lie, I have no clue how to fix these things and I'll just keep hoping The Force fixes it) and see what happens. http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/08/20/im-still-kinda-broken-for-blog-readers/ Since we were MIA for episode one, I'll jump in with this week's show. Doesn't Ames still look like he just got punched in the head and is kinda doing the dazed grin all the time. But seems to be a nice guy. I did NOT see that coming ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/08/18/my-analysis-of-bachelor-pad-two-shaddup-i-like-crap-tv/ I'm so glad.  I've really really missed my blog.  And all of you.  While I have many of you on FB, it isn't the same.  I think more and more about the limitations of those silly little status updates and how much MORE I want to say.  Also, with teaching ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/08/15/jim-and-vicki-fixed-my-blog/ Jim is currently somewhere up in the air about halfway to China right now. He'll be gone for four weeks, and I may have already started counting down until he is home.  But at least for the first 1/3rd I hope I'll be okay.  Leone is in town right now, ... http://www.preludesandnocturnes.com/blog/2011/05/21/flying-solo/
