Even though if you read my blog, you have probably already heard from me personally that I'm still alive, I'm announcing officially: I am still alive.
Don't know so much about husband. Actually he's handling his millions of hours of classes quite well. And still does the dishes everyday. Adventurer, Linguist, and Dishwasher. I married well.
I've given up my plans for Halloween costumes this year in lieu of the lack of time I have (ironically due to auditing costume and sewing classes) and also because we came up with a fabulous idea that allows me to use this darling vintage 30s gown that I bought at my favorite-vintage-store-of-all-time, Decades. We will be holding a joint (actually now triple - we found out a friend has a birthday not long after ours) Classic Halloween Monster Birthday Soiree. I hope it's no too much to expect people to arrive dressed as classic monsters like Frankenstein and the Mummy, or at least in formal Classic Hollywood attire.
Also, we have adorable landlords who happen to be our upstairs neighbors and during one of our chats I asked the wife if she liked Halloween (thinking, who doesn't like Halloween?). Well, she's from Italy and answered with a resounding "NO," because apparently they have the day of the dead in Italy but it's just a day off from work and school where everybody goes and puts flowers on family graves. She thinks the American celebration is... well, weird and creepy. Can't argue with that. But I didn't very well want to proceed with an outpouring about how much Indy and I love Halloween because we were both born at that time of year and we love dressing up and something about the macabre just gets us going... So I nodded my head and changed the subject. :(
Back to reading articles about how to not kill children you're trying to teach, or create a nurturing quality classroom, one or the other.
