So Mark (clever, handsome devil that he is) has managed to find this blog by googling some of the SIPs which were in a month's worth of posts I sent him. So, hi, honey. I won't go back and sanitize the silliness, drama, sadness, flippery, and so on, but now blog with perhaps a bit more discretion and a little less gushing.

I've been really phoning it in in terms of work of late, but that's okay, I think, because it's very phone-in-able, although I would say this week is rough given the parents coming in, and that entire report card mess, which involves all sorts of paperwork--it always astounding to me how people just don't get this thing called mail merge.

That aside, it's been a good week as far as the dating and so on are concerned (do you hear that, Mark?--Okay, I'll stop the shout-outs, it's annoying), but it's odd to think hwo quickly the sharp snappiness in kendo can leave you with just a week off. Saturday was also extremely pleasant weather-wise (with eventual facebook photos to follow), but it's sad how the Manhattan girls find ordinary people's ordinary lives so damn "festive."
