elionwyr...spent the work day in a FTP training class - which was cool; I'm very glad about this, actually!
Met my beloved at the mall down the street, and we went to get Arielle, take her to judo, and then back here for an overnight visit. (Yes, I'm being a very bad stepmommy because I'm on the computer and not with her - but I really need to get these damned articles finished...*sigh*)
Arielle is 12, and sometimes it's hard to remember that 12 year olds really are just kids. She's very into how kids at school are "annoying"., and how she and her friends threaten violence against each other a lot (in Philly, we call it "talking trash"). I think she forgets that she's one of the lucky popular kids - I mean, she is GORGEOUS and smart and popular! (Check her out - http://www.geocites.com/elionwyr/wedding.html - page down til you see the pics of the blonde kid in the white dress.)
I found myself thinking, "Dear God, don't let her become one of those mean popular kids!" and reminded her that it's really important to continue to treat people the way you'd like to be treated. Which I think she knows...she's generally really nice to others (very evident in her judo classes)...but...ya know...I worry. It's my job.
Anyway..off to finish these damn articles...*yawwwwwwwn*...friggin' Barbie..I don't believe I agreed to this...!!!! Ah well - I get to do some fun stuff next issue. :)
