We do not care that during proctoring PSAT‘s we gave too many breaks because so many of our students with plans were freaking out even when we told that it counts for nothing with college board. We do not care that we let these same students all decompress in the Resource Room no matter if they were “ours” or not-We do not care that we had a stupid Zoom AI training that we ignored & did other work while it played.The program will not be ⬇️

This was pretty good..you read from months back to the day you learn about what happened and why...different but that's ok

Yay! So excited about Helsinki Noir next year! Great authors and programme. Got myself VIP tickets this summer, because I‘m worth it! I looooove lit fests ❤️❤️❤️ https://helsinkinoir.net/en/

Today‘s Prompt: Sweater

It will be a minute before I can wear a sweater in Alabama, but I‘m so excited to wear this one for the first time.

We take college football very seriously in our house. Unfortunately though my husband is a Bama fan. 👎

OMG, Donna! I unwrapped the middle guy in the photo and it brought tears to my eyes. What a fun, joyful box to unwrap and wonder over. Everything melted my stodgy old heart in the best possible way. Thank you so much for thinking of me. What a lovely surprise to brighten my day. @MemoirsForMe

Just wanted to share this one with all the Littens who knew Elisabeth ❤️❤️❤️ For some reason I‘ve been thinking about her today, maybe because the new Kim Stone book has just been published. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/fort-wayne-in/elisabeth-anderson-1229...

Gotta love book mail 😍

I‘ve had a lovely bookish birthday today! We Pretty Pieces of Flesh is from Helen @squirrelbrain - thank you! 😘; Wild Dark Shore, just in time; Neneh Cherry from my mum (completely unprompted!), and something intriguing translated from the Catalan from my SIL, who is on a (successful) mission to find books I‘ve never heard of!

#Chatterday2025 @AllDebooks

I just finished my first cup of coffee and thinking about a second. My usual plans for today, a bit of housework, go to barn for a short ride (too hot and humid for longer) and lunch with my friends.

It‘s nine years now - some on, some off - recently I am more on. 😂

Seems incredible May is almost over! Thanks to everyone who‘ve participated in #ShelfSweeper it has been great seeing all the books that have been read! I‘ve been thinking a lot about Elisabeth too, and how fragile life is #4Elisabeth What should we do in June? I‘ll be reading lots of South African books, but would be happy to do a readathon or buddy read or something. What about you?

Just finished two creative writing teachers‘ books. Taija is the leading teacher in the whole country, and she‘s really good. Haven‘t taken any Pauliina‘s classes. Both books were really charming and good! I think I‘ve gotten back into my reading habit 💪🏽❤️ Also got really inspired to write, write, ✍🏻 #ShelfSweeper #4Elisabeth

My first attempt at the #haikuaday

Was fun to try!

Just finished going through the long list. Only 16 I want to vote for and 25 others to add to my TBR. That‘s all 🤣 #CampLitsy25
