That sounds really awesome, Kat.
I am so behind, I apologize for any congratulations, condolences and birthdays I am missing.
I think I might finally be to the point in this show where everything I have left to do, I actually know how to do! Which is nice. Also, I have been getting a lot of student support, so that is great-- people even volunteered to help sew who can actually sew!
I'd love to do a fundraiser like it at school. But not necessarily bowls. I just don't know what. It was super cool. I should take a picture of the bowl I got.
Both kids are almost down and I'm EXHAUSTED. I had an academic decathlon scrimmage today. My kids didn't rock it at all, but I think they may have done better than last year? I think. Now I have to figure out who is on which team.
wow! that's a lot of bowls. cool idea!
Google's logo today is AWESOME.
It is such a cool idea and really nicely run. I am very impressed. It makes me want to make bowls for next year. My co-worker who made 3 or 4 bowls, bought one of her own.
We had an Empty Bowls event here in September. It really is amazing.
ION, you guys have led me to commit tumblr.
I am hoping it let's me be more active about keeping up with it than LJ and wordpress.
It's owltlet.tumblr.com
If others have tumblrs, please let me know. I alreadly follow the happy things tumblr.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm the product of the first three primes!
And now I'm going to bed.
Man, I'd be all over buying those bowls!
Home from a simply lovely evening out. I like meeting people, or remeeting people I've only barely spoken to before. Who knew? Passed on pt2, cause I'm just tired today.
Funny thing discovered this morning. My friend & neighbor K was talking about the public boarding high school she'd gone to in NC and later taught at. That triggered a memory of my dorm-mate and fellow student, B (fairly uncommon name) who was just a living breathing ray of light and energy and sweetness. I said OH, I know where you are talking about, my blahblahblahold friend B went there, I think. Man, I ought to look her up. K got this funny look on her face and asked me her last name. Took me a moment to come up with, and when I did, K just started laughing. Turns out they co-taught and shared an office for a number of years, and K measures all work collaborations by the standard of theirs. K taught chem, B bio and with a third physics teacher, they were THE science department. Small fucking world.

Kat, we do Empty Bowls with the sixth graders, and it's awesome.
