I have nothing interesting to say. Sorry! Just checking in to let you know I’m still out here. When I took a first aid class once, they said you should ask three questions about a person in distress: Is she breathing? Is she bleeding? Is she comfy? Well, I’m okay on the first two…. Not sure about the last. But I can say that not blogging has freed up just enough of a smidgin of time for me to be able to stay caught up in my grading…. SO FAR! LOL 
I tell you what…here is another link to a funny video. Who says I don’t think of my friends…?!
Again, I can’t get this to show up directly into my post (anyone know how to do that if it isn’t YouTube?) But I laughed out loud at this kid. She is too precious in her wily storytelling ways!

Amelie rocks!
Hey writinggb,
Just commenting here on your comment at mysteryoriley – yes, it’s strange when we go back in time and forget just for a moment, what all has transpired. Like those days when I’m in a bookstore and think I should buy a particular book for my mom, or for Owen, and then remember that they’re both gone now. Just freakin’ weird. On occasion, I buy the book anyway, and read it, wondering what she or he would have thought about it. Or in a grocery store, when I think I should pick up their favorite foods. I buy them anyway, and think about them when I cook their favorite meals. Ha! Weird…and comforting.
Take care, my friend,
L.
Glad you’re doing OK and caught up with grading. Almost time for Spring Break, though, right?
