This is why I rock.

I have introduced my school to NaNo WriMo :-) It's only a "pilot" this year and we only have a handful of kids who are interested in doing it, but it's a start!

I look forward to taking credit for some brilliant, successful authors in a few years' time ;-) I should probably put this on a CV...

So very domestic.

Today I splashed out a little. I bought myself a baking tray which, I'm told, will not warp! It is significantly heavier than the warped one which came with the oven, so I'm inclined to believe it!

I also bought myself a garlic chopper. It's kind of like a teeny mini little Happy Chopper, so it's just the right size for garlic cloves! 

I also now own three cookie cutters! I have a car, a dragonfly, and a T-Rex! Rawr! =D

I'm feeling pretty chuffed about all this.

My cat just tried to reach for something on a side table. I chided him so he pulled his paw back. He then tried with the other paw, just in case it was the left-handed (left-pawed?)ness that I objected to. Honestly, he's as bad as some of my students. This is why I don't want children.

He's cute, though :-)
