School Days

My entire life is about school days and so today it came this hot steamy morning about that I handled a glue stick for the first time in many many years. And, you know what? It wasn't so easy. I have a much better shot at using crayons and making sure not to go over the lines. What a law abiding child I must have been. or at least until i became a teenager. Sssh. Don't tell

I will be carrying a show tell poster board thing -- you know the kind of thing that students use to show off their science projects -- to a meeting on 6th avenue with an ad agency that my new boss characterizes as creative but a pain in the ass to work with. Who wants that? I have to educate her about the Sallie method of working with suppliers. It should be fun, they should love you and not be a pain in the ass and they have to understand that their relationship will be short and painful.

Two cups of good strong coffee this morning has made me feel WONDERFUL, HAPPY, LOVING, POWERFUL....I see that my tea drinking days are numbered and I will take up coffee as my drug of choice again. This is really great to be flying and to be so brilliant. Ok. I am speeding. ...

Arnie and I saw The most amazing movie this weekend and I want to see it again immediately. Haven't quite figured out what got me so wound up about The Intouchables but I spent my morning trying to get it on Netflix and then finally bought it from Amazon. Of course it's French but besides that it is now one of my obsessions. I may give it to everyone for Christmas. It's taking the place of my annual  OMG you must read this book. Now it's OMG come with me and see this film.

Kate comes home tomorrow from a month at camp and I am thrilled. I was happy to see her go because I had had enough and I know she felt the same way. I think she was happy to go and is happy to come home.  It is the beginning of pasta, pasta, pasta until we go off to Maine for a week. I am knee deep in my shopping, cooking, menu lists....
