Go. Buy. Many. Books.

I'll be out of commission until Sunday--off to a speech and hearing conference to gather continuing education units. Fortunately, it's being held in my town, and a good friend, who is also a speech pathologist, will be attending with me and spending the night here on Friday. A day figuring out the mysteries of language (i.e. imagine us all sitting around diagramming sentences--JUST KIDDING--I wish--I feel that we are the "poor man's linguist"), followed by dinner out, a little wine, and some scrapbooking (hopefully, putting vintage photographs that my grandmother gave me into an album)--it should be good!

Hope everyone has a restful, relaxing weekend--lots of words, books, art, and music, as well as good company and good food (and the occasional cocktail)!

P.S. If you have any sort of connection to education (i.e. tutor, teacher, paraprofessional, therapist, etc), Borders Stores are having their biannual Educator Appreciation Weekend--25% off most everything. Go. Buy. Many. Books.

Cate, I don't think I knew you were a speech therapist... I went to a speech therapist in elementary school for my "lithp". Her name was Miss Katie and I remember her looking like the Charlie's Angel with the dark bobbed hair. Which one was that? Jacqueline Smith? I wonder if she looked at all like her. Anyway, she was nice and I always looked forward to the sessions, and my lisp went away eventually. Hope you have fun at the conference!
