Whoo-hoo!!

Critical Dialogue went very well!!! At first we couldn't get the 2nd reader on the phone, but once we got past that, it went very well. I felt like I was babbling, and actually would have been more comfortable in person (so I could read body language), but all in all....they were both very excited about the paper and said I was a pioneer. It's a topic that is not heavily researched, and if I cared more about true research, I'd totally do more. As it stands, I'd really like to expand the topics and develop the paper into a publishable book. I should look into Redleaf.....But, I'll probably present my ideas at the ELEA conference, and maybe present at a staff meeting.
My manic mood is coming down....I'm getting hungry (again) and it's almost noon. Darks are in the dryer, recycling needs to go out still....oh! On the Painted House show (I think that's the one...with Debbie Travis), she just took a treadle sewing machine and took out the machine...and turned the box into a vanity, it a mirror on the inside of the lid, and a little chain to keep the lid at the right angle when open. Of course, the ruined it by stripping the original finish and painting it.....but I thought it was a neat idea!
