Yet more lists
I’ve just been so busy this week getting read to go on-site. Sorry! Now my list:
- I’m consulting on this project and am very proud to be associated with it: DeepWood Road. It’s been a lot of fun and I’m excited to see what happens with it.
- I hear the open records testimony last night was amazing and can’t wait for Marley’s update!! I so hope this pushes HB 7 through! I was also excited to learn that our old agency supports the bill (really — how could they not?).
- Money is still tight here as two checks have now gone into the ether. Freelancing full-time is NOT for sissies. Brett and I are now cheerfully resigned (because the alternative is to be miserably resigned, which we tried but wasn’t really working for us). Noah is learning a valuable lesson about budgeting.
- Speaking of Noah, he’s decided to teach us Hebrew. I’m nervous.
- I’m reading the biography of Assia Wessil (Ted Hughes’s mistress and Sylvia Plath’s rival). Basically it’s making me flashback to my tumultuous teen years except that these people are in their thirties and have children. Ted Hughes was a punk.
- I started work on a non-adoption-related essay last night. Still not sure what I’m going to say (it needs more writing).
And that is all — for now (she types ominously).
if you want any help/moral support with 4, let me know
@chanie:
I’ll remember that! Have any beginner’s Hebrew advice/resource recommendations? Especially given that I’m TERRIBLE with languages (having flunked both Russian and French)!!
BEA testimony is up on Bastardette now. I got a copy of NCFA (apparently submitted) testimony from January y which I think I’ll put up later today and then I need to write about the rather bizarre hearing yesterday. Get your barf bags out.
i guess that depends on what you want to learn. there are probably websites out there.
my daughter has been using great workbooks in school, but those may be more grammer/structure/vocab detail oriented (or maybe that is just the 4th grade ones) and they are definitely geared towards hebrew speaking kids, but i keep joking with her that i should do them too.
