Ah Schucks Sue.
Smile. I do sleep. I am just unemployed, so between taking the dog out for
walks, running errands, and keeping the house tidy, I have time to well, do
something I like to do.
I have the technology, and hopefully if all goes well I will be back in
school in May. I have to wait for the interview, I hope, smile. Or if that
fails I am getting a job. I have an exam on Saturday hopefully, smile and
if I pass which shouldn't be too hard, I will finally have my license to
teach in the state of Pennsylvania.
So... I help out Bookshare while I can. And they were books that I wanted
to read, most of them I own. smile. But thanks, smile.

I second that one. I have wondered if Shelley sleepps as well. Maybe she
could be named Volunteer of the Year or whatever. I saw a blurb on the site
earlier about an in-hous volunteer, but I bet she can't hold a candle to our
Shelley.

Do you sleep?
If I read every book you submitted, I'd be losing ground fast!
Good work, but you amaze me.
