I know I know I know. I haven't been a good blogger at ALL!

I have to announce a winner or two for something although I need a quick review to remember the who's and what's of it all. And I haven't Grace in Small Things-ed in, like a million years. And I'm sure I have a rant or ten about a thousand things. And my friends keep doing amazing things you need to know about!!! And I've been dating. I will catch up. I WILL!

I've been grading essays both for my own classes and for other classes. Yes, other people's classes. At one of the schools I teach at (bad syntax, so sue me), teachers in other departments have adjunct English professors evaluate their students' essays for grammar, mechanics, and the like. (Although one guy/professor has me blustering through the content as well. Those take a bit longer--grrr. I mean, Happy to do it!) Don't worry--I am paid handsomely. Or at least prettily, especially since I can spot a waylaid comma at a thousand paces.

But in honor of me using the word (not accidentally) "prettily" in the last sentence and also because today an online party is going on at my website,* I give you Mary Kay Cosmetics cakes!
