Things that have perplexed me this week:
- Glen Beck
- intense coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but not the flooding in Pakistan
Sample Chapter - oil spill? what oil spill?
- why I cannot win at Words with Friends
- judging for the Cybils
- educators who don’t know Powerpoint
- school restructuring and what really needs to change to create effective urban high schools
- hair: how short should I cut it this time?
- why daytime temps are still in the 90s
- updating my blog feeds. I’ve got to drop some of the 100+ blogs I subscribe to, but which??
My app of the week: MapQuest
Currently reading: Good Enough by Paula Yoo
Cotton Quilts Edi 
Edi, are you interested in being a Cybils judge? I hope so! I’m coordinating the Middle Grade/Young Adult Nonfiction area, and looking forward to finding out about more great books. When the book nominations start to roll in, I realize how many titles I’ve missed during the year!

I read Good Enough a while back. I loved it.
Those are perplexing things on your list. I can’t wait for the temperature to go down.

Glenn Beck is such a disgrace. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s today here too. It’s been cool lately, so I’m rather looking forward to this last blast of summer. Have a great Sunday! : )

Susan,
Yes!! You sure will be seeing my name floating your way. I submitted an application after I read Doret’s post earlier this morning. I wasn’t going to openly declare my intent, just in case! It sounds like a lot of work but it sounds like good work!
Medeia,
What are you reading now?
Lisa,
What are you cooking now? 🙂 Enjoy your week!

O! Those sound interesting, especially Dragon Chica! I started Life as we Knew It, but I couldn’t finish. Too lat at night! Yes, I’m a chicken with an very active imagination.
