...with all the writing I do at work and for school, I'm pretty much done when it comes to writing on my blog.
Sorry.
Maybe later.

Tips For Aspiring Power-Pointers
Now that I've completed my first PowerPoint presentation, I think I'm ready to divulge some secrets of success in 5 easy steps:
1. Remember your title page. And your "Questions?" page.
2. When they say to take 15 minutes, it's not really a long time. Don't over-prepare.
3. If you do overprepare, and part of your grade is based on time-management, don't talk so super fast to make your way through to end on time.
4. If you do talk super fast, don't suck your spit in and choke. Making breathing noises and having coughing fits do not make for a great presentation.
5. If you do suck your spit in and choke, gratefully accept ANY water given to you, don't ask in your shaky non-voice if it's been opened cuz you don't want germs. Just swig it down. Move on.
My 5 Grateful Fors:
1. My husband! Today we are celebrating 15 years! FIFTEEN! I can't believe I can be with my best friend forever!
2. Training Table who provided dinner last night.
3. My sister who took my daughter out for a night of fun.
4. Garden fresh lettuce.
5. My son who discovered a new favorite animal: the Tasmanian Wolf. Google it.
