Yesterday it was rumored I'd been p0rnnapped:
I've unintentionally caused my friends @melissalion and @jarvitron to worry about me (secretly I am veryvery pleased) but the truth is, I was asleep.
ASLEEP. Not soundly, not deeply, but asleep nonetheless by 7pm last night. That's earlier than most really old people, and I'm only on the cusp of old. I have an excuse: I was exhausted by possibilities and a good, old-fashioned "Ah HA!" moment.
I had had a good, productive work day yesterday. I ate lunch and laughed. I drove home daydreaming, as I do, about all the things I want to do that night. Last night in particular I was hot with ideas to share in my class Social Media in Real Life.
I've been in online education a long time, and it's taught a couple of things about what people like when in a classroom setting. All that aside, I know what *I* like, and that's handouts. Yes, in this "paperless society" I want something to take away with me after the bell rings even if I take notes (and of course you know I take notes). Call it a security blanket, but teachers who have even one physical piece of paper to share with their students are gods to me.
So as I drive home, my thoughts are swirling around what kind of information I would provide in my class handouts. And then I came up with an idea, in the spirit of the class description of "free (or nearly free) online tools" on how to provide a one page, double-sided handout that would never go obsolete. Ever. BRILLIANCE, if I do say so myself.
You'll need to attend the class, which I'm co-teaching with Random House novelist @melissalion, to fully bask in the glow of said brilliance though. (That's the same @melissalion who was worried about me along with the ever funny, ever potty-mouthed @jarvitron.)
But the time I got home I couldn't keep my eyes open. I noticed the dog and cat needed to be fed. I saw my teenaged son behind his computer, pantomiming the act of eating soup. I scoffed. Loudly. Deliriously.
I went to bed. I awoke at 5am to find that my palms would have been itching had I been awake last night at the ungodly hour of Before Prime Time.
Have to say, it's nice to know friends are paying enough attention to imagine that my video shoot of an exam review seminar, and deciding to wear sexy panties for a little soul boost, would lead to my unfortunate p0rnnapping. Although, for the record, there may or may not be something like that already making the "my ex-girlfriend is hot" sites.
If you see it, let me know. In the meantime, sign up for my class!

Brilliance makes me sleepy

1 Tell me you love me:
I was worried. And Jarvitron assured me that all was well. He saved me, in a sense. BECAUSE WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU?
