I'm so excited

and sick. This is tragically predictable. The instant I no longer have my own classroom or am taking classes from another, I get sick. Hopefully, it will pass quickly.

AND, here's the excited part: I signed up for (trumpet fanfare) Shakespeare in the Sock. I AM SO EXCITED.
AND, my oldest asked if I could get her copies and tell her a little about ::quiver with glee::
Romeo and Juliet
Macbeth
OH OH OH OH! Well, for about the next half hour she could not shut me up. I ran, or as well as I could with my stomach the way it is, to get my tattered copy of Shakespeare's Collected Works, ordered her nice, new copies of annotated plays (did you know you could get the original text along with modern translation??!!) Well, ya know, that line about the Zamboni from Mystery, Alaska...yup, that's me about Shakespeare (scroll down to the 11th set of quotes). I started thinking about movies, which is my other "I wish I could get paid for having an inhumanly vast pool of knowledge about" subject. There are so many that have Shakespearean themes or are adaptations ::cough::ripoff::cough:: and we're going to sit, knit, chat, watch movies, pause so I can explain the Bard concepts, oooh it's truly a mother/daughter bonding day. I.am.in.heaven.
