Seriously, this has not gone away in the last year? http://t.co/zcf6JMgOk0

Yep. RT @MattB_UK Michelle Obama, wife of the most powerful person on the planet, does x and the world coos. Cameron does it, and vitriol.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ Yes. I don't know what else to say.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@Pinkgineer As it bloody well should be! :-) Although I was teaching too much this year and did not come up for air around Halloween.

@_missChicago_ I bought a new bag at Clark's tonight in anticipation of flying tomorrow. It's not as good as Kate, but...

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ I think I got it from Anne of Green Gables? You?

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ YES, and the best part is that you know the phrase "kindred spirits" which I love and use and get puzzled looks :-)

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ I'll be in Boston for the next week and a bit, through Saturday week. We should definitely try to catch up.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ WHAT??? OH NO. You need to let me know deers. Are you in the US now? I fly there tomorrow, can talk for the next week.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ I miss you being on Facebook. I posted an epic photo of the dinner 3 British girls threw for me w/all-American T-day themes!

@_missChicago_ I had to retire my Kate Spade bag recently, it was getting so frayed and I thought of you when I did it and bought a new bag.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ WHEN are we going to be in the same place at the same time? This is getting ridiculous and I miss you!

Found Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on YouTube, and I'm now a very happy (American expat mostly British now) person.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ Thanks darling! Just watching Charlie Brown on Youtube right now... miss you, it's been AGES. We need to go to Hutong @Shard

@_missChicago_ @galooph I'm focused on 'Robogals'-using regular Lego robotics kits to do girl-focussed school age outreach activities.

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ @galooph We don't need girly engineering toys--implies that girl engineers are not interested in the same things as other eng

[notfrmroundhere @notfrmroundhere]

@_missChicago_ @galooph So I hate it, and have had to explain why over and over this week. See: http://t.co/Z1e7r0y0rj

@KT_Little No, can't. Teaching. Even if my own closer relative died (parent) during our teaching term it would be tough for me to go home.

@mokuska Thanks. I'd probably feel better if not for the terminal cancer diagnosis from one of my cousins today on the same family side.
