"Our Friend Mikayla" Picked as Featured Book

8/29/2007

Our Friend Mikayla picked as Featured Book

Read On Wisconsin, an online book club for students in Wisconsin, will officially begin its fourth year this September. We would like to inform you that Our Friend Mikayla by Mikayla’s 3rd Grade Class has been selected to be the featured book for the month of November for the Primary age group.

You can learn more about Read On Wisconsin at http://readon.wi.gov . As you will see on the web site, each of the month’s featured books are displayed prominently on the home page. Older students respond to the featured books through an online weblog. Teachers discuss strategies for using the books in their classrooms on the Teacher Resource page. Each month, I travel throughout the state to discuss the books with students. Read On Wisconsin also donates books to students who need them the most.

Each month, I recommend 5 books, one for each of five age groups ranging from preschool to high school. I selected all of the books for this year’s list with the assistance of an advisory committee comprised of teachers, librarians and students from across Wisconsin.

I look forward to featuring Our Friend Mikayla in November! Please let me know if there are ways we can work together. Thank you for your contribution to children’s literature.

Sincerely,

Jessica Doyle

First Lady of Wisconsin

"Southern Heat: a Clyra Fantasy" by muskifest (on EAYOR)

Yeah, this story kept me warm during the nights last winter....

Crap YAY! My top-of-the-page luck sucks continues!

cindilu -- OMG, how did I miss THAT one?!?!? Yummy.

Welcome all! clayharmony, nice post. And TLS -- great name. Can't wait to get to know you all more!

couchie, I was thinking the same thing for a new thread title. Glad you suggested it. He's such a dichotomy, isn't he? Also, is this the Kevin Studdard hair (from Zootopia in 2003)?

From an article about the Genesee Theatre and their tradition of having artists sign a wall backstage:

Lake County News-Sun

"The Handwriting's On the Wall"

• Naughty by Nature: Clay Aiken, who was born on Nov. 30 and appeared at the Genesee last Dec. 1, wrote "Thanx Genesee Theatre for a marvelous holiday (and birthday)." He also wrote his manager's name and phone number with the phrase "for a good time call," but the joke was later painted over.

And I love the beginning phrase....hmmmm....maybe a thread title..."Naughty by Nature"?

Thanks for the reminder on the auction eandpmommy and for the link to the BAF video....

Just to let ya'll know....I'll work on adding threads for each show in Holiday Tour 2007 section. Then, plotting and planning can commence!

I will probably also start a FCA attendees master list as well. When I get it set up, I'll let everyone know...

With the influx of new members, maybe we can actually hold a true FCA party somewhere....

Welcome xxx4clay! Thank you for the clack you've provided the past few years!

How'd you like to wake up at night and look at this?

*kicks husband out of bed for a second night in a row*

Woohoo Crap. Top of the page. I'm so lucky cursed.

Welcome claycherie!!!!!!

Oh man, where are my manners? Welcome lovethatguy and TLS!!!

I just read on an OFC thread that AI Rewind Season 2 begins September 29th, beginning with a "red carpet event" in Hollywood. Can't vouch for the information, but I'm now officially praying for the entirety of Season 2 in XviD.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hope thats true cos that is my all time favorite season...even without Clay...

Oh cool. I'm going to love seeing these over again, although I have them on my computer. I thought the group sings were great. And then there was that skinny red-headed dude.....

BTW...checked out the birthdays today and

:00003653: to HUUUGS

Ditto that! Happy birthday huuugs!

For the fresh meat newbies: if you put your birthday in the correct spot on your profile....we'll notice. Oh boy, will we notice. Dancing chickens are not unheard of. Dancing Waldos are not either.

Heh.

So this morning I'm in Starbucks and see that they have Lyle Lovett's new album on the counter entitled .....

It's Not Big, It's Large

And I instantly think ... hmmmm this should be a Clay Aiken album title. But then I realize that Clay's would more appropriately be titled ....

It's Not Large, It's Colossal

You so funny. It so true. Hee!

Oh.

Good.

Lord.

I just finished watching the Fort Myers "Barry Manislow" banter from darling Scarlett. I didn't realize how fast the man talks until he

slows

down

so

much.

Incredibly funny clack!

I simply LURVE that AMA picture of him striding out with Tori. Large and in charge indeed....and I didn't even notice the crotch! Hee.

BTW, I'm thinking that if Clay ever takes a peek at a few of the message boards and sees all these saved pictures of his feet, he'd be . Then, if he saw Waldo albums....OK, I'm not even going to go there.....

*hugs tightly top-of-the-page buddies jmh and YSRN*

Also paraphrasing J. Foxworthy, via permaswooned's recap:

Clay Aiken: You are a Man of Character

This is for Shoe BookWhore:

And I know what picture you're talking about, it's from the 2004 Christmas program. I just don't have it loaded into my photobucket account. Sowwy.

Did I get myself involved in a three-some with merrieee and keepingfaith? I kinda like it.

merrieee....listen, you're still on possible mod status. I didn't like the snowflake hair all that much either, especially from the front. And yet, couchie made me an admin. Maybe she didn't know that about me though...

Don't hurt me

The fauxhawk picture makes me laugh, just becuase I think Clay's in on the joke. "This is my hair, I do it this way sometimes...deal with it." He's got that twinkle in his eye there. (Unfortunately, that phrase was ruined for me in the past year....)

Best hair? Hands down, AMA 2006. Gah.

Aw man, I don't have an AMA 2006 picture in my photobucket. Must rectify that tonight when I get home.

Another "non-worrier" about Clay checking in. I think maybe, MAYBE, if I had been around on the boards during AI, I would have been worried about him during that time frame. Now? Nah. He's got a fantastic career going for him. He's smart. He's funny. He sings really, really well. What more can I ask for? He'll be around for a while.

And as I said yesterday, if he hadn't gone as far as he did -- he would make light of it somehow during his next concert tour. I love his self-deprecating humor.

Thanks for the fantastic recap couchie. I'm glad that boyfriend performed.

Anybody want that?

Seriously....it sounds like you had a blast -- seeing Clay AND making new friends is always a good thing. Great recall on the details too. OK, so most of the details, I can't wait to see what the hair looks like, even if I'm totally easy and like him even with the fauxhawk. *high fives jmh*

I'm confused.

Am I supposed to be loving Steeeve as a hairstylist? Or hating him?

Am I supposed to be loving Jamie as a hairstylist? Or hating her?

Because in the course of this fandom, I've heard all four of these. At the same time.

I just want to keep my stories straight.

Damn it, couchie didn't call me, and I have to do something now. I hope YSRN can take her call!

Almost forgot -- Clay for winning lots of moolah! And being smart and shit!

And also remember -- we got reports that his hair looked like pure crap at the Tyra show too. Both those looks (becuase there really were two that day, heh) turned out to be some of my favorites.

bottlecap's too. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Crap! I've got to leave work. Hope she remembers to call my cell phone after this time!

Where is she?!?!?!?!

EEEEEEEEEEE! luckiest1 is back!

OK, the Reader's Digest version of what happened around here this weekend: lots of new members arrived. Pretty pictures were posted. Smut happened.

The end.

Barf bags? Oh noooooooooo.

Now I'm nervous.

Nah, don't be. The OFC cellcert lost their connection, so no one knows what is going on. Hence, the nerves.

It's reminding me a lot of the old AI2 days, actually....

Woohoo!!! Top of the page!!!! Woohoo!!

Who's couchie calling? I left my cell phone at home today!

She's calling me -- and I hope she calls soon, because she's supposed to call me at work *cough* and I'm only here for another hour!

I found my source -- EmeraldEyes at the CH says Kellie was first.

BTW, I think Kellie may be smarter than she lets on. We'll just have to see. Besides, she's playing for a charity too (don't know which one)...we want them ALL to get good money, right? Right?

*crickets*

And I'm sorry, but I'm laughing here at all the nerves. Were ya'll like this during AI?

I think I read somewhere else that Kellie went first....

ETA: but I can't find the source!!! AAARGH!!!

Just got another confirmation on "No glasses."

*sob*

I see you CG doing the happy dance....pfththbt!

BTW -- kf, thanks for the pretty picture this morning....

Aren't you the one who said you're all for 'tasteful' smut? What's that?

I think that's when you write about his "beautiful humongous cock" instead of his "big dick." Could be wrong though.

Hi all. Interrupting the Fifth Grader Countdown. Is there room for one more in this mess fabulous board? By way of introduction, My s/n is Claybellina at the CB, chose that name because I wanted something really silly for what I thought would be a week or two. Then I changed it to Turtletoo at the CV and OFC because I wanted a name with more gravitas.

<snip>

Eta: If this sounds polite and prissy, forgive me, it’s a stealth entrance. If not, you already know me. Question. If I type “/not a troll”, does that make me a troll pretty soon?

Etaa: Will be back later with the best Baseball Movie of All Time.

and a Big WORD to 7,000 More.

Grabs Claybellina turtletoo and smothers her in hugs and kisses. It's my old Prisoner of Love Camp buddy!!!

I always wanted to use that smilie....

Welcome turtletoo!!!!

Is that any different than "throwing up in your mouth a little?" [/Quiana]
