			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m so excited and can&#8217;t sleep, again. <strong>Zanny Rants</strong> is now on <strong>Zazzle</strong>, available as all kinds of great stuff. You can check  it out at <a class="aligncenter" href="http://www.zazzle.com/zannyrants*" target="_blank">http://www.zazzle.com/zannyrants*</a></p>
<p>This is just too much fun. I&#8217;ll be getting more and more items added as I figure this stuff out, but for right now I started with mousepads and so far, only one magnet. But hey, at least I got started, right? Somedays I wish I could clone the worker bee in me! HA. You can also click on the Zazzle panel over there.&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve changed my mind again.  In my most recent post I said &#8220;my hope is to convert this blog into a marketplace for all the <strong>Zanny Rants</strong> notecards, in addition to being a place to share thoughts, opinions and ideas.&#8221; <strong>Wrong</strong>, just wrong. It&#8217;s not the <strong>direction</strong> I want to go at all. I now realize spending the time and energy to develop this website into an e-commerce site is just silly, but more importantly, that would completely defeat the original intent of the site and <span style="color: #000000;"><em>I&#8217;m not going to do it.</em> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">So, now what? Well&#8230;&#8230;..here&#8217;s my thought tonight, and I actually believe I&#8217;ll stick with this one. It&#8217;s really what the goal was in the very beginning of this entire year long process. Just as the name implies&#8230;&#8230;.rants! Daily rants. About anything and everything. Just because I can. And want to. It doesn&#8217;t matter if anyone reads the posts or not. I paid for the domain name, and the hosting, and what the hell. It can be whatever I want it to be. If nothing more than a place to express my thoughts, concerns, observations and daily frustrations/triumphs, then so be it. Hopefully, what I have to say will touch someone else, perhaps inspire (or at least encourage) another to share their experiences, as well. Afterall, we are all <span style="text-decoration: underline;">teachers and students</span> simultaneously. Of course I hope others will engage, will offer their insights and experiences to the &#8220;comments&#8221; section, but&#8230;..if not, well, ok then. I&#8217;ll just pretend. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">So off I go in the original direction I intended. Feels good. I like it. (Prostitution comes in many forms, you know!) I may still do an e-commerce site for the notecards, but it&#8217;ll be a new site. Not this one. This one feels somewhat sacred to me, not to be diluted. Nothing but rants and raves, sharing my stories and experiences, feelings, hopes, dreams and yes, fears. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t posted anything on this blog for quite awhile now. Originally, my thought was to <strong>rant</strong> about a subject and add a cartoon regarding whatever that subject was. However, this caricature, Zanny, has magically taken on a life of her own! She&#8217;s now a line of notecards addressing many of the issues of the day in her own snarky little way. My hope is to convert this blog into a marketplace for all the <strong>Zanny Rants</strong> notecards, in addition to being a place to share thoughts, opinions and ideas. We&#8217;ll see how fast I can get this all done. Learning takes time. <img src='http://www.zannyrants.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
