I remember exactly where I was September 11, 2001. In a classroom full of students. It was my second year teaching, it was second period and we were going about our day just like normal. Then, a friend and fellow teacher came down to my room and told me what happened. I was like...you're lying...no way. At this point, only the first tower had been hit. I turned the TV on in my room and probably about 10 minutes later, the second plane hit and we (me and my students) couldn't believe it was real. I watched the movie United 93 on DVD Saturday. My husband bought it last week I think, but I wanted to wait to watch it. (I'll tell you another story about my hubby's hobby/obsession with DVD's another day.) It was hard to watch a movie that you already knew the outcome to. But seeing the background stuff at the FCC and with the air-traffic controllers and the military was really eye opening. If it was true, boy I sure hope they've improved since then. Well, I honor and salute those who lost their lives that day and hope their families are coping with the loss. I decided that I was going to start posting my daily progress with the WIPs I*ve been working on. Hopefully, this will help me keep mywriting butt in gear and stop being a slacker.

Me too! I can still remember what I was doing that day. Strangely enough I don't turn on the tv or the radio normally at all during the day but I did and saw just when everything collapsed. I still get tears in my ears whenever I think about it. My prayers always with those affected by this day.
