Sugar, Spice, Steel, and Ice.

What am I made of? I am about to find out. Starting this week I will begin a four-month stretch that will include me (1) teaching evening classes at two universities, (2) welcoming child number four, (3) acting and singing in a show that runs for six weeks, (4) working my regular job, and (5) nearly dying from sleep deprivation.

I believe that this next four months will prove beyond any reasonable doubt what, exactly, I am made of. "Gelatinous substance" is no longer specific enough. Am I part vinegar and part pee pee? Or am I a wussy-filled weenus? I will soon know for sure.

Maybe I'm sugar and spice. Of course, the spice in this diad is oregano, which makes an awful sweetener. Conversely, sugar is not good on a pizza.

Maybe I am made of rubber AND glue, both bouncing and sticking.

Maybe I am all tied up in buttons and bows, with no shortage of fastening possibilities.

Maybe I am all shook up. Oh, uh huh.

Maybe I am what I ate: Zucchini bread.

Maybe I am pretty and witty and gay. If I am pretty and witty, then gay is probably right.

Maybe I am Spartacus. See above (two gay jokes? That's interesting).

Maybe I am glad to do whatever it takes to provide for my family.
