The Number Game:

17:  the number of papers I read yesterday (no grades assigned)
19:  the number of papers I still have to put grades on
8: the number of items on my to-do list yesterday
4: the number of items on yesterday’s to-do list that I crossed off
2: the number of items I added to the to-do list just so that I could cross them off!
1: the number of times I left home yesterday (I walked outside to exercise)
5: the approximate number of times I woke up last night (didn’t sleep well at all!)
7: the number of students who have yet to take their exam today.
2: number of compliments I’ve received so far on my White Trash Christmas recipe that I made last night to give 
     myself a break from grading and then brought to share today
2: the books I need to return to the library sometime today

Okay, that’s all I can really think of right now.  That was
fun!  And that list pretty much covers everything I did
yesterday.  Thankfully, I am planning to finish my grading today
before I go home, so then I’ll be done with school for the
semester!  YEAHHHH!!!!!  Then maybe I can finish my Christmas
shopping, finally!


And finally, explanation for Gail about TV watching in my house:

  • We are not big TV people.  We have one television in the great
    room which covers the kitchen, living room, dining room, and loft
    whenever it is on.  So one show at a time and only when it doesn’t
    distract the other person.
  • We tend to watch “educational” television: Discovery, Travel
    Channel, TLC, HGTV, The Food Network, etc. Thus, our two primary shows
    are It Takes a Thief (which we are watching less because we’ve seen most of them now) and MythBusters
    (only on Wednesday nights).  Unfortunately, we usually have church
    obligations on Wednesday nights and, thus, miss MythBusters.  So
    we usually haven’t seen the reruns, and we sometimes tape the new
    episodes so we can watch them later.
  • My “obsession” is really just that their recently-investigated
    myths keep relating to our conversations…not because I really just
    LOVE the show that much!

  4. White Trash (made correctly!)

    20 oz. white chocolate
    6 c. Crispix
    3 c. Cheerios
    3 c. pretzel twists
    1 sm. container cocktail peanuts
    1 bag holiday M & M’s

    Mix together everything but the chocolate. Melt the chocolate and pour over mixture; stir. Spread on waxed paper to cool (takes about 20 minutes to be totally cooled). Break into pieces and enjoy!

    Be careful though…it’s HIGHLY addictive!

  7. What is this White Trash?

    Thanks for the explanation. I know we see MythBusters and we watch no TV on Wed. nights. It must be on some other time during the week, too. We are big fans of the food network. Alton Brown is interesting, and we love all the stories behind our favorite foods.

  8. Kyle’s been watching It Takes a Thief.  It’s a pretty interesting show.  We haven’t seen nearly all of them.

    We have seen every Cash Cab ever made, I’m convinced.  Sad, because it’s a good show.

    I feel old when I think about the fact that, by the time my mom was 28, she had five kids.  I’m a little behind!
