Nothing too exciting to report about the weekend.
It took me an entire hour to get home on Friday night (trains in both S. Charleston & London, lights, other drivers, etc.), and when I arrived at 4:20, my in-laws van was sitting in the driveway. Their appointment had been cancelled, but they missed the phone call, so they arrived about an hour before we were expecting them. I showed them the new tv and chatted until Eric got home (at five). Then we went out to dinner and tried to find a new computer desk for my MIL. I was pretty fried by the time we got home and said good-bye…I’m actually something of an introvert and I hadn’t had a single moment of downtime (read non-social) all that day. But it was good to see them and we did get to eat at P.F. Changs!
Saturday was pretty quiet. I worked in my office. Eric worked in the loft. Later I did laundry and ironed and made banana bread. We had a “find your own” night for dinner, and to end the day I watched Finding Nemo on our huge television…very nice!
Sunday was a long day for Eric. It seems the radiator in his Jeep is having issues, so he ended up driving out to the farm in the afternoon to drop it off there to be worked on by their Adamsville repair guy and came back to Columbus with his brother who has an extra car we borrowed. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get the Jeep back soon! I hung out at home after church (and a not-stellar dinner…I hate when meals don’t come together well), knitted, read the paper, and then went to small group. It was fun and everyone was talkative. Then home and to bed.
Now off to CU for the day…should be fun! I’m going to talk about grammar/punctuation in Comp. If you were in my class, what would you think I should talk about…or what mistakes have you heard that I could address?
I love “find your own” night. Not all the time, but it’s a nice break. I had a meal awhile back that just turned out bad. I was missing some key ingredients so I tried to improvise, which usually is OK, but this time it went all wrong. I’m still embarrassed!
Teach them how to correctly join two sentences: comma-conjunction OR semi-colon. I hate comma splices!
Ugh. I hate days like that (Friday) when you’re constantly seeing people!
Tell them that whatever other professors say, you DO NOT use an apostrophe to make a last name plural!!!!
I hate when you plan a meal and it just doesn’t turn out right, too!!! Very annoying!
