I wish I had something of worth to say today. Let me think about it…
Here’s what I’ve got:
- I brought home portfolios to grade today. A portfolio takes about half an hour (sometimes less) to grade. I brought 10 home with me. It’s not likely I’ll spend 5 hours grading today.
- Eric and I made dinner together last night. We had pasties. I made the dough; he made the fillings. I like cooking with my husband. It’s a great time to talk to each other.
- The Today Show just annoyed me. Matt Lauer is in Amsterdam today (for their yearly series called ‘Where in the World is Matt Lauer?’). The NY hosts were asking him viewer’s questions, and Ann Curry made sure to ask the one that assumes global warming is raising oceans which will flood Amsterdam. I think the environment is really important, but I hate that the question was about global warming, not Amsterdam. Grrr!
- It’s pretty cool here today. I walked on my treadmill. At least the warm stuff is coming back tomorrow.
- My last day of classes went fine. I had a meeting and then collected most of the portfolios (still waiting on one). I worked on my Basic English reports. Then I drove home.
- After dinner, I watched television all evening (pretending there weren’t portfolios in my car, of course!). We watched part of Emeril Live, then Good Eats (about cupcakes), and two episodes of Dirty Jobs. I recorded the Jon & Kate episodes to watch at lunch this week.
- One of the Dirty Jobs was about a dairy farm (he helped deliver calves); Eric wasn’t impressed because he’d done most of those jobs himself. But it was still cool to watch them being born. It reminded me of the day at the Edlunds that Peekaboo (a cat) gave birth in the kitchen, so we all got to watch. I think we were on our way somewhere and were interrupted because, apparently, she needed Kathy’s help. Does anybody else remember that?
Okay, I think that’s all I’ve got for now. If anything exciting happens, or I come up with more, I’ll be sure to update my post. Happy Tuesday!
I wish we had cable! I miss so many great shows!
So happy for you being done with classes!
Hooray for your LAST day of classes!! Will you be writing a lot this summer?
A little late, but weighing in……pasties twirl, right?
@MomEdlund – mighta been Two-Two…but it was a long time ago, so I guessed on which one it was!
I remember the cat incident. The kitten she was having was rather large and she couldn’t get it out. I called the vet and they siad to pull on the cord while she was having a contraction. It was rather gross, but it worked! The kitten arrived and everything else went fine!! I, actually thought the cat was Two-two, but maybe I’m wrong!!
@bethelaine – @gsowell – Yes, they are homemade hot pockets. Last night was ham, broccoli and cheese. We also had couple of extra pieces of dough so we made an egg/ham/cheese mixture, so we also got breakfast hot pockets.
@gsowell – actually, i was thinking about jim gaffigan’s hot pocket sketch. that makes me roll with laughter!
@bethelaine – I think so…Anyone, anyone?
**Did you say that like on Ferris Bueller?**
@gsowell – so…. i’m picturing a homemade hot-pocket. is that correct?
@bethelaine – Me, too! And I grew up with Shannah! She defined them for us before…I picture a turnover kind of thing, but filled with meat and veggies: like a chicken pot pie in a pastry shell.
you mid-westerners use this term “pasties” and i have no idea what it means! to me, it has an entirely different meaning, completely unrelated to food, and not xanga-appropriate!
You wish you had something worth saying today, isn’t that every day.
Just kidding. Did you read my reply to you on my site?
I remember a cat giving birth in the kitchen, but I couldn’t have told you which one it was. Darn cats. Always interrupting our plans.
