Wednesday morning. 

I can’t believe it’s the last day of April!  How time (and the semester) does fly…  And there was no frost at my house this morning, so the “freeze watch” they were threatening us with doesn’t seem to have crashed into us. Yay!

I decided not to grade yesterday morning.  It was sunny out, so I went to a bookstore.  I didn’t buy anything, but I browsed for a long time and read the newest People magazine. Apparently Miley Cyrus is being criticized for a photo of her leaked from a Vogue photoshoot.  I liked this lady’s take on it.  And that pretty much covered my need for celebrity gossip.

I did do a bit of grading in the afternoon.  I have 3 3/4 portfolios graded.  I watched YouTube videos of Jeff Dunham (a very funny ventriloquist) between each portfolio to give myself a break.  Eric didn’t get home until almost 6:00 which is very late for him.  I was going to have him take me out for Greek, but he needed to relax for a while.  So I made bread crumb crusted chicken breasts, veggies, and bread.  And it tasted yummy!  So I think I’ll hold out for Greek later this week.

In the evening, we watched a geek show until 8:00, and then I ironed.  I watched a Most Outrageous Moments show on NBC, the last half of AI, and the first half of Hell’s Kitchen.  I’ve decided that Gordon Ramsey, no matter how much he swears and yells, is really a nice guy underneath.  Anyway, I went upstairs at 9:30 and read in bed until 10:00.  Then lights out!

Today, I plan to head to CU.  I grade better in my office than at home on finals week.  And I really would like to have my portfolios done by Friday.  So…off I go!

  2. I think that Gordon Ramsey is pure evil. He is the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. He is arrogant, demeaning, selfish, rude….c’mon!

    Nice guys should show that they’re nice guys….if they are…

    Sometimes I laugh at him, though. Can’t help it.

  3. @shannahhogue – You can do one more. And DON’T take them home….just come back to the office….they’ll be finished MUCH faster that way……..are you rethinking my pile method????

  7. I love Gordon Ramsey, and feel very guilty about it, since every other word is a yeehaw swear word. But I agree that he is an OK guy. DO NOT defend yourself for having an evening of doing nothing! They come seldom. Enjoy. I’m all for you.

  8. @trishlrich – I suppose GR is just trying to weed out the bad chefs…after all, the winner’s prize is to work for him in one of his restaurants.  I’d want the really good people to win, too!

  9. @gsowell – I don’t think watching 3 hours of television between 6-10 is really that amazing, Gail!  I just ironed in there to make myself feel less like a couch potato.

  10. I marvel at all you are able to get done between 6 and 10.  Then I remind myself that you don’t have all the interruptions and extra chores I do (last night: clean up fish off the floor, baths for 3 small people who were having a splash war, practicing sight word flash cards, reading a book, policing dental hygiene time, Bible stories, good night songs, prayers, tucking in).  I guess that did consume at least 2 hours of my 6-10 time.

    Here’s to praying for the days when you get nothing accomplished at night, too!  Hugs!

  12. Do you think Gordon Ramsey NEEDS to be that mean on the show?  Do you think it adds anything to how well the people cook?  Just wondering – he seems like a nice guy to me, too!
