I got home from Xangafest last night and my husband waved to me from the master bathroom as I drove into the driveway. I went upstairs to see his ‘surprise’ and found that he’d spent the evening installing a second electrical outlet in our bathroom. It’s a job we’ve needed done since we bought the house (the bathroom only had one outlet, right beside the sink, which meant I couldn’t dry my hair while Eric shaved or brushed his teeth…very annoying!). He got the wall patched up last night, but now it needs sanded and painted. So we are using our hall bathroom for a day or two, but by tomorrow or Thursday, we’ll be able to be in the bathroom at the same time if we need to!<\/p>\n
Xangafest was, of course, great fun. It turns out that I actually know a lot of more my Xanga friends in real life, than I realized. Of course, most of them I met 10 years ago when I worked at summer camp, so it’s been a while. But still, it was great fun to make connections between people! Thanks for all the hard work, Marla!!!<\/p>\n
A funny story from the ball game on Saturday: they picked some guy to play a game, and if he won, he and his entire row would win a chili cheese dog or something. So they had him on camera on the big screen. The funny part is that, when people realized he was wearing a Michigan shirt, they started booing him from around the stadium. So he showed off his shirt as much as he could, won the game for his row, and then the Reds people played “Hang on Sloopy” when the game was over. It was very fun!<\/p>\n
Today, I feel like I have a ridiculously long to-do list, but it’s mostly just little jobs, so it’s not really that bad. The clutter in my house is starting to really bug me, so I will need to clean up a bit today. I will wait to clean bathrooms until the master bath is in working order again. And I MUST grade at about 8-10 papers today (workshops tomorrow). <\/p>\n
And maybe, since it’s so nice, I’ll just chuck it all (except the grading, of course) and go hang out with Karen or just be outside! Happy 70-degree Tuesday (at least in Ohio)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
