Appreciative of Verbage

Today, between answering phone calls and providing technical support, I’m sitting in my cube reading my 1300 page book on Access 2007. Thrilling, I know. (It is a bit exciting that I am already on page 453, but deceiving since I’m not really reading most of the book, but rather skimming.)

I was reading one of …keep reading

“A” Game

I’m starting to think that “night school” professors (that is, those who teach nighttime classes, at the college or graduate level) should be more lenient. I mean, I don’t really think we should be expected to bring our A game to class. It’s Monday, and let me assure you, I’m never on my A game …keep reading

Primed and Ready to Go

Finished up priming ’s office last night. He patched a couple of spots that he has to sand down and touch-up, but that’s a 15 minute task at best. He picked out paint colors and is buying them today after work (as well as picking up some more paint chip/cards for me). For my part, …keep reading

Fat Tuesday, huh?

I had no idea. So, to celebrate, I’m having an apple with my usual lunch of yogurt.

Pants still don’t fit.

In other news… I’ve got nothing. It was a fairly boring, albeit long, weekend. Class Friday night, homework, a bit of cleaning, some preparation for sewing, and… homework. And lots of Stargate SG-1 (I just started …keep reading

Now with 30% less angst

Would you like, perhaps, a little more fun in today’s post? I thought you would. I have picture goodness to share with you, since I finally got everything uploaded to Flickr.

Yes, my hair is still straight. People are still talking about it. Apparently I look fab. I got hit on last night at the …keep reading

I hate making phone calls

I checked my calendar and it looks like I only spent 6 or 7 hours doing homework this weekend. That may not sound like a lot, but it sure felt like a lot. There was a lot of sleeping in, so took up some time. Friday night we were at the shindig past 10, so …keep reading

It’s Friday afternoon

Enough said? I went to Macy’s on my lunch break and bought two shawls to try out with my LBD. Because, you know, it’s Minnesota, and it’s February, and it’s cold. Too cold for sundress sleeves, even indoors. (Well, with enough wine, I’d probably be OK, but totally not appropriate for a spousal company party. …keep reading

Say it with me now

“Cau-cus” “Caucus!”

Tonight, there are no classes at Metro. Why? Because it’s caucus time here in Minnesota. Don’t know what that means? Don’t worry – none of my classmates did either (many of whom are also future Social Studies teachers). So, as a little present to them, next week when I present on strategies to use …keep reading

On Not Posting

No posts today. Why? Because I was busy with another blog, one I had to create for class. And I had to make it look pretty and stuff. And I’m still figuring out the e-folio site, because though I have used a few different blogging softwares, an HTML editor or two, and a CMS, every …keep reading

Let’s not do that again

My weekend was supposed to be filled with homework, visiting with , and watching the Vikings win (OK, so I don’t really care about that last bit, but I had to throw it in). Oh, and a lovely massage on Friday night. Boy, am I glad I got that massage. Saturday just as and …keep reading

Things I Would Like

(In no particular order)

… Time to use pretty craft supplies (and not just browse them on the internet).

… Weather warm enough so I can to spray-paint in my garage.

… The perfect color scheme (including exact paint colors) for the master bedroom.

… To be able to use my laptop in my Tuesday night class (I am …keep reading

Yum!

I [perhaps foolishly] spent most of yesterday afternoon baking. I made four batches of muffins, a batch of icebox cookie dough, and a double batch of chocolate chip cookies. (OK, I only baked up part of the chocolate chip cookies, and then spoon-dropped the rest onto a cookie sheet and stuck them in the freezer, …keep reading

Meh

I’m feeling indifferent today. It started with missing the 7:00 bus (by about 30 seconds), followed by a dentist appointment at 8:00. He removed a very large filling in the very back left and replaced it with an even larger one. I am still sore, and was instructed not to eat with that side of …keep reading

The… 7th day of Christmas

(Yes, that’s how many Christmas celebrations we had. This was the last.)

Last night, and came over for our annual Christmas in January gift exchange and yummy food. We learned how to make shrimp scampi, had delicious roasted Brussels sprouts that brought, and then consumed way more chocolate mousse than was advisable (but …keep reading

Goes great with cheese

Allow me to whine for a moment, will you? Thanks. Feel free to go about your daily business if you’ve already heard too much whining today.

I feel quite blech. Yesterday I forgot to eat my lunch until after two, and when I did I couldn’t actually finish it (“it” being the Fage yogurt I’d brought, …keep reading
