I spend a lot of my time at work reassuring people that 1) there’s no need to panic, 2) it’ll all be OK, and 3) ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2012/01/24/speedblog/ I know, I know, I’ve been a bad blogger lately. But if you think this is bad, just wait until I start student teaching. That’s right, I got a placement for student teaching and start at the end of the month! I’m at the high school by my house (one block – awesome commute, ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2012/01/13/and-its-friday-again/ Yes, yes, I know it’s been, like, forever since I last blogged. I have explanations. Not excuses, but explanations.

One: Last week, was sick, and as he was healing I seem to have caught some of his cold. Or maybe a different cold. Can’t be sure. I didn’t do much all weekend long, but ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2012/01/06/explanations/ There are still two more Christmas get-togethers for me – and and I don’t usually get together until January. I like to stretch this out as long as possible (plus, I almost never have gifts ready for them by Christmas, so it’s nice to have the extra weeks).

Our trip to Illinois was good. ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2011/12/27/im-not-done-with-christmas-yet/ The number of cookies made, that is. It was a lot. And there are still two batches of dough in the fridge (chocolate crinkles and ginger chewies, because I couldn’t resist). Those should be easy to make up tonight with plenty of time to wrap gifts. I don’t have to spend any time getting ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2011/12/21/i-didnt-count/ So Friday night was lazy, and we had a very late start to Saturday, but from 12:30 on, the weekend was a whirlwind. We got 90% of our Christmas shopping done Saturday afternoon in about 3 hours (Bed Bath and Beyond, Toys R Us, Mall of America, and Sams Club, plus some online shopping). ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2011/12/19/monday-already/ Yesterday, we got the tree up, Christmas decorations out, and even got the lights on the outside of the house! We’ve never put up outside lights before, so there was a bit of a learning curve (especially since our gutters have covers, so we couldn’t use the gutter clips as they were designed), but ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2011/12/12/even-more-in-the-spirit-of-things/ I have lots to be happy about today.

I’m wearing my 40-year-old sweater (sadly with a turtleneck and long underwear beneath my jeans, because it was 7* this morning), and even though it wasn’t made for me and is a bit big and perhaps not the most flattering thing I could wear, I love ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2011/12/09/happiness-2/ One class tonight, one class Friday night, one more volunteer tutoring gig on Monday, and then it’s basically over. I mean, there’s still that Tuesday-Thursday middle school thing, but all I really have to do for that is show up, do whatever I’m told, and write reflections. At some point, I need to teach ...keep reading]]> http://wonderment.jeremiahone.net/2011/12/07/the-semester-is-nearly-over/
