The only possible upside to this migraine thing is that I haven't had a hangover or any ill effects from drinking. Still, I went to bed too late last night to be considering teaching in half an hour. Yet, I must.

And then The Container Store to try and spend my Christmas gift card. That's a lot of stimulation right there.

Oooh, Container Store! I could go there... or maybe tomorrow, while the rest of the world is watching the Superbowl. In fact, I could make it a twofer and go to the LL Bean store that's nearby in Burlington.

tragety has struck. our cross cut shredder has died. guess I have to watch tv instead of shredding paper...

Instead, I've been awake for about 20 minutes, and the coffee is just now ready.

Oh well.

does anyone on the board collect coins? I have a handful of oldish (40-60s) ones that I don't know if they are worth doing anything with. I mean, I know they are not worth tons, but am wondering if it is more than face value.

msbelle, I'd start with ebay. Not to sell them, but to see if you can get a gauge of their value.

Hey Lee! I got up, but am now back in bed with the laptop. I'm supposed to be doing schoolwork...

I'm supposed to be cleaning....

People experiencing winter should probably not read the white font, but I just have to squee about something.

SoCal white font: It's so beautiful today! It feels like spring. I have the front door wide open, and the most wonderful fresh breeze is blowing through the house and making me so happy.
