Oh! Speaking of marshmallows, how exactly do you make S'mores? You toast the marshmallow and then the heat from that melts the chocolate? Or do you toast the chocolate on the graham cracker in some way?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Okay, so interviews = still the suck.
I did not make it to HR to file my letter and ask various questions to which I'm having silly trouble getting straight answers. I did, however, spend three hours traveling for a two-hour visit. Also, the woman asked me how the students were different from the students I'm teaching now. Let's see, they're in their seat, they're paying attention, they're contributing to the conversation and doing the work, and they're all white (okay, 98%)?
Beautiful, beautiful campus, though quite a ways away. It would be really lovely, but... not counting on it. Next step: call up CalWest, scan in my up-to-date resume, start getting stuff together for applications. Really wish I'd gotten on the ball back in September to get all my CLAD stuff done, but c'est la vie (at least $500 bucks a class, man!). Oh, and anytime my fucking teaching credential, which I think will expire in September, would like to show up, that'd be just spiffy.
Argh. I hate Passover cleaning.
My poor neighbor broke her ankle last weekend and she's got her son coming in this Friday for Passover. She's in a tizzy but she's got some help for cleaning and she said she had gotten all her shopping done.
I bought peeps for the kids this year. Franny is gonna LOVE them. Isaac will want to play with them. He'll wave it around and say "birr birr" a few times, then he'll toss it and say "birr fly."
BWAH! My kids had them for the first time last night. Olivia bit the head clean off of one in one swift, Ozzy Osbourne like motion.
{{{Tom}}} Your ma is getting the stink-eye from me, too.
After a hugely busy day, Owen is asleep in his new, full-sized bed. Dude, he looks so tiny in it. But he picked out his own comforter and seems pretty satisfied with his choice (Cars). We left his crib up just in case he changes his mind. But if he doesn't notice, we'll put it away this weekend. And by me, I mean DH.
{{ND}} That sucks and it's totally their loss.
EMILY! (remind me not to drink caffiene, well, maybe ever again)
Ok. People. I want a book of sewing/quilt patterns for a baby's room--you know, bumper pads, diaper holder, changing table pad--that's not dorky. I'm a COOL auntie. I have to make COOL presents for the baby's room, otherwise I'll be *that* auntie. Why, oh, why does the Internet hate me?

That's a lot of pressure, given that this is going to be a creature that can't distinguish any of those things from his/her own fingers or bodily emissions for months.
Ok. Well, maybe I don't want to be *that* sister (or even worse, *that* sister-in-law!).
Although, I have a REALLY cool baby blanket crochet pattern with exercises for the baby's eyes.
My Mom just called me to tell me that I'm being inconsiderate for not spending my birthday with my family.
Telling her that that IS what you're doing probably wouldn't help, would it?

Yes. But my recipe involves more setting the marshmallow on fire than toasting, though ...

Mine too.
I just got an email from one of my officemates, asking if anyone had taken her jacket by accident. I looked in my closet, and yep, a jacket other than mine on one of my hangers. How did I manage to not only walk home in but hang up someone else's jacket without noticing it wasn't mine? It's similar, though not identical to, a jacket I own, but that's not the one I was wearing today.
