I lost the baked eggs in ham cups recipe that I was going to make for my Dad on tuesday. Does anybody recall if that link was posted here?

Why didn't I torture my son for the last two weeks and make him do the assignments due tomorrow? I hate this.

He actually has assignments due TOMORROW? After 2 weeks off? That's just kinda cruel, really.

I waited until yesterday and today to do my lesson planning for the next week. The lesson planning is really done for 2 of my preps, but not the other 2. Got one done and one mostly done. Done enough that I can finish in the morning. So, it's not just students waiting until the last day of break.

And somehow, I also wonder if y'all cringe at my posts, as my grammar, spelling, & punctuation are not always up to snuff.

Nah, Omnis... the cringe-worthy stuff isn't screw-ups from people who are at least trying to post in a reasonable fashion. Very few of us are perfect here. But there are any number of people who are not like us who think l337speak and txt-ese are the bright future of written communication. It's like the tele-keyboard is a hoarde of entitled Normans, standard writing is Old English, and we are a handful of rag-tag Anglo-Saxons.

I have papers that I fully intended to grade over the break. They still aren't done so I guess I'll power through it tomorrow afternoon and on Tuesday. The lesson plans will probably get thrown together Tuesday night, I know what I'm going to do in 2 of my preps. The 3rd prep can limp along. Districts are in less than a month and the one act and individual events require my focus right now.

Yay -t you rock!

Also, billytea -- THANKS FOR THE PENGUIN!! It's much smarter than the Fairy Penguins at the Cincy Zoo. We put it on the Christmas tree, although it isn't, technically, an ornament.

You're welcome! I think it's an ornament now. I wonder if it'd be possible to decorate a tree entirely with penguins?

I was looking for your original post so I could COMM it (Love WindSparrow's response!) when I found this

Some how this week, in the throws of long work hours called tech...

and I realized that I had noticed that your grammar was not perfect but only because I think throws should be throes and I had just listened to that Minnesota Public Radio broadcast about homonyms and homophones and all those other homos and I realized this is one I hadn't thought of before! But I didn't cringe. I said, "hey neat." So if you can't be acurate, at least you can be amusing. (says the girl who often reads over a post, changes, something, changes it back, it still doesn't look right, says, "oh screw it!" and posts it anyway. Or sometimes I say, "oh nobody gives a shit what I think." and delete the post... so close this one came... so close)

We took our Christmas tree down tonight. Poor little tree; I'm going to miss it. It gave our somewhat dark living room just enough light to read by comfortably.
