I could say I did it to avoid grading.
Grade avoidance syndrome has let to me doing many a craxy thing. I fear it may send me to Twilight as well. However, I am almost looking forward to the experience in a "I can't help but watch this train wreck" sort of way and am fully expecting to eyeroll and twitter all the way through.
I can't beleive I have students missing school tomorrow so they can go to the first showing at noon. They are heading to the mall early to get in line so they are sure to get tickets.
Good god. I haven't watched the puppies in a while and it's like the camera's running on fast forward. They're tiring me out.
Timelies all!
Need to pack, as tomorrow we head for New Jersey to attend Philcon, for the first time in a few years.
Bah. I waited too long to reserve a rental car for Thanksgiving, so the places I usually go to are all out. So I have to go to O'Hare, where the City taxes are like 20%. Plus I don't get a weekend rate, so it's $250 to rent a Focus for two days. (Usually I end up spending around $100.)
Doesn't Chicago have zipcar or anything? Could you do that, would that be cheaper?
Wait, Philcon's in NJ this year? How long has this been going on?
Whew--got all caught up on a week's worth of Natter!!
Las Vegas was very nice (mid-70s and sunny), seeing my sister and her family and my mom was also nice, if exhausting in its own way, and finally getting over to the Grand Canyon was incredible, if also exhausting (tour bus trip from Vegas to the South Rim = 16 hour day). I'm going to stop by Walgreens and get my pics printed and downloaded onto a disc to be sent out to Mom.
Welcome back, Kathy!
The puppies have grown a lot since you've been gone.
I was just admiring how their tails uncurl when they fall deep asleep. I'm fascinated by dogs with curly tails in general, so watching these pups is extra-fun.
Am at parent/teacher conference night. My appt was to start 3 min ago, but nsm and there is another parent in front of me.
I think mac is going to be the classic undermotivated student. He is pulling the equiv of low Bs and high Cs now.
I wish I was in Vegas right now.
DH had to walk in the holiday parade so we tried to take the kids. We had to line up a half an hour early. Oh, and it's freakin' 22 degrees.
Liv was cold and cranky after 15 minutes so I brought the kids back to the van to wait it out.
Shoot me.
