Hi all! yay Theo for the job-having.
Weekend plans: son is at sleepover, the rest of us just got back a little while ago from visiting grandma. Tomorrow, we'll take Franny to a play at the Geffen. Isaac opted to hang out at the sleepover instead.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Also, what are people doing this weekend?
Tomorrow: Pete is going back to Emerald City Comic Con (go networking!), so I am going to go thrift shopping with a friend, and work on the plans for my Vampire Ball outfit. Sunday: go to Dad's house, work on clearing the attic. Dad swears there's a giant box of petticoats up there.

I have been noodling around on Wordle, making word clouds for The Poisonwood Bible and Native Son, and printing pix of things for my walls for my class. It's totally relaxing, right? Since it's stuff I don't have time to do when I am "working."
Oops, I'm not being a lazy, overpaid teacher! But I am going to go and read a magazine and drink some tea soon.
The rest of the weekend, I am going to be grading, cleaning, grocering, laundering and going to a friend's bday party tomorrow night and hopefully drinking copiously.
Sleeping THE HELL IN tomorrow and Sunday.

I have a cold, so I'll be stewing in misery this weekend as well as trying to figure out what else I'm going to have to give up to get my cholesterol down. I have so few vices left, you guys. It's not fair.

I haven't seen a dr (and that was for a severe ear infection) in over a decade. That's my solution.

Should we find some new vices for you?

Maybe after I recover from the plague. I can't hardly enjoy them now, can I?

Hookers and blow!
Oh, wait, no. I'm visiting with my mom so my dad can go hiking, and ushering at a play tomorrow night. And Sunday I will go running.
Somewhere in there I have to do some writing. Oh, the joys of being back at work: all of a sudden I have no time again. But at least I'm earning money again.
People don't make actual "pound" cake anymore do they?
I do. Well, I make the Indiana Pound Cake that Betsy gave me the recipe for. It's not a full pound of somethings, but it's pretty rich. Very yummy.
