Wow, I can't believe that. Just majorly stupid.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Because books.
I'm still so baffled by people. WTF?
I really wish we lived near you, Sparky. We have had so many dogs wander by in both of the places we've lived the longest, and we always took them in and got them reunited with their owners. Five times, in fact. Argh.

Okay, after talking with him some more, I have concluded that he did not have my dog. Wrong color harness, described her as older and larger than a beagle (not my Sass)...
I'm not sure anymore that he had anyone's dog.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm too lazy to take this to Tech so I will ask here--does anyone have any recommendations for iphone/ipad apps for memory/concentration oriented games or puzzles? Either kid or adult appropriate would be fine.

I was just about to say CRANK, Sparky.
I am so sorry he raised your hopes. God, who DOES that?

Oh Sparky. He sounds like a tool. So sorry.
Today, I came into work and was told I was expected to help with graduation (In three years, I've only taught seniors and no one has EVER asked me to help with graduation). I couldn't go to practice (well, I could, but I didn't) because Grace's school had a thing. And she's leaving the school. And her teacher is retiring. Etc. etc. So instead, I took Noah (who is with me at school) to that.
Then we went home and had lunch. Now we are back at school since I'm contractually supposed to be here. Even though I have ZERO students and my room is clean.
Sigh.

Perkins,
besides Sudoku?
Heist (it's a new one) is pretty good and fun. I haven't gotten to the end, but there is supposed to be some prize.
Zentomino is also pretty fun.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ooh Sparky, I am furious on your behalf.
Ugh, I started a huge house project that I now need to drop only partially done because I NEED to go grocery shopping. Grrr. And then need to come home and finish as much of the project as possible before I pick up kids since it involves absurdly breakable dishes and vases. Argh. And when I'm all done? The house will look essentially no neater because I'm cleaning up cupboards, not moving the large swathes of furniture that need to be rearranged. Fume.
sigh.
Okay, repressing frustration and moving on to the next item.

Perkins, I second the Sudoku rec. I ended up buying the Sudoku Expert package because they are nicely challenging. And DH downloaded a sort of sudoku-riff number puzzle for free (not sure it's still free however) called Strimko something or other. Decent puzzles.
