… the day the school supply display is discovered.
That would have happened today. In Target. About 11am local time.
Every time the kids start wearing my nerves thin, the school supplies magically show up in the store and remind me that summer break is temporary. This joyous revelation is usually accompanied by the parting of the [...]

Mail lady was good today! I received notices that …
1) I have been accepted into UWT’s Environmental Science program. My prior acceptance from UWT was just to the school in general, not the progarm I wanted.
2) My graduation application has been reviewed and accepted, pending my performance this semester (which I’m not worried about.)
It’s been [...]

Nothing really too new to report. Things here have pretty much been all school and nothing but school so help me God.
Really.
In knitting news … there is nothing.
In crochet news … there is nothing.
In spinning news … there is nothing.
In reading news … about 49% done with Wicked. Kind of an odd book. I don’t [...]

Some random updates. Mostly about school news. With a wee bit of knitting.
1) Big news in the house is that Madeleine got her braces this week. I’ll be a good mom and spare her the embarrassment of having her picture plastered (again) on the internet. Bad daddy!  M’s not a happy camper. Yes from the [...]

12″ of text books.
I wish at least one of them would came published on kindle. :::sigh::: The kids have dared me to weigh them. I don’t think I want to know.
This last semester kicked my ass. Not so much grade wise (I’m expecting good ones once again) but just for the sheer slog of it [...]

I’m mad.
At myself.
Sorta.
This afternoon, my geography class got their tests back. A guy in the class got the second best grade. He was upset! He wanted to know who did better than him. Someone got 6% more than he did. Yes, he was so upset he bothered to calculate the percentage! Who ruined his score? [...]

soooooooooo good!
It was so very, very good. I modified the recipe a bit this time around. Veggie broth instead of the chicken stock,  Fish Eye chardonnay for the wine. Spinach instead of the mustard greens. I also cooked the barley more like a traditional risotto insead of the truncated one dose of broth and dump [...]

Posting so I can test out my rss feed. For some reason google reader isn’t picking my feed up. If you came here by an rss feeder (particularly google’s reader) could you let me know?
And while on the subject of testing … that biology test today? OMG. Jack texted asking about the test. Best consise [...]

School: Day one was fairly uneventful. Except for the two hour late start that canceled biology class.
The new chem professor has a tough reputation around campus. I’m ok with that — mostly because he was my only choice — but truly I’m always willing to let the professors earn their reputation with me. I don’t [...]
