Behind again

Class today was swell - the students were writing an in-class essay, so I got to assess their prior work while they were completing their current work. I felt so awesomely on top of stuff!

Good thing, too, since I sort of blew off the rest of the day, and got only about 3% of my planned assessing done. I'm going to blame it (not really) on Dingo, who came over for tea (hot) and homemade muffins (hers) and lunch (Thai) and visiting. It was really good to see her, since she missed the spooktration.

Once Dingo set the bar high for the day, reading papers didn't seem like an appropiate follow-up, so Otis and I went out to Target. Otis got some stuff for work and play (including a new rug for the massage room), and I got me one of them apple wedgers that Johnbai was on about the other night. It really is slick, although the Honey Crisp in the fridge was so massive it wouldn't fit through.

After all that excitement and some wedged apples for dinner, Otis got all artsy and bloggy and I found plenty of stuff to do that didn't involve schoolwork. I guess I could still get some done tonight, but that's hardly likely, is it?

Speaking of Otis blogging, the Healing Nest has a little personality quiz thing going on. Check it out.

And speaking of links, here's a news story (that I got from JustJon) that says I should go get that doctorate, if only to stay even with inflation.

And speaking of boots, I'm outta here.

So now you don't read my blog anymore - I had the link to the WSJ story last Tuesday :-(((

First of all, no one "reads" Independence Days anymore - it's almost all link-blogs now! Is page two becoming more general interest, rather than family-centered? The Deck Reports have moved there, no?

Anyway, I'm sure that your blog is where I got the WSJ story in the first place! I just forgot that was the source and re-re-reported it. Sorry!
