T Minus Five Days

T minus five days until our fall break.

Let's take a moment to really appreciate that.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

You're welcome.  Look at that pointy elbow.  Every week, people.

We had a "secret ingredient" supper club last night, and the secret ingredient was:

SPAM!  Everyone, prepare your arteries!

They picked that adjective?  Really?

I have to say, the dishes were surprisingly good, particularly the spam musubis!  It took me back to the Hawaii days, and it was a nice memory there for a minute.

We also had spam and pineapple spring rolls, scalloped potatoes with spam, hashbrown casserole and tomato bisque (without spam) to give ourselves a breather, and then pineapple upside down cake...with spam.

If anyone needs me this week I'll be eating vegetables.

I have been a crappy blogger of late because I think my introversion has gone off the charts and all of a sudden I'm not even able to handle silent, non committal communication or something.

Also?  The weather was in the negatives or teens for most of last week.  I've discovered this makes me want to hibernate for a thousand years.

It's supposed to warm up to the 30's and maybe even the 40's this week, so I think I'll lay out or go swimming or something.  That's practically tropical.

My students turn in a big paper today and because of a variety of scheduling problems and the fall break, I somehow ended up telling them that I would give them their grades back on Wednesday.  As in, two days from now. Why?  Why did I do this? 

I'll pay you $1,000 to come grade for me.  Free spam!
