What's New, Pussycat?
Mar. 11th, 2010 07:31 amSo far, my "Picture a Day" is turning into a "Picture Every Other Day." Seriously, I keep missing them. Fail.
This is my spring break from college. I meant to catch up on the Sociology Paper of Doom and Wrath, but between a very busy school week and not feeling all that hot--not to mention having a slightly-under-the-weather Youngest Boy--I really have done nothing with it. Fortunately, this morning I am feeling a bit better. Stupid sinuses--I think it has to do with the change in weather.
On a sinus side note, I really hate taking medicine every day, though I know it's perfectly socially acceptable. I keep trying to convince myself that I don't need my allergy medication, despite the fact that every time I stop taking it, I start to have serious allergy issues. Katherine, get over thyself and just take the silly medicine, won't you?
I've made muffins twice this week--the Feast of Unleavened Bread fast approacheth, and what better way to use up leavening than to make delicious breakfast foods? So far I've made pumpkin muffins and blueberry. I found a "new" recipe in one of my old cookbooks, and I have made the most beautiful muffins ever the last two days. They're golden, the top is round instead of flat, and they have a wonderful texture. On the down side, certain people (i.e., everyone in my family) complain that they're not very sweet.
On the work front, Book Fair is blessedly over, and things are returning to what passes for normal in a school library, by which I mean we can't find anything because we moved stuff around for book fair and yesterday a child told me I have hair like her mom. I am doing a little reorganizing, which feels good--hopefully, it will inspire me to do some organizing here at home, too. I need a robot butler. This is a recurring theme in my life.
Also, I continue to duel with the laminator and the copier. I don't think I've ever discussed in this public forum the fact that every time I successfully make a copy or laminate something, I secretly do a little victory dance and feel like shouting, "I WIN! In your FACE, Copier-lad!" or, you know, "Laminator Girl!" Because my secret fear is that I will somehow accidentally brand myself in a bizarre office-equipment-related incident. Or that I'll make a face and it will be laminated that way FOREVER.
