  1. Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!! The train came through our town at 4:45am, whistling at every.single.intersection. And then I think he turned around and did it about 45 more times because not everyone in town had been woken up yet.😡 School and work. Another full day. I’m teaching 2 classes and then I have 3 family meetings. The three I had yesterday were good, but two were pretty intense. Those two went long, so I didn’t get a break between any of them. Today should be fine. Supposed to be getting a big ol’ winter storm coming in tomorrow. Yeah, I will believe it when I see it.
  2. Do you have an old refrigerator you can drag out to your front porch? That might be fun, too?
  3. Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!! School and work!! Yesterday ended up crazy, but not as crazy as it could have been. I ended up not driving all the way to the far reaches of the County, as the family at the last minute asked for a Zoom meeting. Which was fine. Then, my cousin texted me in the afternoon and said I was inadvertently left off the guest list for her daughter’s bridal shower and could I come? The shower was last night. So, because I wasn’t going on my little trip, I was able to go to the shower, which was delightful. However, today I’m driving and meeting three other families, but that’s fine. I’m leaving earlier and will be home earlier. Baby has cheer camp again tonight. Last night oldest DD went to the girls’ basketball game. They are advancing in post-season play, which is great. They quite handily beat a team in their division from LA last night.
  4. Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!! School and work!! Gotta drive out to the far reaches of the County today. it’s a nice drive, though, and the weather is supposed to be good. Toto, I’m glad you were able to have a good talk with DD last night.
  5. Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Monday!!😩😩😩😩😩 School and work. I really need another Monday Holiday!! Like….forever.
  6. We churched. DH picked up a peach cobbler at the bakesale. Now I am snuggled up on the couch watching a Hallmark movie and napping. Both at the same time. Simultaneously.
  7. Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Sunday!! Church,!⛪️ So, my bread for the bake sale turned out tolerable. The third and fourth batches did. I was up late. Frustrated am I. You do have to have a feel for the texture of the dough and somehow….I just don’t.
  8. My bread is turning out terrible. I am a pretty good cook, but I am amazingly inconsistent when it comes to baking bread. I don’t know why. it just irritates me.
  9. I worked for a couple of hours outside. It is a beautiful day out, that’s for sure. Sun is shining, temps are perfect. I weeded, fertilized the miniature roses and generally puttered around. My container garden on the back patio is doing all right, in spite of all the damage Lorinda the peacock did. A big fern looks dead, but I cut it back and am watering it, so here’s hoping. Oooh, I got another Booya/h. Two in a row. It’s a gardening Booya/h!!
  10. Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Saturday!! Slept in till 8:00. It was wonderful!! I don’t know what all is happening today. I do know I need to bake for the church bake sale tomorrow. Clean the house.
  11. I’m back. Made it up and down the mountain. Had some delightful conversations and the drive was gorgeous. Much better than sitting in front of my computer all day, which I hate. And back from the AFSA. I hate that place, too. The girls are back from the basketball game. Their school’s girls basketball team won Valley in their division, so I guess they move on to something else.
  12. Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Fri-yay!! School and work!! The girls basketball team at my girls’ school made it to the Valley PlayOffs, and the school is taking a rooter bus to the game today, so the girls are doing that. I am driving up to the mountains to see a couple of families. I haven’t seen them since before Christmas because of weather issues, but I am excited to see them today. Got a cut-and-color yesterday afternoon, so now I am pretty again.
  13. I finished “Agnes Grey”. That was an amazing and powerful little book. I’m still just kind of absorbing it, but the growth of the heroine, her ability to discern what is truly of value in a person and in life, her ability to accept and learn from adversity and become better for it…it was really a good book. I have never in my life wanted to be like a character in a book before like I want to be like Agnes Grey.
  14. Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!! School for some, work for others. Yesterday shortly after I brought the girls home from school Baby starts screaming and crying. She comes over and shows me and there’s this huge chunk of metal hanging out of her mouth. She could hardly talk and couldn’t close her mouth. I tried not to freak out (this is hard for me, because I have a tendency to freak out), but I called the orthodontist and yes, fortunately they were in our town yesterday (they divide their time between offices). I had a hard time explaining things to the lady on the phone, so I gave the phone to Baby and she managed to explain the situation. We went in right away, and the first thing the nurse said when Baby opened her mouth was, “what did you do????” Fortunately, this time she had only been eating a piece of bread, which is legal when you have braces. Anyhow, they fixed it in a short amount of time and we went home. I have no idea what that was all about, but I was so thankful it happened in the afternoon and when their office was in town. I don’t know what we would have done otherwise.
  15. Wow, that’s great. I hope she continues a speedy recovery.
  16. Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!! School and work. Wednesday Night church tonight. That is all.
  17. Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!! School and work!! I’m glad DD’s fever is down, Susan!!
  18. Thank you!! I am really enjoying this book. I love what Kathryn White, assistant curator of the Brontë Museum, says in her introduction, “Charlotte Brontë resented the inequality bitterly, and could not cope with her two positions as governess. In her novel ‘Jane Eyre’, her heroine’s true worth is recognized and she transcends the class barriers, which were firmly in place for Charlotte herself, by marrying her employer, Mr. Rochester. Anne’s novel attacks the system in a different way and finds happiness in strength of character and independence with love and marriage as a bonus rather than the driving force of the novel.”
  19. Wow, I’ve never heard of anything like it. And what states are these in? Booya/h!! A Bucees Booya/h!!
  20. Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Happy President’s Day!! I think George Washington was definitely my favorite president. I learned a lot about him when we visited Mt. Vernon last year. I also liked Theodore Roosevelt. I don’t know what we’re going to do today. I know I need to clean the bathroom. Oldest DD needs track shoes because she’s going out for track, apparently. It is also supposed to rain.
