buttons are not toys

Because otherwise I just listen to something over and over before moving on to my next victim.  

And also I like to broaden the horizons every now and again.

Ugh. It is no fun being a red-head in the summer.  Or at least being a red head in the summer who has to stand up at a wedding in two weeks in a strapless dark purple dress and does not want to be lobster red whilst doing that.

Regardless, I really should be carrying sunscreen with me at all times, at least until the wedding, and I always forget.  (The forgetting part is nothing new, trust me).  The worst is when I am teaching in public school.  As soon as the weather gets nice you almost always end up taking the class outside for something.  This is just asking for trouble.  And by trouble, I mean weird burn patterns.

Sometimes there just isn’t enough shade.

Yesterday we popped into Chapters to see about getting something for Momma for Mother’s Day (yes we are good, on the ball children) and I just wanted to buy all the books.  But at the same time I wanted to buy none of the books.  It was a strange dichotomy.

But really, every time I enter a bookstore I want to leave with books and rarely do.  Apparently I have developed patience of a sort, seeing as I like to wait for things like paperback versions or the whole series to come out in a box, mostly because it is ultimately cheaper that way. 

Hooray for the library or I would be on my way to being a crazy person.  Because that’s what happens when you are book deprived.

aka: I am bored.

Today is science, biology to be more specific, and every class has involved work from the textbook.  Which is great, except that there is really nothing for me to do but walk around every so often and make sure no one has any questions.  Which they don’t.  Not that I would necessarily know the answer anyways. 

Sigh.

The lot in life for a supply teacher in high school, at least sometimes.  Fortunately I have a couple of math days later on this week, so that should be lovely.  Or at least I stand a better chance at being a helpful resource.

Went to see this Friday with baby bro and it was fabulous as anticipated.  Joss Whedon gets me every time.

I was a good daughter and did some yard work.  This is something of a rare impulse on my part.  I won’t say it was fun, but it was kind of a perfect day for it.  Then I baked some brownies because Dad wanted them and made dinner because somebody needs to.  After that it was Zumba class, a short run and TV with Momma before bed.  It was a nice sort of day off.

Sometimes I feel like I am busy all the time, and while I realize that is not exactly the case, I am actually busy a lot.  I picked up a couple of students to tutor and am now doing that four nights a week.  Add that to teaching whenever I can and working every weekend at my crappy office job …

Well it’s a good thing the days are getting longer.  I don’t need help filling in the hours, that’s for sure.

I almost forgot to tell you - we went out for dinner Monday night and had Moroccan.  And I had Moroccan too, or Moroccan-ish at least.  I was seriously contemplating the caesar salad, as per the usual, but I was brave and had the falafel instead.  It was surprisingly delicious!

And for dessert there was creme brule, which was also quite lovely.

So there you have it, two new foods I am now willing to eat.

Yeah Star Wars Day!

I was hoping there would be one of these out there so I could share it.
