Good things this week.
Overall, I am feeling a lot better than I did, say, two weeks ago at this time. I think my class assignments (for the classes I am taking) are spacing out a little bit better, and we got some good news tonight about not having to keep our online journals quite as much. Hooray!
Other good things this week:
-We are having dinner with my friend Kim tomorrow.
-We will be having dinner and seeing a play with Brian and Sarah on Friday.
-My students acted like angels when my professor came to observe my class. (ANGELS. WHO ARE THESE STUDENTS, AND WHERE IS MY ACTUAL CLASS?) (Actually, scratch that. I don’t want to know where my actual class is. Because they are probably up to some shenanigans. I’ll keep this one, thanks.)
-Speaking of which . . . The Amazing Library Race that I created actually worked! They did it! And they liked it! Yay!
-Mike made pumpkin pie.
-Our neighbor’s birthday was Saturday and we went to his birthday party. And stayed until 11:00 pm.
-When my back was hurting yesterday, Mike bought us a new heating pad. He is totally my favorite.
-I have been reading more this week. (My totals for this year are woefully bad. My brain, it is rotting.)
-I made an individual pizza for dinner.
-I bought new clothes on Sunday!
-That house with all the awesome signage now has a new sign! And it’s another homemade one! Are you ready for it? I don’t have a picture, but it says, “A woman belongs in the house . . . THE WHITE HOUSE!” And it has another giant picture of Sarah Palin. I don’t know about you, but I am somehow getting the impression that these are Palin voters, not McCain voters. They really like some giant Sarah Palin at that house.
-The fact that the house with all the awesome signage doesn’t have the signs up when I am driving to work, but they do when I come home. I assume they take their signs down at night so they won’t get stolen. May I just say . . . driving by in the afternoons is one of the best parts of my day. I am always excited to see what will happen there next.
Simple pleasures, gentle readers. Life is all about simple pleasures.

This ‘Mike’ sounds incredible. What do you pay him? What would it cost me to get something like this? Maybe in a female version? I want in.

you time your reading? or do you count how many books? I’m intrigued. I love to read.

I count books.
2007 totals here.
2006 totals here.
(And you are definitely right about the pie.)
