And The Sun Again

The sun is not giving up. It wants to keep on while I'm ready for it to just quit. I'm ready for fall, but my weather predictor says it will be 90 degrees on Tuesday. Doesn't that old sun know it's officially fall? And that Tuesday is the first day of October!?

I had a sub job on Thursday that came in randomly from the system, so it's good to know that that is working. I had a extremely good class of fourth graders who enjoyed guessing my age. One girl actually guessed that I was in my forties and I said "what? Umm. No, and now since you think I'm in my forties, you get to answer the next math question." The day went great and left me with an even greater feeling about subbing. If I can even do okay at it when I don't know the teacher, then I might just able to swing this! I kept having people check on me ("how are you doing?") and I felt totally in control. Awesome!

I've been watching too much Freaks and Geeks lately, in these days where I haven't been working. For those of you not in the know, Freaks and Geeks is probably my favorite tv show, if not one of my favorites. It was only on for a season when I was in high school and then was released later on dvd. Hilarious show. Set in 1980, and the soundtrack is just great. Because of all this Freaks and Geeks watching I've had a craving for some classic rock. So I went over to Everday Music to pick up some classics, such as Cream's "Disraeli Gears", Boston's self-titled debut, and The Who's "Who's Next". Luckily, Everyday Music deals in a lot of used CDs, so i was able to pick them up for cheap. Cheap classic rock.

Thursday was the season premiere of The Office and in Tabor House (and co.) fashion we had dinner and dessert while watching. What a great show. I was going to make cookies, except then I worked and didn't have the time. So I whipped up a special ice cream pie ala My Tiny Kingdom. It was a hit.

Things haven't been to exciting these days, although yesterday was a personal best for me when I ran over 7 miles. I was beyond excited and took it easy this morning with 4 miles. To be able to state that I did "an easy 4" is a miracle in and of itself.

I finished Dana's crocheted blanket and am sad that I have to wait until December to give it to her.

You could give Dana the blanket when they come up to Portland mid-October.
