It’s beginning to look a lot like the end of the semester

What I did this weekend:
~ took Robert to ballet
~ prepared the menu for the coming week
~ based on said menu, prepared the grocery list
~ shopped
~ went to Indigo and knocked at least six names off the present list
~ went to TB’s birthday party
~ went with Dina and her MIL to a fair trade fair and knocked a few more names off the list
~ invented a new version of my MIL’s cheese and onion bread pudding
…oh, and corrected 52 essays.

~ laundry
~ get enough sleep
~ see Casino Royale
~ endear myself to my family.
Three more weeks!

  1. Fifty-two essays in a weekend???! On top of all the other stuff you did?! You must be some kind of essay-correcting machine! I couldn’t have knocked off that many in a weekend, if I’d done nothing else!
    But, then, I think I have previously acknowledged on this blog that I am/was a compulsive “editor”/corrector. Try as I did, I was unable to go past an error or a badly constructed sentence without making a mark on the paper. Period. Could. Not. Do. It.
    I bow at your feet.

  2. The assignment was 500 words. I was giving feedback in terms of content, structure and language – believe me, there were some red-ink-covered pages.

  3. MIL – stands for greatest mother-in-law ever!!!
    Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch—and special tea served in unique glasses, how cool was that….
