What a busy life I lead
Friday night, I read four chapters in my Organizational Communications textbook, highlighting key points (i.e., what I think is going to be on the test).
Saturday, I got up at 8:30 (ah, bliss) and went grocery shopping while DH made breakfast. I did laundry, and vacuumed, and we went to Sam's. DH went to a meeting at church, and I did homework while he was there. I met him there at 6:00 for another meeting, then had a choir practice after. We stayed up and talked for a while, but got to sleep at a reasonable hour.
Sunday, we got up and had a quick breakfast, then went to church. I sang in a choir. I love to sing. We sounded wonderful. We had lunch when we got home. Pasta with Tuna Sauce. Eh. After lunch, we played Scrabble while little boy played on the computer. I won by making two triple words at once by making adding the word STRAPS to DIVOT, making DIVOT plural. DH had been decisively ahead until that point, because he started with ZIPPY, with the Z on a double letter, and it was a double word to boot. I ended up beating him by ten points. We took turns on the computer, and then we played Chutes and Ladders, and Candy Land (twice) with the little boy. There was a beautifully noisy thunderstorm in the late afternoon. High winds and much lightning. Very cool. I did math homework. We had burritos for dinner.
Today, after I got home from school, I worked on a cover letter for a job as a Computer Technician with the St. Tammany Parish School Board. Dinner was Italian Spinach Dumplings, or strangolapreti (priest strangler's). Oh, my they are tasty. Brenda, they are so extremely easy and sinfully high fat. You must try them! I did dishes and read blogs and another chapter in my Organizational Communications text.
I still have not e-mailed Lynda. She sent me a pithy e-mail today, complaining. It said: "Ahem."
I have also not responded to an e-mail from the president of the GED test service I program for, asking when I will have the French version of the test ready for scoring.
Now, I'm going to bed.

Speaking of Sunday morning, while you were getting ready to go/in transit to church, I was driving YS to the Aquarium. On I-12, we passed a car with a license plate holder bearing the secret code phrases "RULDS2?" above the plate and "CTR" below. It was kinda liberating to drive past them, sporting a 3-day beard, wearing shorts, and drinking coffee.
The St. Tammany Parish school system isn't a bad employer, from what I can see. DW works for them.
That really sounds like a nice calm family weekend. I am impressed, maybe Ozzie and Harriet might finally have someone other than the Osbourns to replace them.
(Really, it does sound nice.)
My life is mostly very pleasant. Not much excitement. I really prefer it that way. Excitement is way overrated. What my life lacks in drama it more than makes up for in contentment.
Hmm. Ozzie and Harriet? If it makes a difference, I did not vacuum in a dress and pearls. And DH never wears sweaters.
Hey, Joe, I liked the one Osbournes episode I watched. DW was appalled that I was laughing at it.
Yes, excitement is vastly overrated as a day-to-day thing. It gets really tiring. Either that or it's just too [fill in the blank] HOT IN LOUISIANA!
