I just finished making an old family recipe for a fruit salad with whipping cream and a custard dressing; I've never tried making this dish before. Not too exciting, except that it worked! It has to chill for 24 hrs before serving, but I can already tell that it's going to be yummy.

Sounds yummy! You don't suppose it would mail well, do you? :-) |

Ok, I just completed one nasty and incoherent vent. So it's time to balance it out with some gratitude and calm.
1) Thanksgiving break starts in 3 hours.
2) I made an awesome plate of cookies for my students this morning. They appreciated it. I enjoyed baking and having someone to eat it.
3) It's a beautiful sunny fall day
4) My house is a wrecky mess, but that no longer bothers me. When I clean it, that's when it will be clean.
5) I've finally put books into my new bookcases at home. They look beautiful, all the books lined up in a row. I know that makes me a geek but I'm happy with that too.
6) I have good water in my water dispenser.
7) I have half my syllabi ready to go for next semester.
8) It's been a really long time since I couldn't find my keys in the morning. They are always with my purse or hanging on the hook I have for them.
9) Only 2 weeks + finals when we get back from Thanksgiving
10) My students were snickering and giggling in class today. Then I realized it was because the stuff I had on my powerpoint slide was supposed to be strange and odd.

I love your inhales, Melba. It all adds up, doesn't it?
My inhale: only one (1) lecture left to write for this term!

I have nothing to grade this break. Peace, quiet, and books to read.

Unfortunately, I think conjugate gives good advice.

Oh! I didn't even think about that. I have a tiny amount of grading to do, but nothing significant. |

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess. Hedgie loves to read. |

The darn Purple/red paper was just declined from another prestigious journal, so there's still that to place somewhere... But right now I don't care! Hee hee! |
