Back in the Dirt

I had a nice round of teaching in the garden today, even though my administrative duties are piling up. I'm discovering that this job is not the most suited to half-time, but I'm trying to learn to expect less of myself (there's a work ethic for one to live by!)

Sorry for the lack of blog upkeep. Here's what you've missed: sick, miss work, healthier, work, sick, miss work, healthier, work, sick...in a vastly less-complicated-than-real-life-trama-and-turmoil nut shell. But enough about me. Wait, no. Not enough about me. Gail memed me to tell you 5 things about myself. As if a blogger needs an excuse!

1. I've never found a Vietnamese spring roll better than those at Pho Pasteur in Boston, but I keep looking. It is all about the peanut sauce and the right noodle to veggie ratio.
2. I've built my baby's music collection by stealing from the library.Well, not really stealing. You know what I mean, come on...Dan Zanes is awesome, btw, just not super kid appropriate, as evidenced by "like every honest fellow I drinks my lager beer, like every jolly fellow I take my whiskey clear."
3. I have a proven methodology for picking out kittens. Huge ears + big paws + long tail = big cat
4. I am an "E" network addict. I've seen most episodes of the "Girls Next Door". For those of you sane and intelligent, this is a show that chronicles the exploits of Hugh Hefner's three young, blond girlfriends. What's the appeal? I have no freakin' clue, I just can't turn away.
5. As a tween I played hide-n-seek in the corn field next to my house. There is nothing more eerie.

I tag Carrie (not linking you in case you want to protect your kid's privacy) and Adam.
