Hodgepodge

Well, I’ve been busy working…subbing and getting the last of my grading done. I’m almost finished! Woohoo!

People keep asking me what I’m going to do this summer. The answer to that is…um, I have no idea. I’ll be subbing until the last possible day to sub, and my pays are two weeks behind. That’ll get me through to the end of June. I start teaching a college class in mid-July, which will get me through half of July and most of August. So I have a couple of gaps that I’m going to need to fill in…I don’t think I can bring myself to work retail or restaurant again. I suppose I might put my name in at a few temp agencies, but they have so few actual temp positions. Hrm. Suggestions are welcome. 🙂

I hope all the mothers out there had a lovely Mother’s Day. I met my parents in Ellicottville for lunch, which was very nice. My mom and Rand’s mom both got the Mother’s Day calligraphy gifts I had made and posted on my Etsy site. I think they were both pleased.

Yesterday was my Dad’s birthday, which I forgot to mention on the blog, but did not forget to acknowledge. Happy Birthday, Dad!

I finished a couple of books yesterday…As Seen on TV, chicklit by Sarah Mlynowski (borrowed from LT!), and The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke. I enjoyed both. I didn’t like The Thief Lord nearly as much as I liked Inkheart, though. Today, I’ve started The Amber Spyglass, the third part of the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman.

Monday’s Heroes was awesome, of course. I’m both excited and a little sad about next week’s season finale.

Watched Idol last night, and I think maybe Jordin’s going to go this week. I think Melinda’s proven herself to be an incredibly versatile performer over the past few weeks, and she rocks! Also, Blake was very good, and he’s very popular among the young girls. We’ll see how that goes…

  1. Why does your post have tomorrow’s date?

    But that’s not my real comment, that’s an aside. My real comment is that you didn’t mention your dad’s birthday on the blog, but that you didn’t forget to wish him a happy birthday. Which makes me wonder, your dad reads your blog? That’s cool. I’m pretty sure that if you asked anyone with a genetic relationship to me what my blog URL is they would have no idea how to even find out.

  2. The timestamp is screwed up, and I thought I had fixed it, but apparently it didn’t take. sigh.

    My mom reads my blog regularly (hi, mom!), as does Rand’s mom (hi, Rand’s mom!). My dad reads occasionally, but yes, he does know that it exists and where to find it. 😉

  3. Jordin mutilated “Livin’ on a Prayer” and hasn’t done so hot the last couple of weeks either. She *should* go home … and Melinda *should* win, but I can’t help but think Jordin’s going to win…
