To-do list

[coffeesnob318]

1. Pick up March selection for bluestockings group next month, and The Power of One (by overwhelming recommendation).

2. Buy Tammy's gift for her birthday tomorrow. You know I really love a person when I will brave Guitar Center for her.

3. Practice NOT blinking and staring at students like they're idiots when they ask stupid questions, the answers to which are written on the piece of paper they are holding in their hands!! It's just not nice. It's not their fault that their parents fed them Gerber's when their brains were developing.

4. Research job in Denton (preferably within walking distance from the casa), as gas prices are soon to render my traveling to and from all corners of the Metroplex completely pointless, since apparently I'll soon be paying more in gas and parking to get to my jobs than I earn by working those jobs.

5. Return Grandma's phone call to reassure her that I didn't know the Ft. Worth woman and her son who were killed in Denton, and that the guy who confessed to the crimes is safely behind bars. Leave out the "one psycho down, one million to go" comment.

6. Set aside time in class to teach students that saying, "You can use one page of notes," means exactly "You can use one page of notes." Not two. Not a page and a half. One. Page.

7. Finish The Devil Wears Prada so that I can properly recommend it to all of you.

See what you started? You recommend it, and then everywhere I turn, people are telling me what a great book it is. At least you use your powers for good and not evil. :)

:D It is a great book--my fav. Been reading it at least once or twice a year since I was what? sixteen? seventeen? the movie is, in many ways, quite different but still isn't bad. I saw the movie in a tenth grade history class, didnt' know it came from a book--a year or so later I came across the book in the library, checked it out and read it in two days. when I finished and closed the cover, I stared at the back of it for a few seconds, flipped it over and started again immediately LOL

Yeah, that #4, I think I'll put that one on my to do list too... (though change Denton to Visalia)... as this 40 minute drive to work is killing my finances.

Prices are bad in Texas; I bet they're horrendous in California!

Yeah, the best I can find is 2.17 a gallon... and that's at a hole in the wall no brand stuff... the chevron that i used to go to before they hit really high is at 2.25...

8. Prepare for fun visit from TJ & e-mail him your address and some favorites for your birthday present that I will probably bring with me and give you in person. (provided that is acceptable with you) :-)

Yay! Presents! In-person is a present in and of itself.

I'm working on my Amazon list. I'll email it to you later today.
