Today I was on the go constantly from 8:30 this morning until 5:00 tonight. Before that, really, as I was only home for a half-hour in between dropping Corwin off for school and leaving to take Ian and our neighbor's daughter to preschool just after 8:30. After I dropped off the preschoolers, I filled up the gas tank and stopped into HEB where I ( Read more... )

I'm at work this afternoon, but since it's the last day of finals for the semester, we're not very busy. Most of the questions we're getting are of the "Where do I return my books?" variety; nothing very challenging.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that on Monday I also got a pedicure. The combination of summer and not being able to reach my feet all that well any more (and that will only get worse over the next 3 months) means constant open-toed, slip-on shoes. And that means I want my feet to be pretty. So now I have purple toenails! Pretty ( Read more... )
