happy audit season

So I walk in to my classroom today, and on my desk is a missing computer mouse with a note from my students:

“You’re $15 short. We took your mouse instead. –The IRS”

Nice.

Spring updates

Spring is here! Weee! It’s so warm out, after all that winter! Kevin and I planted a garden outside. We let Emmy join us while we worked, so she explored the great outdoors that is our balcony. I had to run downstairs, so I waved at Emmy from the ground. She looked so perplexed that I was downstairs! “How did you get down there?” she seemed to be asking. Anyway, our garden is just…soil and a raspberry twig. But hopefully by summer we will have all kinds of flowers, and raspberries, and parsley!

Congratulations to Lise, who is engaged! Yay! Emily says too many of her friends are engaged…but I don’t know, I still know plenty of single people.

So you know how last year, Stephy randomly wrote “wedding!” at the end of one of her xanga posts? I get it now. You can’t really tell people that that’s you life because it seems kind of lame. But … wedding planning is a lot of work, and while the daily routine is still there, the wedding is just constantly running through your head as you work out all those details. I look forward to seeing everyone this summer, in any event.

Wedding!
