MMMMMMMmmmmmmMMMMMMM! Beef patties!

Kat took the words right out of my mouth. Sadly, no patty in it.

I hate writing those letters, Kat, the "how do I say 'average' nicely?" ones. For those students, I tend to focus on the student's progress since I can't necessarily praise the writing itself.

That's a beautiful pendant.

And, oh, ouch, Kat. I've been on the receiving end of a kind dismissal, and, as much as it stung me, I didn't stop to consider that it probably sucked for the professor too.

ICompletelyON, here's Matilda's first recognizably human figure drawing, from her visit to the pediatrician on Monday.

At mcd, the cashier asked me twice if I wanted large, I said no. She then proceded to tell me that large was bigger. I got short with her.

Though, at first, I wondered why you were thanking a high end designer for the internet.

Me too! Sad.

ita, the other guy is Daniel Eric Gold. [link]

I just dropped off many many flyers for the Senate race here. Then on my way home (only a couple of blocks) I was sure I was going to walk by an Au Bon Pain or similar, but I didn't. And I was STARVING. So I had to run home and eat a Hot Pocket. The end.

If you were going to get a bagel at APB, it would have sucked.

I like their cheese bagels! Not as bagels per se, but as cheesy bread products. Anyway, I wanted a sandwich.

JZ, Love her drawing! Oh! I've been meaning to ask, how did you approach preschool for Matilda?

I have five more letters to write. I just finished one for a kid whose capabilities are not matched by his school record. It was really fun to write his letter because I really like this student and I've known him for 2 years in a variety of settings (advisory, English, Journalism, Academic Decathlon) and he's just kinda a cool kid (he picks up recycling every day at school, even though he is constantly mocked, because Dad doesn't have and refuses to get a job and he wants to help his mom in anyway he can).

Mintze's Blintzes (non-dairy, but include egg whites) are the best packaged Blintzes I've ever had. Not like home made, but really really good.

Thanks, Jesse!

I swear by Sal's Suds for a green dishwashing soap, but I'm not sure if it's dishwasher-friendly or not, since I don't have one.

We braved the sleet for a yummy breakfast at Tom's Restaurant this morning (under new ownership, but so far the only change they've made is to open on Sundays) and are now looking at a loooong afternoon inside. Hopefully at least one of us will get a nap.
