wow, where has the time gone? i can't believe how busy we've been lately, how full my life has felt.
- i've gotten so much grading in the last four weeks (and for several weeks to come) that i've had to start turning some of the teachers down. i'm also considering doing a little private tutoring to bring in some extra cash. good god, some of the kids need help - though i'm told they're mostly lazy, in addition to stupid. have you noticed a general dumbing down of the teen set or is it just in this neck of the woods?
- ben and dad and i have been having s&b meetings weekly, plugging away on future goals. we are SO excited at the prospect of being at the farmer's market soon and getting ready for easter. which reminds me: i found a fantastic (local) marshmallow woman who somehow hasn't already been swooped up by anyone else. and get this: she's doing corn syrup free marshmallows! have i mentioned that we believe that corn syrup is the work of the devil? no? well, it's true. and she's using our old favorite agave instead! so we're going to do some kid friendly stuff for the spring holidays. alternative peeps anyone? w00t. (email will be sent within a week.)
- my cousin rico (and one of my best friends evah) called me yesterday to tell me that he's coming to visit before he leaves for uganda for the next several months. and in a totally awesome and impromptu and newish way he swooped me up and we're going to see our other cousin bo in san diego next week. just for one night. i managed to backwards engineer babysitting (even r is helping!) and im SO excited. i never do stuff like this.
- kids sound like they're flooding the bathroom. bbl!
