3. Closed my eyes at 5:40 for about 10 minutes.
4. Ran for 35 minutes.
5. Went to school.
6. Taught a poetry class (by "taught" I mean: read some poems aloud, talked about them, tried to get students to see poems as "made objects," enthused about language, tried to get them to talk, posed many dualities, wished them well)
7. Sped to Son's school to eat healthy, salad lunch with him
8. Got coffee at local shop (and biscotti!)

10. Helped kids write adjectives and nouns on papers, along with colorful pictures (this might not sound difficult, but they don't really get "adjectives": my favorite? Pimply Pickles...good job G.S.)
11. Did the carpool thing successfully, despite large truck driving apple eating mother parked in cross walk (insert swearing rant here)
12. Purchased dinner at Whole Paycheck (hello sushi!)
13. Purchased necessary beverage at UDABC (can you say Big House Red?)

24. Flipped through shows and decided, "Yes, they really are ALL that stupid." But isn't Rufus Sewell the bomb? (do they still say that? "the bomb"?)
