June 30, 2009 - Tuesday

Cloudy in the afternoon, but not rainy.

Today was a good day. I got up on time but there wasn't any news on, and we hadn't magically started to receive CNN or BBC News overnight either. I did find Ghost and watched the last bit of that. I still didn't like it. Too schmaltsy for me.

I watched some of my weekend TV, then the news. I had to go to work a little earlier today because my first class was at 3. I ate lunch and then did dishes. I was out the door at 2 pm.

At school I was busy for a bit. I vacuumed, dusted, checked lessons, prepped my tea service and then waited for my student. She was a little late, but we had quite a good class when she came. I had two more today as well, each separated by an hour. It's an odd amount of time. It sounds like it should be enough to get a lot of necessary things done, but it isn't really. Especially, when I had to stop 10 to 15 minutes before the time was up to make sure I was ready for my student in case he or she came early.

After my last class, I finished up and called F to come and get me. He was driving, but came. We went to Gusto tonight and both had an okay dinner. I freak the staff out because I don't order rice with my meal. But, when you're having chicken, hamburg and potatoes, why on earth do you need it? Oh yeah, there's corn on the plate, but I usually don't eat it. Not a huge fan.

We came home and F did homework for a while. I asked if it was okay if we put American Idol on and it was. It was quite good tonight, but...the wrong person was put out. I dunno about the people who phone in. What were they thinking? I did a lot of crocheting while I was watching. I'm close to finishing the second ball of yarn. I suppose that means that I should roll another one soon! Fun. The clapochet is going well. I was tooling around on Ravelry today and looked at other people's clapochets. It was interesting. The same pattern, but many differences in yarn and tension meant that there were some very interesting scarves out there. This one is going well, but the tension on the edges isn't quite right. I'm not sure how to fix it. I was thinking about frogging it, but I really don't want to do that.

Anyway, that's it for me. It was a good day. I'm off tomorrow, but I have a huge pile of things I need to do. I have to proof then send my column, book our inside Canada tickets and maybe even run to the bank. And, it's Canada day tomorrow. Yay! Hurray :-)

Got to go, night folks!
