Photo Update

Pictures to follow, but I'm going to make dinner first... Will I actually post them today. I plan to...?

(in response to Holli's comment) Okay... but if it the excuse "I was watching LOST" works, then I should be off the hook. Season 2 rocked!

I interviewed at Iowa, thought it went horribly, was offered a TA position, and accepted the placement. I realize I should have kept blogland in the loop, but I didn't make the official decision until a week ago. In terms of how often I blog, that's like five minutes ago!!!! I'm sad about not moving to Mankato. Then I realized that the biggest reason I wanted to go to that school was because of its location. (Most of my readers are from this area...) Iowa is a stronger career move. Since I am quite decidedly still single and can do whatever I want, I'm going to have to go with the better option career-wise. The financial side of it was pretty hard to turn down too. Is it all about the money? A little no, and a little more yes. I like free schooling. :) ("free-ish" if we're getting technical) I'm really excited because the position comes with options for cheap health and dental benefits. You know you're old when you're excited about dental insurance...



My sixth grade student handed me this picture today. I'm not exactly sure what it means. I also don't really care what it means. It's good for a laugh, I guess.



Check out this SWEET plate I made with friends! I'm really pleased with it. Of course there are a few places I wish I had put a little more glaze, but it adds to the charm. "Mistakes" add character! The plate is sitting on a mirror. Don't let this picture confuse you. I was too tired to take another one and I couldn't wait until tomorrow for natural lighting. Sorry...



I'm going to sit back and watch the penultimate episode of season 2 and the season finale. Maybe you didn't need to know, but I did need to use a big word in this post.

Enjoy the last of season two... I'm ALMOST done with season 3.

Congrats on going to Iowa! Woo hoo! I'm sure it's exciting to have that decision made. You'll do great.

So...DO you like bananas?

Thanks for the pictures! And watching LOST trumps any other activities planned, so you would have been off the hook. Because LOST is "off da hook".

Congrats on Iowa. :) Go Hawkeyes!

I like bananas more than Debra but less than monkeys.

Lost is definitely off da hook!

Woot, definitely "Go Hawks"!

I rather enjoyed the monkey sketch. Apparently, enjoying bananas is the prerequisite for becoming a monkey, but that's fine.
