Today was boring, so after sleeping most of the day while Jesse killed aliens, we drove to Eastland to have dinner and get an Allan wrench.  Well, we got sidetracked at WalMart (they have a real one in Eastland) and ended up buying almost $300 worth of groceries.  And a cooler.  And grand theft auto 5.  Just the essentials, of course.  With a cooler full of groceries in the car, we weren't really able to go to dinner, but that's ok, because groceries are worth it.  Especially since we found Tillamook cheese!  Jesse sent a picture of it to Ryan and he had us pick up a couple loaves of cheese for him.
I've had back luck with food lately.  I burned my second pizza this week tonight, and this morning we ended up with a million chewy waffles and cold bacon because I kept having problems figuring out the waffles.  But we have this fancy new waffle maker that flips over and has a timer on the side, so I had to use it.

But a few days ago I cooked steak for the first time, and that actually worked! I even got Jesse to eat salad. It was truly a miracle.

But that's enough about food.  I spent most of yesterday talking to Courtney about mermaids.  Apparently they are real, and there are documentaries about them that are quite convincing.  I must admit, I'm not a believer, but I didn't watch the full two hour discovery channel documentary thing.  However, Courtney and I did decide that she should move to Texas and dedicate her life to searching for mermaids in the Gulf of Mexico. 



Like I said, I may be losing my marbles. I mean, this is how I entertain myself lately:

Other than playing with safety glasses and going shopping, the most exciting moment of my week was when in rained yesterday!  It rained like Oregon for two days.  I went running in my bright yellow Seaside sweatshirt, and then did ballet in the front yard in the rain until my phone got wet and stopped letting me change the song.

So then I took a hot shower (usually it's 95 degrees in the bathroom upstairs, so I never take hot showers), made myself a not-super-awesome-but-better-than-nothing white mocha, and sat on the porch with Anna Karenina and listened to the rain. It was lovely.

I certainly am looking forward to starting teaching, but I am leery of toddler classes. I just don't know what they're going to be like, and I like to have things planned out. Oh well...gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. It's good to get 'em young, I just wish I didn't have to be the one to get them.
