knock knock....orange you glad?

Ahhh, it's Friday.

I love Friday nights because it's the only time during the week when I feel like I have a legitimate right to relax and not feel guilty for ignoring work. And today is especially good because I finally finished that huge pile of grading that I mentioned a couple posts back. I got up at 5:00 this morning so I could finish grading the last essays before teaching today.

Didn't that stack take you a really long time to finish?

Why, yes, it did. Approximately two weeks.

So don't you have a new, equally large stack of grading to take its place?

I suppose I do. A new stack grew while I was working on the old one.

So how long will this stack take? When will you ever catch up?

Don't ruin my moment.

This week got off to a bad start on Monday already. It only got worse when Mudge made fun of the way I walk. But things started looking up when Eden, one of my roommates from Chicago, sent me photos of her little 1-year-old girl:


She is so cute that I just want to squeeze her. But I know that wouldn't be right.

Orange because I ate a lot of orange things today:

Grapefruit, carrots, cantaloupe--tasty, juicy.

Every weekend I ask Josh if we can run away. Maybe I will get my wish this weekend.

That looks like some juicy grapefruit. I don't know why I'm leaving a comment. Probably because it's my last day of spring break, and I still have a lot of work to do that I don't want to do.
