thursday.....

ok, so....my class ends this evening....and i have 3 folks who have yet to turn in their 4-page papers....and who have not attended class since the papers were due......i have no plans to sit and wait til 8:30 for them to show up to take the final....hopefully everybody will turn out to take the test, and i will be home by 6:30.......the rain is to continue through tomorrow.....i am involved in a major activity tomorrow for all 4th graders in my work county....an outdoor event that will be canceled if it rains.....i have plenty i can do with my work time should the rain come.......but sadly, if it rains, i cannot get caught up on my pre-book club home projects...like repainting lawn furniture......speaking of bookclub.....my menu was decided yesterday at the krogers by virtue of the manager's specials.....packages of fresh whole wheat raviolis were marked down to $1.75....and marinated fresh turkey loins that appeared to weigh 1 pound each were $1.98 after the clerk took off the $100 off coupon that was on each one....wow......go we are having grilled turkey loin and pasta salad......sounds like a plan to me.....now all i need is the champagne.....in slaughterhouse-five billy pilgrim sits in his yard after his daughter's wedding, drinking champagne and waiting for the spaceship.......
