Coco-MaryAnn

The guy who works at Teahouse Noodles on Murray Hill makes going there such a fun experience!  He refuses to let you call the sauce Coco-Ginger, especially when jazz is playing in the restaurant.  He comes up with the tastiest combinations if you leave it up to him!  Yum!  We had dinner for 3 for under $20.

I am so thankful that I have new students and another chance to work with the new French 2 book!  So far, my students seem very nice and more interested in working with me than my first semester freshmen.  I will miss teaching French 4, but I am SO grateful to only have 2 preps this semester.  I can already feel the difference in my stress level!

l'examen final

I got my French 4 final exam completed from home!  Sent it to the copy center from my computer.  I stayed home today because the weather was bad - not sure if I made the right decision, but it's so hard to tell at 5:30 in the morning.  I heard my sub was a real treat!  I can't wait to hear the stories on Monday!

Thank God that Jon Stewart is back on the air!  Now if only our cable company would broadcast Comedy Central in HD . . .

rotisserie chicken

Whoever invented rotisserie chicken is a genius!  It's quick, easy and delicious!  We have it at least once a week and today was one of the those days!  Yum!

One of the good things about my job is that I can accrue sick days for years.  I now have 180 and I used one yesterday to stay home with Calvin.  The weather was terrible on our side of town and I did not want to drive with my son in the back seat.  We had a nice day staying cozy in the house.  We baked cupcakes and put together puzzles.
