I think there’s a piece of candy corn stuck where I once had a wisdom tooth. Why am I eating candy corn at 8 in the morning, you ask? An answer I cannot give. But I love its sugary goodness.

I have about 7 student conferences coming up, at 8:45. I do not look forward to them but I do look forward to the day passing. At 2:30, I am giving a presentation to the new TAs. They haven’t taught the research class yet so i get to talk about why I teach the strand I teach. Fun. Sometime before lunch, I plan on calling my Honda salesman – let’s call him Billy – and finding out what the status of my car is. I am hoping – but not getting myy hopes UP – that it will be here by week’s end. I hate waiting – it’s true. But I want this new car so much, it’s difficult to put it into words. It’s more like a MEEP!

Gray and rainy today but not really cold. In fact, it’s pretty warm and muggy, which makes me feel like I should have just stayed home.  Actually, strike that: it’s just plain crappy outside today. I mean, it’s damnd dark out there.

If my stomach wasn’t already feeling wavy, I’d get a coffee.

If I didn’t feel guilty about it, I’d eat a piece of chocolate.

If I were king of the forrrreeeeest…..
