My students want to write like Stephenie Meyer !!!! ACK! I apparently have my work cut out for me.


Then again... if they write like her they will make a lot of money off of it. Maybe I shouldn't try to train them out of it.

This weekend will be my first since December where I won't have a load the size of an elephant weighing me down. It is so sweet-I can't even begin to describe.
I might even make my own batch of extremely yummy creamed eggs on toast for Easter (hard-boiled eggs cut up into a white sauce and then it is poured over crumbled toast). I think it is my favorite of all holiday foods. I will probably also make custard for dad's birthday on Sunday. It will be an eggy weekend for sure.

Yay! Things have slowed down a bit and the sun is shining.

I saw this funny picture on someone's blog and thought I would repost.

Wow, it's been a while. I guess that's what happens when work takes over your life. I just have 40 papers to grade and grades to submit and the Pines HOA taxes left to do and I will be basically a free woman for a week. Cool. Well, wait, I have to set up my class for next semester, so not really free. It will be so much nicer to know what is going on with the class this semester though-to not be teaching it for the first time.
My instructional design job is keeping me busy. My design lead (the person who checks all my work) loves me, and my new project manager (the person who keeps track of the hours for the projects I am working on and how long it is taking me) and I have not gotten off to the best start. The hours have been over on the projects and she blames me, but my design lead doesn't. Hopefully the relationship will improve.
I still live at Lisa's, which has been both very generous of them and very fun/fantastic for me. One more month until I can move back into my apartment.
I have realized what everyone who has had to suffer around me in the morning already knows: I am not a morning people person. If I have a busy day than the sooner I have to see other people, the sooner my day begins, so ugh. I try to avoid seeing people in the morning for as long as I can. This is one bad habit and one I will have to break.
General Conference was fantastic and I look forward to reviewing the talks. It was nice to see family again. With my working so many hours I feel like I haven't seen them in forever.
