I have been chided for letting so much time lapse since my last post. Jill just explained to me last night her vision for alternating blog posts, so, not only have I been letting my end of the blogging bargain fall by the wayside, I've been holding her up. This is an attempt to make up some ground.
It's not as though I've been entirely idle, though. Here are some of the things I (often we) have been into for the past month, working backwards:
-Today I got myself tested for tuberculosis. The test gets checked in two days. I haven't coughed up any blood so, I think things look good.
-This past weekend I took a pair of teacher certification tests. Hopefully the Praxis will be the last standardized test I ever take, maybe, for a while.
-We saw a star show at the planetarium. It was free (the best sauce) because of some of my students who were presenting there. I should thank them.
-Jill got to come to school and watch the sophomores put on a science demonstration show for some visiting fifth graders. She also got to see me entertain sixty elementary school children for a while and yell louder than she has ever heard me. I'm sure that's the part that stuck with her.
-We went out to sushi, feeling very urbane and sophisticated about the whole thing.
-We (mainly I) have watched three and a half seasons of 30 Rock. I'm less than proud of that one.
-We visited Ball State University, where my sister will be attending in the fall. I was supposed to do homework in the car. I didn't.
-We made bagels and roasted our own peanuts. Jill was excited about these. It was very domestic. You'll likely hear about them later.
-We started attending a small group at church. It's been great and we were definitely spoiled by full meals two weeks in a row. The experience has taught me that I am terrible with names and I ignore my lack of knowledge long past when it's acceptable to ask. I've been doing a lot of back door conversing, trying to get people to say their own names.
-I shaved my beard.
-Jill shaved her legs (I assume).
As I'm sure you can see, it's not like I haven't been busy. Tell Jill; back me up.
