Up to the Date

I'm on my third Harry Potter book this month while Drew is still trudging through Malcolm X. Did I mention that I've also completed an entire unit lesson plan? I mean it's not like Drew has a job or anything...oh wait. I don't think Drew is going to finish his book in the next 4 days so he will be behind on our book challenge.


I start in my placement tomorrow and I'm like a kid the night before Christmas. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.

This is my new workspace. The desk just wont' let me spread out like I need.

In other news, I'm afraid our puppy is sick. He's a little mopey. Perhaps, like the rest of us, he's ready for warm weather. Honestly, I'm a winter girl through and through but something is changing inside me. I'm ready to utilize our rooftop outdoor space for the first time. I'm ready to be able to take Ike to eat with us downtown and eat outdoors. And I don't want to have to worry about people finding warmth for the night.


But I'll miss drinking warm beverages all day long and I'll miss turning on my fireplace. And I will dread having to shave my legs. Because full disclosure I've just stopped altogether.


Our Christmas décor is finally down and Drew re-worked our whole storage situation so that we don't have to get a storage unit! Huzzah! Never underestimate the engineering power of a man who is afraid he may have to pay $30 a month to store a Christmas tree.

This is Ike rocking the elevator. He owns this building.

 

 

I'm off to read something about a place called Azkaban. I'm no "Potter-head" as my sister says but I'm learning a few terms. Most of them I mispronounce and don't understand. (I totally thought that a phoenix was an owl. Drew is such a Potter snob when he corrects me).
