Good morning! So, let's see yesterday's list:
- decoupage my bathroom cabinet
- watch "Away We Go"
- send care packages out
- wrap up my nephews birthday presents
- finish up Road Trip mix cd
- make mix cd cover (thank goodness I have photoshop on my work computer that I can use)
- finish grant application
- clean the kitchen
- find recipes for the figs I bought at the farmer's market
I made this delicious pizza with figs, prosciutto and brie. My friend, tiffanybbrown, mentioned gorgonzola and making it a "white" pizza so I will have to try that one soon before figs go out of season. I have to say, it was delicious. I saw the recipe online somewhere after sifting through pages and pages of fig recipes. There were not that many savory dishes except for some appetizers.
I was really surprised by how delicious it turned out. Yum!
Also, I went to this deli down the street called Monte Carlo/Pinnochio's. It's an Italian deli that specializes in imported products. I have tried their restaurant and it is good but I've never bought anything in the store part. The deli guy was super helpful. Poor guy though I could not hear a word he was saying. He was really soft spoken and the place was busting. I even did that thing where you cup your ear so you can hear the person better. Yeah! I'm OLD! OLD! After I did it, I thought, "Oh gawd. Did I just do that? Dang it!" It was sad...but what can you do? I went to a lot of shows, I live under a flight path, things are loud! *shakes cane* LOL!
Today :
- email Hill about Elvis Costello (free show!)
- make breakfast

- go to the shelter and help with the show

- read some of the Roald Dahl Treasury I just checked out. Reading it again I am struck by how creepy his stories are - Enormous Crocodile trying to eat children with cheap trips. Yeah...CREEPY! But I love it! They also are great for reading out loud!
Today, I was helping out one of my students and I noticed he had on an English Beat shirt. Ok, the kid's a pre-teen, tweenie, whatever, but you know...I thought I would ask anyway.
Me: "So, do you like the English Beat?"
Kid: "Huh?"
At this point, I just need to drop it. And he asked me to help him with something and I just could not drop it.
Me: "Do you even know who the English Beat is?"
Kid: "I don't know. I've never even heard of them."
Me: "Do you know the Specials?" (ok, last year, a kid was totally obsessed with the Specials!!)
Kid: just looks at me...like I'm crazy.
Me: "Madness?"
Kid: blank stare
Me: "Do you know what ska is?"
Kid: "No."
Me: "That's one of my favorite bands. And you are wearing their shirt?"
Kid: smiles...
Me: "You are such a poser."
I KNOW! I am so mean! I really said that! What the hell is wrong with me? I mean, he's a kid. But seriously, don't wear a shirt with a band on it and NOT know anything about the band! Why are you wearing that? At least know ONE song. ONE! Is that too much to ask for?!?
He pretty much ran out of the building at the point...
I totally suck though because he will NEVER wear that shirt in front of me again.

It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down.
It's wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing I have to do, have to do.
It's raining again,
I follow the Christmas lights down town.
I'm leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
Round and round,
I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.
Just walking along,
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,
I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,
The sun and the rain.
Scraps of paper(???) washing down the drain.
I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.
It's raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
I've been feeling so low(low)
But now everything is on my side
The sun and the rain.
Walk with me fill my heart again
I hear the rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.
I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.
Do de do do de do do do
Do de do de do de do do do
