You Are So Lucky!!!

First, you all are so lucky that I'm even finding the time to post!  I woke up this morning with a trickle of water coming out of our faucets.  I was all ready to call in "sick" since there was no way, in my mind, that I could take a "shower" under the literal drops of water falling.  Jim and I ran around the house trying to figure out what was going on.  In the end, Jim called the water gurus and turns out there's a water main break nearby.  UGH!  I said to Jim, "What do I do?!"  He said, "Just take a really slow shower."  Which I did.  It was not fun.  It was cold (not the water but with the cold bathroom and barely a trickle coming out, I couldn't warm up), and not very refreshing.  What a shocker that my eyes are bloodshot!  Well, maybe just eye.  However, I'm showered and so you are all lucky again that I don't smell like poo.  Like the kids in class.  Of course I'd blend in but who wants that?

I don't know that the kids will feel so lucky that I made it in today.  I'm sure they'll be pissed when they hear the story. I think in a way they've been hoping and praying that I was telling the truth about calling in sick today and tomorrow for Harry Potter.  Oh well...they'll get used to disappointment. 

So that's about all I have today.  It's Thursday and hopefully a good day.  Ooh, by the way - I "cooked" a new chicken yesterday. It's a Private Selection brand...chicken found in the freezer aisle.  It's actually packaged totally cooked, in several varieties of sauces.  Last night I made thai red curry chicken with shallots and edamame.  It was deeeeelicious.  The chicken was really tender and moist.  I will be trying others.  K - must finish...getting ready.  Later!
