I put this up last night at Jon’s insistence. I didn’t really want to do it but some Minnesota readers from Hancock and Halstad showed up on my site meter and I wanted to make some things clear so that I don’t have to re-password the site. Do me a favor and read it through, especially if you’re a first time surfer. As for the Minnesota people, I IP-banned them for the time being — I asked them to ID themselves and they didn’t. I don’t mind lurkers all that much, except when said lurkers do stupid things that affect me.

On The Road Again…
I went to Shelby this morning for a haircut and to drop off my paperwork with Shelby Public Schools. Well… turns out my hair appointment was earlier than I expected, so I just dropped stuff off at the school district office and went back home.
I called Chester to find out about fingerprinting and they told me to just go to the sheriff’s office and they could do it for me. Well… I drive 20+ miles there to find that the sheriff can’t accomodate me because there’s only one deputy who can do it and he’s out. So… I called Shelby to ask if they could do it in an hour (which is about how long it was going to take to get from Chester to Shelby) and they said yes. So… I truck 45 miles back to Shelby and a nice deputy fingerprints me. All in all, I think I drove 75 miles for 5 minutes of fingerprinting. I’ll have a parishioner take it over to the schools for me.
Tonight, Jon had a council meeting so I did some baking: gingerbread cats. I have kitty cookie cutters and I got this recipe oof of AllRecipes.Com. I only made half a batch and got 7 cats out of it — I think 2 batches should yield enough for Ke to decorate.
I also realized that I needed a life when I started drawing out plans for how I’d build a gingerbread house and decorate it — making everything from scratch. I never wanted to be Martha Stewart and I’m afraid that I’m turning into her!!!!!!!!!!! *runs screaming*

I’m headed out to get a TB test in a few minutes.
Good thing: it kills one of the hoops I have to jump through to substitute teach.
Bad thing: it involves sticking a needle in my arm and it hurts like H-E-double hockey sticks!
At least the fingerprinting on Friday won’t hurt as much…
Portsmouth Tea
I tend to not be all that much of a tea person (my husband Jon however is another story) but I do think that any tea company with a tea blog is REALLY cool. I checked out their tea selection and the teas I’d probably be ordering if it was my choice are the Masala Chai (I’m a fan of South Asian food and got hooked on chai after a friend who was a missionary in India made it for me) and the Apricot Peach Fruit tea.
Their teaware is also lovely.
Minnesota Readers
OK… my sitemeter shows that there are Minnesotans reading my blog. If you’re in Minnesota and reading this, please do me a favor and leave me a comment so I know who you are.
This Would Have To Happen Today…
I am exceedingly crabby because:
[+] The lenses of both taillights got knocked out by a barbed wire fence. We just replaced one last week… Thank God for VLVWorld.
[+] I can’t find the bleeping dishsoap and I *KNOW* I bought some and I need to do dishes.
[+] I can’t find the bleeping Clorox wipes and I need to clean the kitchen.
[+] I need to go in for a TB test this week and it’s looking like it will have to be postponed until next week because I don’t know of anyone who is going into town either tomorrow or Wednesday. I can’t just go do it because I live 25 miles from civilization and Jon has the car.
I will start screaming now…
It’s A Special Day!
Happy birthday to my very supercool friend/webgeek/duckie goddess Krissy! Congrats chica! You’ve now joined the Quarter Century Club!
