Where is the spirit?

Bah...humbug...that's how I'm feeling lately. I don't know if I'm still recovering from the overloaded semester or because one day it's 77° and the next it's 43°. I tried to do some Christmas shopping today but after looking for a parking space (in Avondale) for 20 minutes I just drove home. I haven't done any shopping yet...none...zero...zilch...I'll try again tomorrow.

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Steamed!

Image
Jerry and I have been struggling with our way of eating. We need to eat many more veggies and decided that this weekend we'd go out and buy a steamer . I didn't think it would be as easy as it is. Heck..the darn thing does eggs even. Jerry and I are a huge fan of boiled eggs and so right now we are "steaming" 8 little ovums right now. I'm thinking soon I'll have to buy some shrimp to steam as well. We kind of went a little crazy in the veggie aisles today. Asparagas, whole green beans, brocolli, yellow squash, pepper medley just to start our steaming adventures for the week. I'm excited. I know, crazy for getting so geeked about steaming things. **UPDATE** 3:15pm - Steamed hard eggs are wonderful. They peeled better than when I boil eggs. That alone is worth the price of the steamer.

Inspiration

Went to my ASL III class last night. The professor is wonderful. She is a deaf woman. Which means we sign all the time. I love it. I was disappointed last term because it seemed like we didn't sign much. This semester will be a challenge. My friends who were in my last class with me agree that we are a little behind the rest of the students so we stayed after and explained our situation. She understood that we didn't have much conversation time and told us that she will slow her sign down a little. Which is good because to me her hands were flyin! The first 15 minutes of the class I was feeling overwhelmed and by the end I was just inspired to learn more. To be able to communicate better using ASL. Should be a fun semester.
