back into the work week. just three more days after this one (i'm taking wedensday off for dr.'s appointment) and then three glorious weeks of vacation/hibernation. it's just gonna be me, angela chase (my so-called life has just been released on netlifx!!!!!!) and my space heater. together at last.
now that i am released from my burden to finish reading wicked (susie and i collectively decided it was a flub of bad writing and not work finishing), i'm deciding on what to read next. this morning i quickly picked up cat's cradle, which i have already started reading twice, but i think the third time is not the charm. why must it be so difficult choosing a book to read? for me it must be the hardest decision to make, because it's making a tiny committment. a time-based committment. an emotional investment and time-based committment. kind of like being in a relationship.
i wanted to go grocery shopping today because i am addicted to readymade burritos (the epitome of laziness), but i forgot last week that i burdened myself with the task of buying a huge bag of frozen chicken breasts at trader joes, in an effort to put more than 3 minutes of microwave cooking into my meals. but it's so easy to become accustomed to the convenience of frozen readymade food. but at the same time it feels so wrong, so undeserved. even though boiling chicken doesn't take a lot of time at all (it really doesn't), all of a sudden i've become fearful of it. so, in an effort to at least try to prepare food beyond the microwave, i hereby declare that i will NOT go to the grocery store today after work.
now i can't believe i really wrote that much about the moral implications of cooking food versus microwaving food.
it's amazing the difference between 7th graders and 8th graders. they grow so much in one summer. i can't imagine the shock and awe after seeing each other grow 1 foot and suddenly develop more adult like features.
i have to go now because i have one more batch of kids before my day is done. like batches of cookies, but only messier, less sweet, and half-baked.
