My winter break got cut short by my unhappy discovery that our syllabi for spring term classes are due Jan 10 – I was operating on the blissful assumption that I had till the 17th.<\/p>\n

So I’ve spent way too much of the weekend on the computer, trying to get the syllabi for my two courses written. They’re courses I’ve taught before, but I always want to update and add new material and readings … sometime I wish I could be one of those profs that just teach the same thing year after year …<\/p>\n

I got out for a walk this morning with Rach – high 30s and sunny, no snow anywhere – it’d be just right if we were in Colorado, like in Boulder, NOT in the mountains. john posted a sleepy cat picture – wish I coulda spent more of the weekend like this, but I guess I did spend a lot of last night on the couch with cats holding me down. I watched the movie about Valerie Plame<\/a> and only tuned into Saturday night life for a few minutes to hear Kelly Clarkson sing ger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” – which I guess was her first number. She’s not really my kind of thing, politically OR musically, but definitely one of those ear worm kind of songs – here’s the link to see her on Hulu, courtesy Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

We had a scrambler for breakfast, sweet potato, onions, Matt Smith’s spinach<\/a>, Boursin (leftover from the cookie party<\/a>), along with bacon and fresh bagels that I brought back from my walk.<\/p>\n

Mark’s making soup for dinner – Ovens of Brittany Spanish Country Soup<\/a>. It smells good. I made cup custards to eat with the last of the Moravian ginger thins<\/a> – and Downton Abbey<\/a> season 2 first episode. I seem to have gotten the custards out of the oven on time – they’re just the right jiggly-ness. Wish I could photograph the smell.<\/p>\n
