Welcome! Link up! Link back! Leave me a song suggestion for working out in the comments ("Say hey" gets old)!
1. I am not naturally patient person, so the fact that basically every arena of my life right now is requiring some degree of patience is incredibly exhausting. When I go to bed there is literally nothing left in me to give. (Clearly, I thought we'd start off with a dramatic note today).
2. The Naan bread-mashed avocado-fried-egg-S&P combo is back! I could eat that and scrambled egg sandwiches (with only American cheese on top) every day.
3. I finally finished S-Town and I wish someone would right a comprehensive biography on John. I think I ended up liking it better than Serial, although Sarah will always be my favorite.
3. Pete Souza, Obama's photographer is coming out with a coffee table book in the fall of my favorite POTUS's time in office. I can't wait.
4. My students are reading Antigone in class right now and I'm so pleased with how well they are doing reading it together, in groups. I actually here them stopping to ask each other questions and to clarify relationships and it makes my English-teacher heart SO happy.
5. I get to see Elizabeth Warren speak this weekend in LA with a friend and I can't wait. I am of course a fan, but I also am looking forward to some adult time, since my weekends have been very kid-heavy lately (not that I am complaining, necessarily, but I need a few hours right now... see #1).
6. I'm off to watch the first episode of The Handmaid's Tale. Finger's crossed...

ReplyDeleteEnjoy hearing Elizabeth Warren, and I'm eager for that coffee table book, too!
ReplyDeleteBangarang is exactly the kind of high-energy electronica I need to suffer through my weekly run
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying Machine by Misterwives.
ReplyDeleteRe #1: I probably mentally suffer the most when I do not have my shit together. And right now I don't, long work days, daycare issues, insane sports schedules, and so on. So by about 6pm each day, I am out of patience and just done. And I sit there and wonder how I am going to make it until 8:30pm. Yet I do. It's both dramatic and not at the same time. I'd roll my eyes at myself if I could.
