18 students

Wow, that’s a lot for one day!  To be fair, I only taught 16.  Two were sick.

I had a great time teaching today though.  I took it one student at a time.  It was fine, only I needed more water. 

I finished “War and Peace.”  I can’t believe I spent almost three weeks reading one book.  I don’t even know what happened.  Well, I DO.  *SPOILER ALERT* It was the war of 1812…I kept thinking about Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture!  Lots of Napoleon, Alexander, and a few Russian families falling in love or dying.  Seriously, Tolstoy.  Could the book have been edited a bit shorter?  (And I usually love long books!)

After such a long day, I wasn’t in the mood for cooking, so Chris and I decided to go to Dressel’s for dinner.  I had a glass of wine and the beef stew with salad, which was very good.  I always enjoy Dressel’s. 

Tomorrow is fun Friday (most Fridays are fun Fridays!).  Gym with Mike, lunch with Melissa, cook dinner (planning on a new recipe from Cooking Light magazine), attend the SLSO concert, and drinks with friends afterwards (hopefully).  I’m not quite sure how my “days off” become so busy, as I seriously need to do some housecleaning.  The weekend should allow for that though…

May I apologize for this slightly boring post…but it beats yesterday’s whiny ones, right?  RIGHT? (foot feeling better, wrist…we’ll see).
