Break is now over. Im back at school. One more week before our MAP testing begins. I walk down the hallway and see teachers with sweating, looking alarmed or worse, taking a swig from their flasks stashed in their desks.

I traded for a car over the weekend. A bit newer model with many fewer thousands of miles on it. It is a rocket.

I bottled my pear wine over the break and omg, it's good!

Nothing much else to report. I am more boring this week than last week.

Testing makes all teacher's heads everywhere spin.
I plan on it, Gnome.
WS, I went online to http://ingeb.org/junk/junk.html. for this recipe and just let it tweak itself. I was tired of trying to keep all the proper things going to make wine. Most people know I am never proper. This recipe was more my style. And I am happy with the results. Too bad I can't share more easily...I sure would.

Kimmy, I wish break would come after testing but it never works that way. Hope you have a perfect break!

We had our first day of testing today. I don't have kids to test but the entire school is affected as you know. Three hour class periods are insane.

The image of teachers taking a swig from their flasks stashed in their desks makes me laugh! :)

I wish I had thought of that when I was a teacher! *hee hee*
