If you thought...
...that I was a responsible individual.
...that I would NEVER shorten my office hours tomorrow afternoon in order to have another lunch date with my husband*
...that I was able to stay cheery without any assistance** through an extremely long day at school today
...that I wasn't a big huge nerd who is judging the International Science and Engineering Fair next week
...that, surely, if I was such a nerd, I would be blase about it and not admit to being incredibly excited about judging at the ISEF
...that, surely, the night before my class's final meeting that I would have their papers graded
...that I would NEVER have stayed in the boys' room to read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets*** for a while even after they'd both fallen asleep rather than grading papers
...that, if I wasn't going to grade their papers, I would surely at least go to bed at a reasonable hour
...that I would never, ever, EVER blog instead of grading papers or going to bed
Then you would be wrong.
****************************************************
*I can't imagine my office hours really matter tomorrow, as my last final is in the morning and who in the world will be coming by after exams are over?

I painted my toenails blue last night. And wore open-toed sandals with a little heel today. I smiled every time I looked at them. Who needs chemical assistance? I just need blue toenails. (Please ignore the hideousness of the toes themselves--I haven't had time to give myself the full pedicure that I desperately need.)
***For the 18 millionth time.
WooHoo! Lunch date again? Lucky girl! :)
I like the pretty blue toes... where did you get that color?

Heck, teaching can wear you out. We need to slack off a bit too towards the end!

I am a huge fan and former wearer of blue nail polish. It was my color.
Glad to hear you're having fun (love HP) and that you and J are going on dates. Yay!! When a partner listens and responds, that is LOVE.

Love the blue toenails. Every once in awhile we just need to do something that makes us smile!! :-)

Happy end of the school year to you!

Oh my gosh, you ARE a huge nerd! I had no idea such immense nerdiness was only two three doors down. I'm a little bit scared, but mostly just mesmerized by your frosty toes. :-)
