Book I Want To Read

01.16.07

I just ran across this book online through our Pioneer Organics website.

Little House on a Small Planet

Have any of you read it or considered living in a small space? Right now we have a big house, but 5 people are using the resources that it provides. It’s hard to imagine a smaller space unless we:
1)lived more “vertically” or 2) got rid of a bunch of our belongings.

I don’t really mind either of those options, and after having shared a room with two other sisters growing up, living in close quarters doesn’t bother me too much.

This may have to be summer reading (or at least Spring Break). I’ve got a lot on my list right now.

Here We Go Again: Snow Day #5

01.16.07

After not having school Thursday due to snow, having a late arrival Friday due to ice, getting another 1/4-1/2 inch of snow Saturday, having freezing temperatures Sunday and Monday, and not having school Monday due to MLK day, we have another day off with more snow. I can’t say that I’m not happy for some reasons because I do have a crate of notebooks I didn’t get to yesterday, and I stayed up late checking the weather. However, this is cutting in to instructional time before the semester ends. Yes, I know, said like a true teacher.

Here is our plan today:
pancakes for breakfast
workout or go for a walk
go to post office
grade notebooks
read a book

I should really post pictures of all of this snow, I know.
