Bye, Boys

The boys are out of school next week. Spousal Unit is taking them up to Canada, to visit a family property before it’s sold out of the family. I’ll be staying here, because my week off from school was last week.

Last night he said, “What are you going to do next week while we’re gone?”

“I’ll probably really enjoy it for the first two days, and then spend the rest of the week wandering around and wondering why it’s so quiet.”

On another topic, I just played Anti-Phishing Phil, a game to teach kids how to spot phishing links. I got ’em all right. Where’s my prize?

Found the game on Clark Howard’s web site, which also links to a calculator that helps you figure out whether it’s worth trading in your gas-guzzler. As you can see, I’m being really productive this evening.

Meet John Barrowman. He’s been in numerous movies and television shows, most recently starring in the British drama Torchwood. Isn’t he gorgeous? I know what I want for Christmas next year.

He’s gay. I’m married. We’re a perfect couple.

I was going to get so much done over spring break.

  • Do my extra credit assignments
  • Finish my big Practices project that’s due in April
  • Do my big Ethics paper, also due in April
  • Work ahead in my online Software class
  • Catch up on the housework
  • Clean out the basement a little

Instead, I caught a cold. So I’ve done one extra credit assignment, and about half of the big Practices project. The rest of the time I shuffle around like a zombie, muttering incoherently at my family and hissing when I’m touched by direct sunlight.

Crap.
