It's Martini Time!
My final for HRI 540XW was turned in on Monday - that means my first class back to school is complete. I'm sure I'm going to pass the class, but I'm really hoping for an "A"! I have a few weeks off school, as my stats class at Arizona State doesn't start until May 30.
At MCC, I have my last class for Gourmet Foods tonight, I give a FON 241 (Nutrition) final on Saturday, and Healthy Cooking students turn in their final projects Monday. In the meantime, I've got some serious grading to do, my office to pack and move, and chores to do that I've been ignoring for a couple of months!
I'm taking a day off tomorrow, (since I work Saturday), so I plan to buy supplies for staining the concrete patio floor. That'll be our next big project outside, and we also hope to get sod installed before the weather gets REALLY hot. Speaking of HOT - we've got a new A/C unit! It's a monster, but it works really well. The A/C guys are coming back tomorrow to finish the swamper (evaporative cooler) that's in the garage. The unit is top of the line, so we expect our power bills to go down A LOT during the summer. We even have a really cool thermostat that's programmable!
In other news, we bought our tickets for Canadia! While we're at the cottage, we hope to do some canoeing on the Missassauga (camping overnight), I would like to visit Niagara wine country, and Travis wants to visit Niagara Falls again. Maybe we can take the trail behind the falls this time - that would be cool!
In the meantime, we have a LONG hot summer to get through. I'll be working at MCC 25 hours per week, and I'm hoping to get some indoor projects done.
Our garden is going haywire - I'll post pictures next week. We've got dozens (maybe hundreds) of tomatoes, our squash is doing well, we have peppers, peas, corn and onions, too. I'm excited. :) I've never had a full-blown garden before! I hope everyone back in the midwest is enjoying the lovely spring weather - it's 95 here today. Not bad, but still kinda hot!
Have a good weekend,
Jenny
