So here it goes:
I haven't blogged in a while
I haven't cooked something new in a while
I haven't worked on my own reading list in a while
I haven't cleaned in a REALLY long while
I haven't worked out in an even longer while
I HAVE been grading like it's an obsession. it sucks.
I HAVE been successfully teaching Romeo and Juliet to reluctant 9th graders
I HAVE been going to the farmers' market
I HAVE been making plans for the summer for the writers' group
I HAVE been filling out job applications.
I wish most of the haves and haven'ts were switched around. however, this is not the reality.
I'm making a spring soup tonight. probably last soup of the season because it's too hot in our apartment usually.
it'll be good. and I'll someday have what I don't have currently.
