far from being a throwback to when i was 5, this is more of a protest against the spoiling of my easter break. as i have already complained to many, there is an educators' conference in town this week. i am compelled for very reasons to attend three out of the five days. in the meantime, my students get to frolic in the no-learning-for-a-whole-eleven-days utopia. thus, i resolve to treat this week as much like a vacation as possible. i will:
a) take the metro instead of driving all over creation
b) eat lunch out, probably at that tapas restaurant at the harbor and one of the cafes in federal hill
c) get some exercise by walking around the city somewhat randomly
d) take my camera in case i happen upon some quirky kodak (or in my case, SONY) moments
e) relax for some quiet time at the crest of federal hill
f) NOT GO TO BED AT MY NORMAL SCHOOL-NIGHT TIME
as indignant as i am at my skewered vacation days, i will admit to some grand-old fun this past weekend. first, my cousins jenna and kristen swung by with their puppy who's only seven weeks old. i took them to the local petsmart, and we accessorized the little pooch. i forbade them to buy outfits and a dog purse (i don't know the technical term for the bag in which one carries her dog). we got the pup a cute little collar and a few toys. AWWWW!!! and, i was finally able to meet my younger niece, calliope (nickname--chloe), who's only about five weeks old. she's sweet and beautiful to hold. her two older brothers and her older sister are very gracious around her, and all four are a blast. anyway, i don't have any pictures of chloe, but i do have a few of pookie baka. i have NO idea where jenna and kristen got the name...

Did the Catholic educators all get black and yellow bags with the Target symbol on them? When I dropped Brendan off at the light rail yesterday there was a SWARM of people carrying those headed for the convention center.
yes. yes we did.
