Sushi

Many interesting things occurred today and one of them was a stop at the sushi restaurant. Not expecting too much since the restaurant was a fast food Japanese restaurant, Z, C, and I stopped by to get a bite. I ordered the Rock-n-Roll, Z ordered the Pink Lady, and C ordered a small tempura vegetable appetizer. WOW! Yum, yum, was it good. My roll was awesome, and beautiful, with roe sprinkled on top of a deep fried, rice filled pillow of delight. Z had a great roll of interesting and fresh flavors. Sushi is certainly fun and affordable in SW VA.

Okay, so besides sushi we took C's sax to the repair shop to have the guru's over there check it out. Apparently, C has been flinging her sax around and caused some damage which means money out to the repair guys. They were smiling from ear to ear by the time we walked out of there. Ugg!

Physicians

Took Z to the dermatologist today to have his acne looked at. He has been taking an antibiotic for a few years and it hasn't been working. So, the derm took one look at him and prescribed Acutane. Knowing how strong this drug is I asked the derm what the side effects are. This sent the guy on a rant about over protective mom's reading WebMD and questioning a drug's ability. Geez, I just asked a simple question, out of curiosity. What a schmuck! Anyhow, I kept my composure and continued to be respectful and professional, so I hope he remembers us and how we behaved awesomely while he looked like an idiot. Not sure the guy was even the derm since he introduced himself as S and his last name was not listed as one of the doctor's at the office. I'll have to check into that issue.

Z had a hard time with his blood donation, dizzy and woozy, but came through with just enough blood to fill two glass tubes. Just like his father, seeing blood doesn't settle well with him.

Hmmmmm,

It's dark and I'm in limbo. Will it snow enough in the morning to delay/cancel school? Funny thing it is to be a teacher. On one hand, you know how important your schedule is at school, but on the other hand teachers are far more excited to have a day at home than the students.

I spent some of the day with my school family celebrating the opening of Catholic Schools Week. The rest of the day was here at home with Z and C.

I really dislike grading papers, but the best place for me is in bed, where it is warm and cozy.

I'm sure once the weather warms up I'll be out on the deck watching brother sun and soaking up some vitamin D.

As you can see, I'm in need of some light rays and rest. Maybe a trip south during spring break will be just the thing. Texas is too far, but wow, what a great trip that would be. Austin, warm weather, dear old dad, music, Mexican food. Sounds like something a Texas girl needs.

Home

Today, I begin to post my thoughts, observations, and whatever else I want into my blog. I know this will be a challenge for me since I am an excellent procrastinator. I'll probably write about exciting things occurring in my life such as, work, home, family, etc...Certainly, this is a boring subject for any Joe Blow reading this blog so feel free to pass it by and move on to one which is more exciting. Hopefully, I can keep family and friends up to date on my life. Soooo, my first picture will be of our winter wonderland.
