New layout! The grey was just getting too depressing now that it's getting closer to spring.

I also have determined that I hate grading papers. Getting almost 200 of them in two days really sucks. But I've only got about 40 more to grade and then I'm done with this batch.

Beth called me last night and dropped a bombshell--she might get a PhD after all. She's out at Emerson College right now about to finish her MFA in creative writing, and she saw a pamphlet for the University of Bath's (in England) PhD prgram. She said she won't do it right away, but that she might take a year off and then do it.

I'm going to Florida to see Mom on March 17. I foolishly am going to be there for 9 days; I'm sure we'll be tearing each other's hair out well before then. Or maybe I will be in secret. It'll be nice to see her though; I haven't gotten to spend anytime with her since she moved to Florida two or so years ago. She came up for our wedding last year, but I was so busy I didn't get to spend much time with her.

Love my V-Day gift--it's a low-profile keyboard for my Mac. I love it--it's so much easier to type on--and my typing's getting a bit better since there's space between the keys so my fingers aren't tempted to hit two keys at once.

Back to the trenches--I mean, grading.
So...for my anniversary gift, my awesome hubby indulged his nerdy wife and got me a Tenth Doctor action figure. It's the one from s4 with the 5 Adipose. He's also getting me a little TARDIS, but it hasn't been bought yet. Yay! Now the Doctor and Wall-E (and soon the TARDIS and a Dalek--I'm getting the Dalek myself) are all around the computer. Hee! :D

I got him a mandoline for his gift. He's already assembled it, and if it wasn't so late, I'm sure he'd be slicing veggies right now.

We're off to a hotel tomorrow night and then down to Cincinnati all day Monday to celebrate our anniversary. Hooray for mini-vacations!
