Plugged Into the Outlet

August 30th, 2012 at 04:36 am

The child and I spent our last real day of summer vacation at that traditional summer funhouse, the outlet mall. We went out to lunch, bought shoes for her, a few too many clothes for me, jeans and pjs and tops for her, a vest and some chinos for DH. It was swell. I bought nothing very extravagant, used outlet coupons, and feel no guilt whatsoever.

Tomorrow is full of errands, meetings, tutoring, copying, and then the Common Read. I really need a day to myself to get things up and moving, but that will happen very soon.

Still no word from the bank about clearing the check from my bro. I was really hoping we could get 'er done Friday, but it looks unlikely.

    The Common Read is a single book we give away to all incoming freshers. They're supposed to read it between when they received it this summer at orientation and now. Did they? Not most of my group. But some did.
    It's also going to be used in lots of the freshman comp and other 100 level classes. This year's crop read Persepolis.
