No work today. Okay, so there was one sub job out there but I knew I would be late and it was for my least favorite school. The problem is I'm young and ill-equipped to work with the age group. I can't avoid it forever, and won't, but for now I'll practice on the schools I can actually handle. And apparently I can handle the job pretty well, because at the end of just about every day I am asked for my name and number. The more TA's who have my number and bother to call, the less I have to deal with the automated system. Also, it's nice to be booked in advance instead of dealing with the system at the beginning of every day. It's tiring to get up so early to nab a job for the day.
I have been using this impromptu day off to get some other things done, and I'm finding it's a very good thing I did not work today. I have three disks of wedding photos to upload so that I can order prints, and I have been at it since about nine this morning. I'm uploading the last one right now, and it's past 1:30. It will probably take another hour still, and then I have to go through the ordering process. I am still, however, very excited to get this done! And glad that I won't be spending my whole weekend doing it.
I also have all the ingredients I need for a french silk pie (Dad's favorite), and plan on starting on making it as soon as I'm done typing this blog post. I'm making my first one for our church's Thanksgiving meal tomorrow and then making another one (and refining the recipe, if needed) for Thanksgiving with my family. Since Dad's birthday and Thanksgiving usually end up being the same weekend (or the same day!) we celebrate his birthday at the same time, while the family is all around. Every year he wants a french silk pie instead of cake, which we have always purchased from Perkins, but this year I decided I was going to make it! And I even found a recipe that claims to be so similar to Baker's Square's pie that it's indistinguishable. I hope it is!
I have to tell you, I'm digging the music my iTunes is bringing up today. I have it on shuffle, but I'm pretty sure God has taken full control. Recently played artists: Switchfoot, Newsboys, Hellogoodbye (not Christian, but clean), DC Talk, and Gungor. It's been really motivating, and lifting me out of the stolen-car, what-do-we-do-now funk.
Now, the only downfall to today is that I am not getting paid for all this hard work! Well, unless homemade pie counts. Yeah, I suppose it does. Come back later for pics of pie and maybe even the recipe!
Blog #20, done! What's your favorite Thanksgiving day food or tradition?
