Started out with hubby heading over to Gamestop<\/a> to wait for their delivery truck. He scored a Wii<\/a>, extra controllers, Zelda<\/a>, Call of Duty 3<\/a>, and Trauma Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then my husband and I independently bought Roombas<\/a> (robot vacuum cleaners) in today’s Wootoff<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I received a call from a professor at school<\/a>, who had gotten my name from one of my instructors, and who invited me to be a New College student member of the Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I rounded up the girls and we headed over to a technical rehearsal of Austin Ballet’s The Nutcracker<\/a>, which opens this weekend. There was a kind invitation extended to the Austin blogger mailing list for admission to anyone who would like to attend the rehearsal and have a backstage tour. The kids really liked it. I think I might have gotten some nice pics, too, so I’ll try to write up more about it tomorrow or so.<\/p>\n

Oh, and on my way to class the other day, I saw a small owl divebombing the runners on the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail<\/a> and two unicyclists.<\/p>\n

So far I’ve got As in all my courses. I turned in my final project and took the exam for Interpersonal Communication (A-COMM 1312) on Tuesday, so I’m waiting to hear back on that. If I don’t even show up for the final in Intro to Comm (COMM 1306), I’ll have a C. I need something like a 60 on the final to get an A in the class.<\/p>\n

Guess it’s time to start Christmas shopping, stollen baking, and tamale wrapping soon. A friend of ours gave us a jarful of freshly-rendered lard that we’ll use for the tamales, and I think we’ll try making some from feral hog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
