Clean Sheets!

I wrote a poem once about clean sheets. For my girlfriend at the time. Her response was something along the lines of "That's nice." Remind me not to write her any more poetry. Oh, right, we aren't together anymore.

Nice mini-Sunday yesterday. Got a good bit done. Part of the day, about 4 hours actually, was spent working on the proof of Diary of a Plate Addict. I noticed that one plate was used 3 times and that caught my attention. So I went through the whole book and realized that a lot of plates were used twice, some plates three times and couple four times! Eeek! It is going to take a lot of work to get this fixed. Am I the only one who will notice this? Probably. Still, it has been a goal of mine all along to not use a plate more than once if I can avoid it. Hopefully, Heather and I will be able to rock this out quickly working together! And I think I want to add a final sentence. Still haven't quite come up with it. I think it needs to percolate a little in my cranium...

Spanish also figured in the day. Homework for the class (today) and an episode of Beuno Entonces.

The highpoint was dinner with our friend Mary Gerhart at Ling-Ling Chinese Buffet! Mom and I haven't been in months. Maybe since the last time that we went with Mary. Being a Tuesday night, it wasn't all that crowded. I ate too much, which is normal. And chatted a bit in Chinese with a few of the servers. I saw the woman who wanted me to help her with her English and she seemed embarrassed for some reason. Meanwhile, Mary is trying to sell her house and is still finding things she doesn't need any longer. Like a cappuccino machine. I took it, though I have no idea what I am going to do with it. I don't drink coffee, never have, and I don't think mom is too into cappuccinos...in looking up how to spell the word Google threw up some cool images of cappuccino foam art! People can be so awesomely creative!

Just came back from Spanish class - I got a 68 on my Spanish test. Poop!

Happy Wednesday.. or Hump day.. okay before I continue, please explain to me what is a plate? I understand the whole beer thing.. either I am an imbecile or just just plain clueless!

68 isn't the end all for Spanish, keep plugging away. I am in the mist of writing my blog and hope have it online by tonight. Have been feeling rather foopy lately, allergies, are bothering me a bit.
Did attend S.I.N night at the Brewery monday night had a good time . Tried a Spiced Harvest Ale made with cloves, cinnamon and ginger, impressively good as well as the Octoberfest and Wisteria Ale. I did win 2 Tixs to the Dover Beer Fest this Saturday at the world infamous Dover Downs Casino.. will let you know how that turns out.

Nice pictures at Ling Ling's

A plate is a reward for drinking 200 beers at a place called The Flying Saucer - you are not an imbecile. Just clueless. :)

Thank you! I am not too worried about the grade at this point. The semester is young. :)

I am envious of your trip to the Dover Beer Fest!
