dchenesThis week's version of soup has chicken and spinach and green beans and orzo and a little lemon juice in it. Good stuff.
I spent the entire driving lesson today doing right- and left-handed versions of parallel parking (aka the "maneuverability test") and getting an earful from the instructor about the one state cop I apparently don't want to have to take the test with. My take on it is, I held my own with my case study committee, and since I've done that, I can certainly hold my own with somebody whose major goal is to make 17-year-olds nervous. I haven't been 17 for quite a while now, so I don't have to fall for it. So there. (Now I have to keep telling myself that until Tuesday.)
It was supposed to rain last night, and didn't. It's supposed to rain today, and hasn't. It looks like it's thinking about it, though.
I wouldn't mind the landscapers so much if they did everything all at once on the same day, but they don't. Earlier this week they came around with the lawnmower and weedwhacker and leafblower, and today they're here with the hedge trimmer and the whatzit that digs out the boundary between the sidewalk and the lawn. (What is that thing, anyway?)
The ATA exam application went out in the mail yesterday. I actually did find a mailbox on a corner about three blocks before the actual post office. I would have used the outgoing-mail slot in the mailboxes here, but the envelope wouldn't fit through it.
I'm tempted to do laundry today, except it's just a tad too cold for shorts and all my jeans need washing.
