Do you like movie-related lists? Want to read some over Monday morning coffee? Want to still be reading the lists over Monday noon lunch? Then go here.

Otherwise, resist the devil and he will flee from you. 

Interesting day ahead, what with my silly foot ‘n all. I’m in low, sensible shoes, however, so thumbs up on the not falling off of the heels. Off I go…

A rat wearing a sling walks into a bar and announces, I’m lookin’ for the man who shot my paw.

I wish I could find the guy who pushed me out of my left shoe yesterday. The Thriller and I were walking up to order our lunch, when *bam*, my left foot rolled outward inside my 2.5-inch high wedge shoe, and down I went. Forward. On the floor, in front of all and sundry. I mean, I landed on my chest, with my face centimeters from the floor. It was the ultimate humiliation. (Well, actually, the ultimate humiliation would have been if I’d been wearing a dress. Thankfully, I was in jeans and a winter coat.)

Oh, the indignity.

Now, from neck to toes, I suffer. Be careful next time, nutter.

*creeeeak*

Why, why, why did I awaken at 4:00 with “Who’s the Thief?” running through my head? Probably because we ran it a hundred times last night. Singing in 7/8 is grand.

Oh well. No time like the present to make a packing list for convention tomorrow. I need three of everything. Three outfits, three pairs of shoes, three um…well, that’s all I need three of. What else do you pack? Device chargers, laptop, iPad, candy, a big bowl for it and the JECO pens to give away as booth goodies, signage. Then there’s the ridiculous lanyard I have to wear, school paperwork, and most importantly, my Joseph score to work on in the room.

Oh yeah — sub plans for two days. Oy, forgot about that.

Am I forgetting anything else? If not, it’s teach today, rehearse till 9 tonight, and hit the road tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing some people I haven’t connected with since last year. But first, get through today. Today is going to be busy.

Anyone else doing anything fun?

Ready, steady…go!

1. The 49ers didn’t win, which puts all things right with the world, and with all loser Browns fans (sarcasm). The only upside is that, hopefully, now that he has his final ring, Ray Lewis retires. Onward.
2. It’s Monday, and I snoozed the alarm too many times. Now it’s a rush, and I don’t feel like hurrying.
3. I saw all three of my grandsons yesterday (yay!), but didn’t get the choreography done for tomorrow night’s rehearsal (boo). Oh well. Something to take care of between the end of school today and my parent meeting tonight.
4. I’m leaving Thursday morning for a convention in Columbus. I wish I were more excited about it. My students, however, will undoubtedly be over the moon.
5. But my fruity-spinachy-delicious smoothie sure tastes good this morning. Thank you, Ninja. (You all really need to get one of these.)

Happy day, fiends — go get ’em!

So I didn’t get any choreography done yesterday, but I did get a start on some cake pop ideas. The bride and groom stopped by the house to visit and look at them, and they didn’t turn around and flee into the night, so I guess we’ll build on these designs. Not totally happy with how some of them turned out, but we shall keep working to perfect things.

Therefore, today shall be my dancing day…or maybe tomorrow.

Someone posted a picture of macaroni and cheese on Facebook last night, and it got me to craving some, so I made up a batch, and the Thriller and I will nosh on it with sandwiches for our Super Bowl dinner. I long ago pledged that I would not make a big deal out of Super Bowl eats until it was my team playing in it. Which means, well…you know. Heh.

But first: Sunday morning waffles and scrambled eggs.  Time to get a move on. Enjoy your day, fiends — may the better team win. And we hope it’s the 49ers.
