I shouldn't have posted actually.  They've turned out to be quite boring.

Ps 135

Quia in humilitáte nostra memor fuit nostri: * quóniam in ætérnum misericórdia eius.
Et redémit nos ab inimícis nostris: * quóniam in ætérnum misericórdia eius.
Qui dat escam omni carni: * quóniam in ætérnum misericórdia eius.
Confitémini Deo cæli: * quóniam in ætérnum misericórdia eius.
Confitémini Dómino dominórum: * quóniam in ætérnum misericórdia eius.

For he was mindful of us in our affliction: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
And he redeemed us from our enemies: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
Who giveth food to all flesh: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
Give glory to the God of heaven: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
Give glory to the Lord of lords: * for his mercy endureth for ever.

-I retract any and all statements I have made that are incongruent with the True Faith, and apologize for ever having made them-

Going to sound a little odd, but... I just ordered new sneakers.

They were on sale for 50% off, so I figured I might as well.

Great deal! I almost always have to try shoes on.  I did just buy a pair of corframs, but only because I know my size and the best price was ordering them online from our uniform center.

I'm the same way - usually I have to try them on (different sizes for different makes) but I happened to already own sneakers from this maker, so...  :D

Bought 2 of these and framed them.  One is for my foyer and one is for a friend.

This wasn't exactly recently, but if you don't have a laptop desk I highly recommend it. Should've bought it years ago.

A textbook for a class I'm teaching starting last week. Hopefully, the book will arrive by Wednesday. How I'm supposed to teach this class until then without a book is beyond me... Also, why my school doesn't supply me with my textbooks is also beyond me...

A great leather Coach purse at Goodwill for $9.99,
not bad for a $300+ purse!

I love expensive purses, bought CHEAP!
I usually score on eBay.

Have you tried contacting the publisher? They usually provide instructors with desk copies free of charge. I've never heard of buying your own.

It's not a real textbook. It's an anthology. I can submit a check request for reimbursement to my department chair if I really want to make a to-do about it.

Anyway, I also don't have a curriculum, if that's any indication as to the state of things at my school. I didn't have a curriculum at my last school, either, and that was my first teaching job. I'm surprised they trusted me so much to form my own curriculum...

That sounds a lot more fun than just teaching based off of someone else.
