Searching iTunes

I just spent way too much time trying to find music from old TV shows and cartoons to use in my classroom. And to top it off, I found only a few and one of those you have to buy the whole album (who needs the entire soundtrack of Madagascar?) Searching the web was no better, either some guy selling homemade cd's or cheesy midi files. Oh well, I guess it's time to brave Borders and Barnes & Noble. Life is tough. This is going to be a long week. My husband is in LV at a trade show, so I'm going it alone with my 90 year old mother in law. She really is sweet, but as all Italian mothers do, she can lay on the guilt trip really thick. It's always as I'm leaving out the door, "I have such bad pain in my leg" (arthritis). So what can I do? I make sure she takes her medicine and leave her with my cell number.

One thing I find weird is this format, skipping a line instead of indenting. Even in school either form is correct, as long as it is consistent in a paper. Guess I'm a traditionalist.

I have collaborated once on a paper in a grad class. It went as well as it could, I knew the other person from a few other classes we shared, but I found the writing feeling disjointed to me. We got an A, but I really think it leaves much to be desired as an assignment.

I did take the picture. It is a plumeria in my yard. I have been spending a lot more time gardening on weekends. I just realized why, I spend the week inside a classroom all day! Until we get the rain.

Does anyone believe North Korea?
