School, vacation, winter

My class at KU started three weeks ago and today was the first day I did any homework. This must be the prof's first class and he is a true dork. He changes his mind every five minutes about his expectations, assignments, etc. Besides that, he is a techy, so he expects everything to be done on line like creating wiki pages, blogs, emailing our thoughts and posting to others' blogs instead of using KU's blackboard. It's my last class otherwise I would be outta there!

We went to Vegas last week and had a super time. I only lost about $200 which isn't bad for 4 days and it included all the spending money for meals, drinks, etc. We saw Larry Jones who could impersonate a ton of musicians and politicians. It was a nice break. Played blackjack with Steve and ate dinner with him and Fran. We went to the Bellagio conservatory to see the flowers and decorations for Chinese New Year. We watched the fountain show outside the Bellagio in 60-70 degree weather. Jim and I split a 1/2 lb. hotdog with chili and cheese, but we also ate prime rib and steak and lobster.

OK, I'm tired of the weatherman predicting super amounts of snow and then we get a dusting. I want 10 inches, a blizzard. I want days off from work, malls shut down, people forced to stay home and bond. I want to knit, read, watch old movies, play on the computer and catch up on my homework.

This Saturday we are having a baby shower at our house for K. I can't believe the amount of stuff I have amassed for my grandchild. It took three boxes, a gift bag, and I still have more. I'm almost ashamed. (Not really).
