Pet Peeves

You know what my biggest pet peeve is?  The fact that Christmas starts the day after Halloween.  We skip right over Thanksgiving, my birthday, and Scorpi-season in favor of awful music and shopping advertisements that are more of the same year after year.  So I'm not going to say 'tis the season for chili, even though it is.

The Valley had wonderful fresh weather this weekend, and my classroom has been a little calmer, which tells me that it is finally November.  To celebrate the arrival of my favorite month, tonight I made turkey chili but did not make corn bread.  The chili was delicious, so spicy and turkey is apparently very good for you.  The corn bread burned itself and my hand in the oven so it had to be thrown out.  Thank goodness I predicted that a tragedy such as this would strike, and bought back-up tortillas at the store today. 

Lucky girl that I am, I also have ALL of the beef stroganoff I made last week.  I stayed at school so late on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday that I got a free meal out of it!  Go me.  This week, I have planned many evening activities to get myself out of the classroom early enough to enjoy a decent dinner.  Happy fall, everyone.
