started the year with our traditional new year’s brunch, which meant bringing out the plastic dishes

I suppose there are a few things about 2012 that are worth recycling….

I got a packet of thank you notes from a class I taught a couple weeks back.  they were all adorable, but I especially liked this one:  that’s me on the front of the card, with the pieces of foam that the kids will build with (black stripes) and the tupperware containers of building materials (blue boxes), of which there actually are six. also, the row of chairs in the front; they are, in fact, in primary colors. 

there was an egg drop at work today. here are some of the test subjects.

apparently, at the last minute, Kat panicked and thought there wouldn’t be enough food so she made an emergency pan of gingerbread. which turned out not to be even remotely necessary, but was certainly delicious.

I didn’t ever figure I’d get something that looked exactly like a Q, so I’m pretty pleased with this idea. Merry Christmas.

“Electricity at rest is called static electricity.
Like in the winter, wearing a heavy coat,
You get a shock off the doorknob.
Or you scrape across a carpet
And sneak up on your very best friend,
And zap ‘im on the ear with a SHOCK…!!!!”

Gandalf frequently loses his collar, due to extremely vigorous wrestling with his brother. luckily, so far he tends to lose it someplace where it’s easily found.

I spotted someone’s partially unrolled towel at the gym, and went to take a picture of it before she came back from the bathroom.

to be honest, I had kind of forgotten about this little theme. that’s why O took so long.
