The Rest of the Day with Edit

Well, nothing from Nichole {Italian instructor} as yet. But even if she says no to me redoing the raccontino, I have lost nothing by asking. EDIT: Just got email from her and she said I CAN have my draft back on Tuesday and she will take the story on Thursday! WHEEE! {rushes off to orchestrate world-wide fireworks to celebrate}

I have almost finished my translation of the story Nichole wrote for this week and now have only to write six questions and answers about the story in Italian. Tomorrow I will work on the assignments in the grammar book. This  tends to take up a fair amount of time so I need to start it early in the morning.  And there is something else I have to do but I can’t remember it. I have done the weekly web page assignment. This week it is to find a menu in Italian for a restaurant in Sicily, my assigned region. There are some questions we answer about these web pages every week–the same questions but, of course, a different subject every week. I am actually getting quite interested in Sicily as I find out more about it. This is the area upon which I will be giving my one-minute oral report in a week or two {Gulp!} Ok, enough italian stuff…

A week or so ago, I made the comment that I was going to get my hair cut. Well, I am still going to get my hair cut and I have the intention of getting this done tomorrow. I usually try to get it done on a Thursday when it is two dollars cheaper but for some reason I keep forgetting to go there on the Thursday and so I have decided that I can afford two extra dollars! This is not one of those places where you have to make an appointment. This is a walk-in place. I really don’t worry about my hair being ruined because I am fortunate in that it is practically impossible to give me a bad haircut! My hair has a lot of natural body and usually decides where it wants to go itself. All I do is give it a good brushing, fluff it around with my fingers and I am done!
I have freecycled three big trash bags of fall and winter clothing so far since Thursday, and I feel very good about this. I have been holding onto some sweaters my sister gave me when she was alive, but, as I told Fred, if I haven’t warn them for three years, why am I keeping them? It feels good to pass  them on to women who can get good use out of them. But I have still not unearthed where my sweat shirts are. This is a good time of year to wear them and I have a really pretty yellow Laurel Burch one I got at a very good price on Ebay last year…

Until later….
