Happy Birthday to copperbadge

Ad...a Last Things meme, stolen shamelessly from magickalmolly

1. Thing that you read - "The Given Sacrifice" by S.M. Stirling...the latest in one of my favorite series

2. Thing that you watched - tonight, the pilot of Firefly, so that my teenage daughter got to see it for the first time

3. Thing that you listened to - a recording of last weekend's charity gig, which as usual for something like that, makes me both smile and wince (always my own worst critic)

4. Thing that you wore - today, my teachers' union shirt, as we've gone to "work to rule", otherwise known as "work to contract"...waiting for negitations to work, simply wanting fair salary with the raise promised to us a while back, an actual contract that we haven't had in two years, class size reduction.

5. Thing that you ate - turkey burger with fresh, organic tomato from my colleague's garden

6. Thing that I wanted - to see the humpback whales that are currently hanging out off shore...didn't though, but saw tons of seabirds diving for anchovies

7. Thing that made you happy - one of my students lingering to tell me why he identified with the Langeton Hughes story we read, and being honest about why

8. Thing that made you sad - someone in a bad mood at work yelling at me today...I know he didn't mean to and sort of apologized later (not spoken, though)...I hate feeling that way

9. Thing that made you worry - waiting until my medical test results are in...hate that, too

10. Thing that you're looking forward to - the WEEKEND, such a lovely concept
