I had a scare in my poetry class today...
We're working on these notebooks ...

And they're due Thursday...

I thought I was done!

Until today...

I found out that I needed to choose four poets to critique!

I don't normally work this fast, but I'm getting it done...

3 down, 1 to go!

I need a break...

So I thought I'd come by, and see how you're all doing tonight...

:hi:

2. Good evening, Peggy!
:hi:

I'm winding down for the night, the logs that were burning in the fireplace are merely glowing embers, now. I'll be snuggled in bed before the cold creeps back into the den. Sweet dreams and snowflakes dancing in the cold crisp night air...

I can practically smell the embers, and feel the snowflakes...

Sweetest of dreams!

8. Me too...
I can't wait to see my pictures either!

They might even close the Pier, which is where I always shoot from...

I'd have to stand on the beach...or a nearby sidewalk!

So tonight I want to finish this damn homework, and be ready for tomorrow!

Thanks, sweetie...

I always appreciate your comments in my threads...:hug:

12. Hi Miss C-P
My how diligent you are. I was at El Porto this afternoon around 3:00pm. The wave were 6' to 12'+ and building. Tomorrow is going to be epic.
Not even thinking of paddling out tomorrow. Me and Ali will drive down to Malaga Cove and see what that spot looks like in a big swell.
Good luck with your assignment,
P-b

29. Generally,if I don't post fast
somebody has already said what I was going to say and then I just look dumb .... well, that's really just an excuse. I admit, I look dumb anyway.

I'm so glad you are done.
I had a presentation today in Professional Practices (college teaching) as did my wife and she also had one in Media and Politics. This day had the potential for faiure written all over it as neither of us felt ready, but it turned out to be a success.

I know your poetry work was a success too.

You NEVER look dumb to me!

And I mean that...

Glad your day turned out well, for both of you!

I'm hoping that my teacher will approve of my work too...

I really respect her...

Thanks, sweetie... :hug:
