new semester.

so, it's a new semester, and somehow, i am teaching full-time now.
today was the first day and i had a great time.
wednesday is a little more menacing.
i'll be teaching in one of these babies...

a big lecture hall...crazy isn't it? but i think i'll survive.
i was on campus all day today, then i came home and cleaned the house,
did the laundry, vacuumed, did the dishes, and took out the trash.
now i am thinking about dinner.
then all of a sudden i became amazed at all i was able to accomplish today!
what has come over me??

i really love my new schedule.
i am on campus two days a week,
and i have the other days for class prep and grading, photography, and being a homemaker.
i have been cooking a LOT of new things lately.

curried mango pork chops
with brown rice and broccoli.

baked breaded zucchini chips
with pasta shells in alfredo sauce.

mushroom & swiss sliders with spicy fry sauce (read that last part in gob bluth's voice)
with salad.

maple-roasted chicken with sweet potatoes
with cous cous.

let me know if you have a yummy recipe to share.
i am on a roll with trying new things.
also, lots of crafting has been going on. no photos to share but maybe i'll take some later.
