I found fun stuff on the internets today! This is evidenced by the quizzes I've posted earlier this evening. Do I have 50 pages of ethics readings to do? Perhaps. Did I read about composting instead? Plus read design/DIY blogs and download a bunch of awesome desktop backgrounds? Maybe. And did I then run 3.5 miles outside and go ape-sh*t on my arms at the JCC, then co-cook a dinner of salmon, kale, 'sparagus, and roasted potatoes? Uh-huh.
Still haven't started the readings. But I do have a story to tell:
This morning I had a little trouble deciding what to wear in celebration of St Patrick's Day; my choices were a nice green turtleneck vs. a bright green shirt that has "smartypants" screen-printed across the chest (the shirt was a gift. I don't really enjoy having the word "smartypants" emblazoned across my body). Since the forecast called for a gorgeous warm day, and the neck of the turtleneck tends to be excessively tight, I settled for the T-shirt, but put on a white cardigan buttoned such that the "smartypants" was covered.
So I walked to school (as I've taken up doing), picking up a cup of coffee along the way. As I reached campus, a huuuge droplet of coffee flew out the sippy hole on the cup lid and splattered across my white cardigan. Yeesh!
And thus I found myself in a dilemma: Do I (a) walk around with an embarrassing brown stain down my front, or do I (b) remove the cardigan, and instead walk into the ethics course with declaring myself to be a "smartypants"?
I chose (a). I managed to blot the offensive stain such that it was maybe humming rather than singing (like that Superbowl Tide marker commercial, hee!, I love that commercial). Would you have done differently?

I might have taken the stained cardigan off and put a strip of duct tape over the word. I've actually done that before because we couldn't wear shirts with words on them at the bookstore I used to work at. But you gotta think about whether the shirt color goes with the silver color of the duct tape.
