Okay then. I think I'm going to go to bed now and ignore all this until the morning.
That "make muffins" thing? Not necessary. Kind, but not necessary.
ReplyDeleteAt least this year I'm not having them over to my house :)
ReplyDeleteMy students make muffins for *me*. I'm not sure why, but for the past two years when all my other female colleagues are bringing donuts and stuff to their classes, my students are bringing in puppy chow and banana bread to share with the class.
ReplyDeleteI think that means you're doing something right.
ReplyDeleteOne of mine brought movie theater popcorn (from her job), another cheese from the "fancy" aisle, and another homemade truffles. She definitely won in my book...
