Site of the Day

So I know I've told plent of you about Mystery Guest, INC. Brian and I did a quick lunch shop today at Smokey Bones. Basically, it's a mystery shopping service. It costs nothing and every 90 days, you can do a mystery shop at Smokey Bones, Cheesecake Factory, Bahama Breezes (or other chains owned by this conglomerate). Then, they reimburse you for your purchase (up to a certain amount), after filling out a simple survey online.

Free food is always good.

Deal or . . .

Come on, you know that you just finished the sentence. Anyway, so somehow my daughter has become a big "Deal or No Deal" fan. I have no clue how it happened since we do not watch that show in our house. She must have seen it somewhere else or something, but not only does she have down the catch phrase but she also knows the concept of the game (open the cases, etc.). So last night, we told her she could watch it (boy was there a doozy of a contestant on there) and so she was staying up, playing with a little stuffed animal kitty on the floor all excited in the half hour before it came on.

Brian and I were having a random conversation when out of the corner of our ears we hear Anna ask her kitty, Holly, "Meow . . . or Meow Meow?!" in a Howie sort of voice. We lost it.

Improvement

While last semester, I had a student evaluation that referred to me as a "grading Nazi," this semester the reviews were a bit more complimentary. For example, "Cherie did an excellent job teaching last week--she made it WAY more entertaining. Otherwise lectures were WAY boring." I think my prof. enjoyed this one immensely.
