1 down, 6 to go

Yesterday we had the option of working from home -- a rare option for teachers, as you can imagine. Yesterday was also the luncheon that our new principal planned for the faculty. Hmmm...do I stay at home, safely away from temptation, or do I attend the luncheon and demonstrate my amazing willpower abilities? So, I worked from home yesterday.

Turned out to be a good call on two fronts: first, based on the emails I received, the workday began with hot, fresh Panera bagels in the faculty lounge and ended with ice cream cake; second, while I was out running a few errands, my crock pot runneth over, flooding the countertop with at least seven cents of pot roast juices. If I had been gone all day, who knows what could have happened? Can a dry pot roast spontaneously combust?
