Toasters

After just 1 and 1/2 years of marriage, one would think my toaster would still work. However, it does not. It sometimes pops up way too early, and the toast is still just bread, or it does not pop up at all (and if you forget about it, you get a very ugly poptart). The moral of the story is...do not ever buy a Black-N-Decker toaster.

Now, does anyone know of a brand of toaster that actually works?

Meanwhile, school is going well. I'm beginning to think of what I should have my substitute do during my maternity leave. It is hard to know what to have her do since I don't even know what I'm doing myself next month. I'm debating between having her teach a novel or work out of the textbook. The textbook might be easier because there is a teacher's edition that she could use for a resource, but the novel might also be better since it can last for several weeks. Anyway, I start birthing classes next month, which I am hoping will ease my nerves about the whole delivery process. The thought of the baby actually coming out of me is fairly intimidating. And, I also get to learn how to breastfeed, which should be a lot of fun to learn. So, I'm 29 1/2 weeks along, and the baby is due in 10 and 1/2 weeks. When can I begin to panic?
