Christmas in November


Wow actually, it's November and Christmas is almost here. Yikkes!

Well anyway, I showed up to do my assistantship hours today and found four GIANT boxes of "complimentary" items from the Super Duper company. Now anyone who has had any sort of contact with a Speech-Lanugage Pathologist knows that Super Duper is THE COMPANY to get any resource, or activity, or flashcards for any issue. (The Picture is from the deck Fun with cats and dogs). FOUR big boxes. It was amazing. Especially since they are starting to phase out cardboard boxes for all the flashcards. They are now putting them in metal tins that hold up 100 times better than cardboard. So today, I went through just about all of the new items and found the old falling apart items and replaced them all in all up to this point right now we have taken 180 items off the shelves. I am on a cleaning high right now because 1) we have so much stuff that the shelves were getting to crowded so there are half as many items on them now. And 2) all the things that are coming off the shelves we are making into grab bag type of items for all the first and second year graduate students to take home. (Since we can't do Christmas presents we might do first snow gifts instead). But now we have to go through and make 40 different grab bags from all the stuff, this should get very, very interesting.

Look forward to tomorrow when I discuss the sewing machine issue Mrs. Tania is having.
