Oatmeal with cinnamon and brown sugar and fresh banana. An orange. Joel brought in a four-leaf clover cake which he decorated all by himself. It's beautiful, and tasty, too! Joel brought me 8-inch parchment rounds from the shop where he has his cake decorating class every Tuesday. It's the best price, too—a dozen sheets for $0.55! We'll use the parchment in our bamboo steamer. I took photos and made a few short movies. Downloaded and installed a demo version of Extensis IntelliHance Pro 4.0 which made some of my test photos worse than before. Ran out of disk space on my C: drive, so I uninstalled a bunch of apps I didn't use very often and ran Disk Cleanup. Worked on the student awards presentation for Cindy. Scanned in another photo for Cindy. Helped Chris put several PDF documents together as one PDF, renumbered the pages. Lunch: Melissa, Joel, Ena, and I tried to take advantage of the free burritos in Saunders Court for Cinco de Mayo, but the burritos were late in arriving, the line was very long, and it was cold and windy. We walked to Millberry Union but the lines were long there, too. So we went to the cafeteria. I got a tostada for $4.09 which was delicious. Linkchecking. Phone meeting with Susie. Made changes to the alumni page for Forrest, sent them to him and Susie for review. Significantly improved Year 4 photos in the Student Directory to resolve problems with contrast and oversaturation. Made live Forrest's changes to the alumni page. Dinner at home: spinach and red leaf salad with carrot shavings, asiago, and creamy basil dressing. Soup with oyster crackers. Read blogs and news.
