    It Finally Happened…

    I haven’t been very good at blogging this week. BUT, I have a very, very legitimate excuse… Eclipse and Breaking Dawn arrived, and I have been bonding with Edward all week. *swoon* I know, I know, life’s all about balance, right? But commmmmme on, how can I possibly lesson plan, read ahead for school, make a portfolio or blog when Edward is waiting for me?? :) I am almost done book 3, and can safely say that it is SO much better than New Moon. I won’t give anything away, but glorious doesn’t even describe how delightfully frivolous and wonderful this book is. Aside from my new Edward obsession… life…

    Home*

    I am home. I’m sorry for the delay in posting–I had hoped to post on Sunday night, but we didn’t get back to Senior’s City until after 9:30pm. You might be thinking, “Why, that’s lots of time to write an inspired and wonderful blog post!” and if I was an organized and a non-procrastinator you would be right. However, on my vacation, I thought it would be a good idea to leave all my planning and marking until Sunday. Ha. Needless to say, there was a frenzy of organizing and planning when I finally dug out my desk. I just thought, “I’ll get around to it on Monday. That’s when…

    Shop Girl Goes South*

    First things first: I am not dead, nor am I lying in a hospital bed somewhere. (I HAVE loved all the concerned emails and comments though… it makes me feel special.) I, dear friends, am on vacation with the Hubster and my family and have been completely disconnected from the “real” world for nearly a week… and it has been so good. I’m currently in sunny Florida, away from my cell phone (do you have any idea how expensive roaming charges are?!??), computer, internet and just my busy life in general. Spart decided to buy the internet at our resort for her computer, but this is really the first time…

    Burnt Buns*

    Today I am a real winner. This week I decided I would like to be less of a brilliant white skin tone and started tanning again. It’s been about 8 months since I last went, but that doesn’t matter at all, right? Riiight. I played it safe on Tuesday and only went for 6 minutes. It felt sooo nice to be back in that warm, happy place. I was disappointed to see absolutely nothing change though, so I assumed I had not gone long enough. After school today I went back. I decided to be really brave and really up my time… by a minute. I mean, seriously–how much difference…
