Where in the world?

I started putting in some places I've been to.....have to had slept overnight for them to count......this isn't everything but I'll get there! My favorite place - Greece, hands down!

Thought for the day

Fair is not equal.

Really -- it isn't. I wish more people would get it, especially teachers!

TGIF!

Only 5 more Fridays of work! One of those is a half-day and one is the last day - teacher workday where usually everything is pretty much done and we just putter around doing those last minute things and packing up for summer - which always seems strange to me but that is another topic for another day.

It is supposed to be spring. We are 1/3 of the way through May. But there are frost warnings for tonight. What is wrong with this? Sunday is supposed to be rainy and in the high 40s. Happy Mother's Day! Seems like it might be a great day to just snuggle in bed with a good book!

And I do have another letter for Ned Yost:
Dear Ned,
I hope you guys win a game soon or I'm afraid they might start coming for you. I've heard that is one reason they brought Ted Simmons in as bench coach - so if there were problems he'd be an easy choice for promotion. 6 games in a row is too long for a losing streak!


Happy weekend to one and all!

The home stretch

25 "get up and get there days" left of school. Very, very excited for this tough year to be over. Once I'm on 'vacation' I am going to the spa to use my gift cert. to get a massage, facial, and manicure - and maybe a pedi too. Why? Because I deserve it...and I've had the gc since last Mother's Day and I just have to use it already.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

Who'd have thought that the thanks I'd get for teaching would come from a fast-food chain?! Chipotle, in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day, was again giving free burritos to educators. Sweet! Line was out the door and we weren't really planning on eating out but what the heck. Any excuse not to cook, right?!?! And since their burritos are king-sized I can have dinner on them tomorrow also. Cewl.

And for dessert? Gummi bears. Courtesy of my hubby. Yes, Mr. Deal (I challenge anyone to find more deals than he does) found one he couldn't resist - 5 lbs of gummi bears, 5 lbs of coke bottle gummies and another 6.5 punds of black licorice tasting gummies (can't remember what they are called). Can you say stomach ache? Good thing I don't like cola, black licorice, or green gummies!

Idol fans: Castro has to go this week, he just does!
