it’s been a rough couple of nights (well, days) for me, lately. i’ve been forced to stay up into all hours of the morning to watch the red sox come back valiantly against the hated new york yankees. i’m lovin’ it. game 7 tonight.
Cool New York
This is a cool new t-shirt I got. (I actually got it awhile back, but I’m just now posting it.)… Anyhow… It’s for my kids at school, most of whom [sadly] did not know that there was a whole state and not just one big city. They are realizing that upstate New York is as […]
Dixie Classic Un-Fair
It was Fair weekend. An excursion to be remembered. Firstly, it took us over an hour from the time we left our house, until we were parked and walking in. (Seems we were trying to arrive as the many Wake Forest fans were trying to escape the same vicinity). Then, we ate. And ate and […]
The Curse
Stayed up late tonight watching baseball. The Yankees won in the bottom of the 12th, and that sucks. And, the Red Sox are playing on the west coast (currently tied 1-1), so I’ll have to wait until the morning to catch the end of that. I’m a little disappointed with myself for staying up this […]
Just Lucy and Me
It’s been just me and Lucy here for awhile. Derek has been out of town (in Vegas) since Tuesday. He’ll be back this Tuesday. I took Lucy to a Forbush football game on Friday night. They lost. Lucy frollicked with my mentor’s puppy. Then, we returned to scenic Yadkinville on Saturday to play with Teresa […]
Frazzled Nerves
So……. My teaching observation is almost here. Seems like just yesterday, that I found out the date and started stressing. And, now, it’s here. And I’m still stressing. I’ve barely eaten since Sunday night, and I anticipate my lack of hunger will only grow. The lack, that is. Not the hunger. Then, I think I’ll […]
Texas Roadhouse
Let’s see…. Derek and I started off our weekend with a tasty trip to the newly opened Texas Roadhouse. I had a great meal (prime rib, caesar salad, and sweet potato… not much variation, here). Above picture details the devouring… Derek’s Filet was a little undercooked — and that’s hard to do for him. There […]
Parent Conferences, Etc.
Another Picture-less update…. We have parent conferences today. Fun times, fun times. I hope I don’t have any angry parents. I can always fall back on the “I’m a new teacher” line of reasoning. If that fails, I’ll just hide, I guess. 🙂 In related news… I somehow managed to get “Staff Member of the […]
Just Another Manic Monday
Just checking in… Not much to report here. School is as usual. The kids come. They sit. They bore. They talk. They leave. I start the process over again. It’s magical. Lucy is starting to settle in. At least we think that’s what’s happening. She’s a lot more (very a lot more) playful. The house […]
