See the little check marks next to the RC. That means that I have given out (I use the term loosely) 118 grades.

+ Finished painting the better part of my house. Babysat the house while my own personal (tranny) floor crew sanded, fine edged, and applied finish to the floors of the house. Also, kept my cool when two carpenter's showed up smelling like weed to install TEAK flooring in my bedroom. I am happy it turned out beautifully. I never thought I'd get accustomed to taking my shoes off when I enter the house. I'm finding that I take my shoes off when at other people's houses.

+ Hosted my future in-laws in my own front driveway. They planned a visit while the floors were drying, so they got to stay in the driveway...in the camper they toted from Ohio. Sadly, I do not have a picture of this.

+ Witnessed the purple house getting refaced with sagey-puke color siding. Nice.

+ Visited the UMD campus. Very similiar to Delaware. Lots of red brick.

+ Made my return to San Diego. It was weird landing during the daylight, and not having to wait to day break to catch the 992 to downtown. I also took my first Bikram class. I humbly only completed about half of the poses. At one point I almost left the studio completely. I'm convinced the temperature was a few degrees hotter, and percentage of humidity was elavated as compared to what I'm used to at my 'home' studio. I left the class sore, and with a headache that I did not shake for 24 hours. Despite all this, I still wish there was a Bikram local to Newark, DE. It was wonderful.

+ Lewes, DE. AP Calculus training (enough said).

+ Freeport, Bangor, and Portland, Maine. Hiked up Mt. Katahdin (that's 5247 ft elevation folks). Visited Acadia National Park. Saw the L.L. Bean Outlet complex, and the hippies on summer vacation from Maine School of Art in Portland. Pictures to follow.

+ Signed my contract. I am officially a Math Instructor at the Delaware Military Academy starting next week! Teaching Calculus, Pre-Calc, and IEP math. !!!

+ Ben comes home from Cincinnati tomorrow. This week was his last roll-out of the summer. I am more anxious than usual for him to get home.

Again, pictures to follow

+ I am addicted to craigslist.

+ This upcoming week is WEEK 4 of the floor installation, and sanding and refinishing of the old flooring. The tranny's men will be applying two more coats of poly. After this is complete, there is a 1.5 waiting period before we can move furniture on the floor. Ben and I have been living out of the family room, kitchen, panic room, and half bath. We sneak upstairs when the workers leave to use the shower.

+ In case anyone is interested. Yes, I am sleeping in the same room as the killer hornet bee. Tonight I will be sleeping in this room alone.

In an effort to minimize bed space, and maximize sleeping capacity. I am debating buying one of these for the guest bedroom.



There is one on craigslist for cheap.

PROS - more space & I already own a full mattress. Beds splits apart as two separate beds.

CONS - It's a bunk bed.

our house.


Miami.


Day 1 was the bunny hill. Day 5 was the black diamond.


Okay - I'm exhaused now.

Yesterday I went to Target. Really, I had no business being out in public shopping. The frontal lobe of my brain feels like mush. I mix up words all the time. Yes and no. Up and down. Positive and Negative. Add and subtract. Imagine how stressful it is for the kids. Anyways back to MY story. I put an ironing board in my cart. And you know those are HUGE. Well I absent mindedly decided i HAD TO GO CHECK out the C9 atheletic section. I walked my cart over to that side of the store. Since it was so bulky I left it in the aisle. Everything was completely normal. Then I hurriedly decided it was time to go to the kitchenware section back on the other side of the store. I got my cart, and went. I was picking up a cutting board when I realized I had the wrong cart. I pushed/ran back to the other side of the store pretty quickly. HOW STUPID. How could I not realize that the cart I had was holding socks, and not a big ass ironing board.

I'm an idiot. I think my job is getting to me.

On the other hand I get to stay funny things all the time. Some of the ones I like are:

*MacKenzie, your conversation right now is leading me to beleive that you aren't doing the right thing." (<-- my favorite)

"Samantha, your behavior is not very becoming of you." (This silenced the whole class today)

"Angelique, this is high school not the fifth grade. We don't hit here."

"I don't enable you to be lazy by providing prewritten notes."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN.

Jack, Diet Wild Cherry Dr. Pepper, and for ice I have (drum roll please) ICE POPS. Yes these--> .

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES!!

Jess Tuite. Me. Jodee. Colleen. Kristie.




with the bride now.

I put my HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAUL message on facebook.

This past weekend I participated in the Delaware Marathon. I ran miles 25 and 26 in the Spark 26 team. Afterwards, Jodee and I hit up the vendor tents. Christiana Care had a whole tent with 20+ informational tables. I got the chance to pick up 5lbs of fat. (gross!) Did you know that a Big Mac contains Three 35mm film cases filled of this junk(fat). It's even more appetizing when you see it in person - all congealed up.

Keep the Peace - Avoid Grease!

I'm all wrapped up in this right now--->

+ LV, OH, AC, ATL, and now Baytown, Texas. I feel like i'm having the most traveled 6 months ever!

I've been selected to be one of the SPARK 26. The only 26 person relay team granted permission to compete in the DELAWARE MARATHON, May 20, 2007. My commitment is ONLY 1 mile, and I'll get a FREE PAIR OF NEW BALANCE SHOES. I'm hoping to get a pair of trail running/hiking sneakers.

Hot!!

this song first caught my attention by lyric only: if everyone shared and swallowed their pride.

This message is wonderful! I dare you to watch through to the last quote.

...soo gorgeous

Why is Katie G trying to be like me?
