23 and counting!

So I am officially on the countdown until the last day of school. I have never been so ready to see a class move on to the next grade as I have this one! I love them, but enough is enough.






I attended my good friend Anna's wedding in Dothan this past weekend. It was a pretty wedding and the bride looked gorgeous. One of my favorite bands from Birmingham played--Livewire--and we had a blast dancing the night away.

The wedding made me really stop and think about how things are still continuing to change in my world. I am not one of those hermit crabs that hates change, but it does take some adjusting too like any other person. I am extremely happy for those who have found love, yet sad because I know that it won't be "just us girls" anymore. I have one friend that is moving back to her hometown this summer and another that is moving to Viriginia with her husband to get his MBA. I am really going to miss both of them.

On another note, my foot is still slightly swollen but slowly getting better. I still haven't been able to get back into my excercise routine (aka gym), but hopefully within these next few weeks I can get there. I am just enjoying the fact that I can wear sandals with straps around the ankle now....oh and heels :)

I have a babysitting gig this weekend. I will be babysitting two little girls-- 4 year old and a 9 month old. This is a friend of my sister's whose birthday is this week. They all want to go out and celebrate this weekend so I graciously volunteered my services. Hopefully it won't be too complicated and let's hope that I put on the diaper the right way this time--haha!

I am really missing Live 100.5 and my Ipod car connector lately. I just am not satisfied with my burned cds because they limit my songs to listen to. I have such a vast Itunes library that those few cds don't even begin to touch the stuff I like to listen to. Must send in car connector to be fixed ASAP!!!!

I applied for a summer job at a couple of golf courses in the area (Ross Bridge, Robert Trent Jones, and a few local ones). I haven't heard back from any of them and it has almost been 2 weeks. I don't know if I should call them or not....I was really wanting to get a summer job to keep me busy and of course make some extra money!

I think that I really need to start getting productive about doing some things to spruce up my townhome. I have a "dream" list that includes some of the following--painting the door/shutters black, trimming all the bathroom mirrors in border (like a frame), doing something to my backyard, etc. I really want to be all homey and productive, but it is so hard during the school year. That is why I have high hopes for the summer.

Books I am reading:
I have been on a huge Nicholas Sparks kick still. I am currently reading True Believer that is the first book in a 2 part series. So far, so good.

TV shows:
I am very disappointed that LOST did not come on tonight. I mean come on--there are only a few weeks left before it is gone forever! They can't just show a re-run one night to satisfy fans.
Glee continues to satisfy my love of music. There is talk of a Britney Spears themed episode which I think would totally rock.
I keep thinking that the new Bachelorette should be airing soon for the summer. I am interested in watching Ali and her men. I always get suckered in.....

Music I am listening too:
I have been listening to some Modest Mouse, Elton John, Sugarland, U2, John Mayer, and a very broad/random selection on my burned cd's.
See above note where I mention missing Live 100.5 because I am so behind on the new music. Though I will say--the shows on the CW have awesome music and I love to go to their website and search for songs I may like.

School Sillies:
Another 1st Grade teacher came into my room one day last week and just happened to call one of my students babydoll. Well that just sent them into fits laughing.
I had one last week who came up and hugged me. Then he pulled back, rubbed his hand on my stomach and asked if I was having a baby. I mean seriously!?!?
My students had to pick a virtual character to represent me in Music Class (not really sure why), but they picked a girl that looks like a hoochie momma from a foreign country. They tried to justify it by saying she had brown hair and brown eyes! haha
Teacher Appreciation week starts next week so hopefully I will get some good stuff.

Peace, Love and Happiness Readers!

April is Almost Over?

Well I have offically slacked on my blogging. Alot of happened this past April so I will do a little summarizing.....


Ahhhh April...the gorgeous blue skies, flowers and trees starting to bloom and warmer weather. It just makes me long to be outside ever spare minute I can.

I went to Destin the second weekend in April for a friends Bachelorette party. We stayed in a condo in Baytown--best place ever! We didn't have to leave for anything. Our condo was huge and overlooked Rum Runners. It was very entertaining to sit on the balcony and watch all the people stumbling out of the bars!







The past weekend was the only weekend that I will be in town. I spent it watching The Last Song with my sister (yes I saw the movie. In my defense I read the book and felt obligated to watch the movie. Of course the book is ALWAYS better), ate at Jackson's (flirted with the manager), layed out at my old apartments pool and attended a BBQ event at the Zoo Saturday. It was a perfect low key weekend that was much needed.

I will be traveling to Dothan, AL for the wedding of my friend Anna this weekend. One of my favorite bands in Birmingham (Livewire) will be playing at the reception, so I am pumped!

I have had a few problems with my health lately. Nothing too serious, just enough to aggrevate me. I have done my "time" with my foot brace (3 weeks) and go back to the Doctor tomorrow to get it checked out. It is still not completely back to normal, so I don't know what the doctor will recommend. Please pray that my health gets back to normal and I can stop having to go to some doctor every week.



TV shows: My favorite show GLEE is back!!! As I write this I am currently watching the Madonna themed episode and I am LOVING IT!!!
LOST has only 4 episodes left and I just can't get enough.
I will admit that I have given up some of my tv shows because there just isn't enough time with this lovely spring weather and the wanting to be outside all the time.

Songs:
My ipod connector in my car is currently out of commission due to a bad cable. I haven't sent it back in yet to be replaced and I have been forced to burn cds. Lucky for me, my car has a 6 cd changer and I have plenty of music to satisfy on my commute to work.
Miley Cyrus-When I Look At You. After reading The Last Song I just had to download the song. It is really good.
La Roux-Bulletproof. This is my current relationship theme song--ha!
In honor of Glee tonight--I will say that my Madonna will be added to my cd list in my car.

Peace, Love, and Happiness!
