nothing much

Well well well. Summer program has ended and none too soon. It was a great time. Things went smoothly and I got to meet new folks and work with some cool cats. Also, I love a lot of those kids so seeing them every day for three weeks a year is t-riff. All of that said, I'm tired and I need a break. Tuesday I fly to Michigan, and fly home again the following Tuesday. In between I have to take my mom to the doctor, go to my 20th h.s. reunion, and I hope to make it to the beach. I miss real beaches. Last night, I referred to Galveston as an ashtray.

Lots of little things and projects to work on around the house in July, lots of invitations for dinner and fun, plans to go to Schlitterbahn, piles of books to read.

Today, though, I might just do nothing much.

and it's only 1:45

Yesterday I vacuumed the house and then we had our dog party. Today I cleaned the catbox, the bathrooms (see the parallel?), and am doing laundry. Also, I tried to put away some non-office stuff that was cluttering up the (unpacked) office. The dogs are clearly exhausted by my efforts! Hubby cleaned the guinea pig cage and then went off to get a haircut and groceries. Yesterday he cleaned up the garage and made it so that I can park my car in there. I'd say this has been a hella productive weekend.

duh duh....duh duh....

Fam coming over to watch Jaws, which I've never seen. Twizzlers: check. KitKat: check. Popcorn: check. Dogs that sound like Chewbacca: check. Think we're ready!

kites & frights

The summer program chose a "space" theme for this year. I put myself in charge of decorating a bulletin board for our dissection class and chose an alien autopsy as the main attraction. That was fun to do! I am also teaching a class with kites and so far have contributed zero to that effort. Oops--better get my butt in gear.

Hubby is working on the garage ceiling again. They fixed the big hole yesterday and I think are covering up a smaller hole, made when we had the dryer vent moved, today.

I need to do laundry, but cannot until they are finished in the garage. I hope that will be soon. For now I am goofing off and thinking of minestrone soup for dinner.

in the swing

In-service for my summer program started today. I am feeling curiously detached, possibly because I haven't known for very long that I would be involved. It's weird being at a different school, and scrambling for enough stools for the lab, and figuring out how to split a class in two that shouldn't really be split that way. I'm giving myself a bit of time to connect, but kids start coming on Saturday, so I don't have much time.

Second and last day of vacation, until July 3rd. So far went running, had a coffee morning, visited the grocery store, deposited a check and ordered a rug from Pottery Barn. I'm also doing laundry. Things I still need to do: figure out a storage solution for our dvds, etc., weed the front garden, finish the laundry.

Got my haircut and caught up with my hairdresser. What a cool lady. Then I walked over to the library to see who was around. I chatted with some folks and then walked over to Einsteins with my friend, who bought me a drink, and came back home. It's been a nice, easy day. I need to unpack some more boxes before I call it a day, but I'm very much in vacation mode.
