another week gone by...

Well, week three down and it was hectic. Parent's night is under my belt and now it's on to GIEP's. I have two this week and then I need to schedule two more for revisions. I love my job, but I really dislike writing GIEP's. Now that I think about it, I don't dislike writing the GIEP, I dislike the forms...with the way technology is today, one would think the forms would work. Geesh, it takes me longer to make the form look professional than it does to write the GIEP. I just need to get through the week and then I am golden. Thursday's meeting will be the tough one. Say a prayer for me and wish me well.

Saturday was a fun day. I spent it at my LSS cropping from 8AM-10PM. I worked all day long on my Alaska album. I am getting closer to finishing, but not near done! To tell you the truth, I am not tired of the Alaska photos, but I am tired of trying to find paper to match the photos. It was great to see friends and just connect and laugh.

Today was the usual...groceries and laundry. Lighty ended up going for a long bike ride today to see his prince and buddy. No need for me to go with him. So, I didn't make the trek to Bloomsburg. No love loss there...and believe me, I am so not wanting the prince to come home for his Thanksgiving break. It's been just too peaceful here at the house.

So now it's off to prepare supper and then a full night's worth of GIEP writing and schoolwork. Have I said it often enough "I really dislike Sunday nights."

Here's to a smoothe night of writing goals, plenty of glasses of iced tea, and lots of breaks for my sanity.

Sunday Night Blues

Well, it's my Sunday night post...least favorite time of the week. I had a good weekend. I made more sauce...so many tomatoes from the garden and I didn't want to have to throw them out or have them go bad on me. I also made another batch of fresh salsa. I love having this for my lunch. Nothing better than a little bit of salsa, some scoops, and vanilla yogurt with some granola. I am trying to eat a little bit healthier for lunch this year.
I also was able to do a little bit of shopping this weekend too. I scored some pants that were on sale, a very cool jacket, a few tanks (I love me some tanks and wear them all year long), a great sale at Vicky's (had to stock up on my lotion, body spray and shower gel), and bought a new cool belt and purse. Retail therapy is always good for the soul!

So, here's to a new work week and hoping it goes by fast.

the end...

The end of a work week is soon here and it will be time to celebrate. Do you see me doing the happy dance? I don't have much planned this weekend except to get caught up on laundry and to make some more fresh salsa. Our tomato plants will soon be gone so I have to enjoy the freshness while I can. I should also dispose of the plants that are dieing a slow death around the outside of the house. I also hope to scrap the weekend away. I am slowly making a dent in our Alaska album. I guess that is why I don't have much to show you in LO's. I do have a LO that I did about a week or so ago. It is a photo from last summer...catching a locust escaping from its shell. So cool.


Here's to Nyquil, Mucinex and a Vick's Inhaler!!!
