And the winner for avoiding work goes to...

...me!! LOL Okay, so I did get some work done. I am now up to November. Which makes me think that I should be taking a break in remembrance of Thanksgiving. : ) (I knew I should have written that book of excuses!!)

What have I been up to? Hmmm...well, first there was the teaching of summer school, an oxymoron of course, because neither the students or the teacher really want to be at school. I do hope that I inspired the students to at least write just a little bit. We also had some great conversations and I bruised myself. Fun time.

Next there was a trip to Laughlin. I got to see a cover band for Bon Jovi and that was cool. The rest of the trip, well, we can just delete that.

Around the trip, though, I got to see my two bestest best friends, Kerrianne and Annie, and their families. That was awesome!! We got to go to the park, swimming, and lunch. It was great seeing them both again, even though I think it made me miss both of them even more. Hopefully, it will not be long before I can see them again.

Then we come to the concert. 3 Doors Down, prefaced by Parachute and SafetySuit. It was amazing...exciting...and a really fun time. Ashley was there with some of her friends and a lot of other friends and family were there as well. Almost everyone went home happy (I did have one friend who didn't like the music...).

And now we come to today. *sigh Well, I got some laundry done, dishes done, exercised on the WII Fit for day 2 (I had taken a wee break), and then started work on the longest project of my LIFE. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I doubt it. I am to plan a month-by-month timeline for 6th-8th grade English that is correlated to the standards. As I mentioned before, I am up to November for 6th grade. The good news is that once I finish 6th grade, the other grades SHOULD just fall into place. I hope.

That brings us up to speed. If any of you care to know what I am watching, though, it's the BBC production of Robin Hood. It's quite good, mabe a bit melodramatic, but then again, I love drama.

A fare thee well to all...
