MIA

I know I have been MIA the past few days, but I am back!

I have been working my butt off trying to get my grad work done. I was at school until 7pm on wednesday night working. But it has really paid off. I completed 3 papers on wed night and I am done all that I can do for the time being. I have 6 "artifacts" left before I am finished! I have to attend one more grade/subject level meeting other than science and write a paper. I am conducting the bus evacuation drill next thursday and have to write a reflection. I have to complete my time sheet logging all my internship hours which is supposed to be 300+ hours, but I am way over 300. My mentor has to fill out my final evaluation, I have to complete a final powerpoint presentation about my internship and then my RSVP reflection on my internship experience. Nothing that requires much work so I am happy :)

I could walk at graduation on May 23rd, but I think I will pass since it is the saturday of memorial day weekend and I don't want to pay for my gown, hood, and tassel. It would cost over $150. Plus I only know 3 people graduating with me, so it wouldn't be fun.

Today is 100 days until my wedding! I am starting to get excited now that I have started finishing up my grad work. My mom and Marvin's mom have been working on our shower. It will be on Sunday May24th. It is a couples shower because I really hate being the center of attention and I think there is nothing worse than sitting around watching someone open presents for hours, especially since the person completes a registry and most presents come straight from the registry. Why is that supposed to be fun?

So the shower is May24th at Marvin's parents house on the Eastern Shore. The house is BEAUTIFUL and it is right on the water. My only other requirements was that the volleyball net be set up and we have alcohol. I don't know anything more than that, but I can't wait.

My friends have been setting up the bachelorette party. It will be on June 20th, one week before the wedding. I am not sure exactly what we are doing or where we are going, but I do know that we will be meeting up with the bachelor party at some point. I thought this would be nice for my friends since most of them date or are married to one of the guys and I thought it would be good for me and Marvin so we can dance and have a good time together. We both don't want to go to a strip club, although one of my ex-students strips at the Hanger club by Andrew's Airforce Base. That would be gross!

I can't wait for warmer weather! It puts me in such a good mood and I love being outside. I can't wait to be able to have BBQ's again and eat deviled eggs. Yes, nothing is better than having a good hamburger and deviled eggs. Bring on the nice weather!

Happy 1st day of Spring! I'm going to Rita's to get a free italian ice :)

TGIF!

First of all, I completed #21 on my list, which was to say the pledge at school. I did a fabulous job! Didn't mess up :)

Even though we had off monday and tuesday and had a 2 hour delay wednesday, I feel like this week dragged on. My kids were crazy and we still have 4 full weeks until spring break. I hope I survive! I am so glad the weekend is here. No big plans. The only thing Marvin and I have planned is a game night at Melanie and Jayson's. We may go hiking on sunday since it is supposed to be so nice. Finally, warm weather!

# 27 and # 66 complete

I had my dermatologist appt yesterday, #27 on my list. That is one thing I have been meaning to do before the wedding. My appt was at 3:30 so I arrived around 3:25. I walked into the waiting room to find all 19 chairs filled. I knew it was going to be a long wait. I signed in and then waited for an open spot. I was not called back to wait by myself in the patient room until 5:07 and was out of the office by 5:30. It was such a long wait for a 5 minute appt. All she did was give me a prescription to clear up my face and some lotion for dry skin in the winter. I hope this stuff works. . .

Marvin and I got our taxes done yesterday. We have a friend do our taxes and while he was downstairs working we sat upstairs with his wife and watched tv. At 8, last weeks episode of lost came on. I was expecting something great since everyone raves about this show, but I really can't stand it. I thought I would write it down on my 101 list to give it a try. So my goal was to watch lost. Granted it was a show from the 5th season and the only other episode was the first ever, but I really don't like it. Sorry for all those that do, but I just can't get into it.
