I haven't been home much this past week.  I think I needed a change of scenery anyway.  Here's what I've been up to:

• On Friday, we headed up to the condo in NH with Steve's family.  We hadn't been up there since last winter.  We saw some of the tornado damage on the ride up.  It was like nothing I have ever seen before.  There was a huge patch of ( Read more... )

Another week in July has flown by.  Unfortunately, it is the last week of the month.  I can't believe that August starts on Friday.  Although it is still summer, it's a month where our thoughts tend to turn toward the Fall (i.e. back-to-school shopping).  Even if I wasn't working in a school system with my lengthy summer vacation, I think I would ( Read more... )

This week was a bit calmer than the past few weeks have been which was a good thing.  I needed some down time to get some of my summer objectives taken care of.  Things are coming along slowly, but it's better than nothing.  I have also determined that I have been getting too much sleep so I have decided to make sure that I am awake before Steve ( Read more... )

Another week of summer has gone by quickly.  I think it seems to go by faster when there is a lot to do.  I am glad that I decided not to work this summer.  I feel like there is still a lot of stuff that I want to do before I go back to work in September.

• Friday, Saturday, and a good part of Sunday were spent on the Cape for Jack and Anina's wedding ( Read more... )

A lot has happened in the past week.  It seems to be making time go by faster too which is a shame because July is my favorite month of the year.  I hope that things slow down a little soon, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen until another week or so.  Jack and Anina's wedding is coming up this weekend.  Much of this week has been ( Read more... )

I have been away from home the last few days.  I have been visiting my family out in Holyoke.  It has been nice to be away.  I have liked spending the days with my mom when I would have otherwise been alone.  I do miss Steve though and I am looking forward to seeing him again on Thursday.  Here's what I've been up to:

• I enjoyed my first few days of ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my last day of work for the summer.  As I was driving away from the school, I had a feeling of disbelief.  I had been working like crazy up until the end.  I felt like I was going to have to come back again the next day. Usually, there is period of slowing down that transitions into vacation.  It seemed pretty abrupt to me.  Now that ( Read more... )

I can't believe that I am going to be on vacation at this time next week.  It definitely doesn't feel like it.  I have so much paperwork to take care of between now and then.  At least there is a light at the end of this very long tunnel.  Here's what we have been up to this week:

• Our fridge finally got fixed today!  I guess the part that we needed ( Read more... )

Yay for long weekends!  It's too bad they have to come to an end.  At least we have a short week to get through now.  Only three days until next weekend...am I pathetic or what?  On to my weekly blurbs:

• We met Heather for dinner on Friday night.  It was nice catching up with her.  We hadn't gotten together for awhile.
• Saturday was a do-nothing day ( Read more... )

It seems like the last few weeks have gone by in a blur.  I have been so buried in my work at times that I don't know where the time has gone.  A bit has gone on over the last week so I will get on with it:

• Steve accepted a new job at Red Hat.  It was not an easy decision for him to make, but he decided that he has always wanted to work there and he ( Read more... )
