For the millionth time (and I’m never sure why), I attended the Strawberry Festival parade. Matt had to march in it, so I figured I’d go along for the ride. I had nothing else to do. Since most of you did not get to grace the parade with your presence, I will let you know all about it. I want you to feel like you were really there ( Read more... )

It's Matt's birthday today. Let me tell you of the festivities ( Read more... )

Teaching phys. ed. class can be a horrifying experience! The horrifying part started when a huge fourth grade class entered the gym and asked me if they could play "Indian Ball." I figured it was ok.

I exercised almost all day. My only break was when I lounged around in the afternoon for a couple hours. It was very much needed. I refuse to gain a single ounce ( Read more... )

Ok, folks. It took me a long time to figure out a trip, but I've decided to go to Cedar Point. I haven't been there in a long time, and I even found others to go along with me. It fits all of my criteria for a trip. We can drive there and it is not too expensive. I am getting a hotel deal that only costs us $46 a night. And it's not even a creepy ( Read more... )

I'm trying to plan some trips away from this little-no-good-place. The gossipy atmosphere - that I once enjoyed - has now gotten out of hand ( Read more... )

I just love the "latest health news." Check this one out ( Read more... )
