Lots and lots of snow! We got close to a foot of snow from this storm. It looks really pretty, but the roads are still a mess. Unfortunately, I work for the Minneapolis School District, so I didn't get a snow day. BOOOO!!! My brother got a snow day...Yes, that means that HOPKINS actually closed school! It was freakin' pointless for me to go in ( Read more... )

Since there was so much inquiry into my trip to Laguna Beach, I thought I would share the details. I'm taking 2 days off work (Fri Apr 28 and Mon May 1) and heading to sunny CA. I'm going with Jayme, Mel and Sarah from the raspberry festival and a few other people. I have no idea what our plans are...at this point it's just relaxing on the beach ( Read more... )

April appears to be the month of travel for me. I'm going to visit Dana in D.C. from March 31-April 6, I may make a trip to Ripon the weekend of April 8 for formal, and now it looks like I'm headed to Laguna Beach at the end of April. :-) Yea for fun trips with friends ( Read more... )

Grr...I am very frustrated with technology right now. I have pictures (including one of Matt) that I want to get off my digital camera, but my family's computer is OLD and decrepit so I can't get it to work. I've tried at least 5 times to intall the program, but it just won't work. I've tried other methods, and those too just result in me ( Read more... )

Tonight was conferences...wa-hoo...or not! I had 5 parents show up (for 6 of my students). That didn't really help me occupy the 4 hours I had to sit in the cafeteria. At least I got my grading done and some planning too. After conferences some of us went out to the bar. It was a good time. Tomorrow we have District-Wide Staff Development. ( Read more... )

Just a quick update...I did really well at bowling tonight. I got a 105, a 179 and a 126! The 179 is the best score I've ever bowled! Wa-hoo!!

There was much excitement on my street today. My neighbor's house across the street caught on fire this afternoon! We had 6 fire trucks, a police car, and an ambulance, and at least 30 firefighters, a cop and 2 paramedics, along with a bunch of neighbors all on my little, tiny street. (For those of you who don't know, I live on a tiny cul-de-sac ( Read more... )

It was quite a busy weekend. I chaperoned our Conference Youth Event for church, so I was in Hutchinson from Friday to Sunday afternoon. There were tons of activites and very little sleep, but it was fun. Yesterday I had the day off (yea President's Day!), which was much needed. I slept in until 10:45, then met Matt for lunch. After he went ( Read more... )

I was right about last Thursday...Matt did get us tickets to the Wild game. We ended up missing the first period since traffic was terrible because of snow, but that was okay since we didn't miss any goals. Unfortunatly, the Wild lost, but it was still a lot of fun ( Read more... )
