Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Rome We Go.

November 29, 2011

In less than two weeks we will be boarding a plane headed for Rome.  While I am so excited about this adventure, especially since it is the first one like it as a married couple, I am also terrified. You see, when I went to England 10+ years ago I was sick as a dog the entire trip. I never felt nausea, but the smell of food immediately make me start up chucking my life out. I can't stop worrying...

A Christmas Card Time of Year

November 28, 2011

It is that time of year again in our little household...the time where I constantly try to bribe Jeremy into taking a Christmas picture with me. I imagine it will be much easier once we have kids, but these days it takes a lot of convincing. Luckily he is totally game this week, yay me! We decided to get our cards from Tiny Prints this year and I can honestly say this is becoming quite the tough...

November 20, 2011

I hope everyone is having a great weekend, I know all the teachers in the universe are rejoicing over this week break! With other jobs I've had a few days for Thanksgiving was fine, but with education it seems like everyone I know is burned slap out by now...even the kiddos!  So next to seeing family, there is nothing I am more thankful for than a few days to sleep in and recoup.  My Mom...

Jazz Half Marathon/5K

November 15, 2011

A few weeks ago we went to New Orleans Halloween weekend and ran in the Jazz Halfmarathon. Well, Jeremy ran the half, I opted for the 5k. You couldn't drag me tied up behind a truck for a half marathon. However every time I say I am not a runner while I am wearing the new running shoes Jeremy agreed to let me get he gives me an awful glare. But let's face it, some people just don't run unless they...

{the least surprising verdict on prime time}

November 7, 2011

Who else heard the Conrad Murray verdict today?  I honestly was not surprised that they found him guilty. But honestly there were a lot of guilty people here. Michael Jackson supposedly took things without Murray "knowing" and let's not forget that dermatologist that got him hooked on demerol. Of all things to get hooked on though, demerol? It makes me sick. Sick sick.  However,...
