Just when you think you’ve gotten every kind of weird email (from enlarging certain body parts to being my long lost cousin with millions to give me), I get another that I think why did you send this to me? Does anyone READ these after the subject says, “home treatment for hemorrhoids“? I mean really? Even if you have a need, do you trust these random emails? I mean I know lots of people that don’t even look in their spam folders. I do try to look at mine every so often (which is where I see these oddballs) but what is the point? What do they gain?

Yep! It’s 100 days until we are headed for our dream summer vacation celebrating Becka’s graduation from high school – a DISNEY vacation of course. I’ve really been thinking and trying to decide on a plan though to lost a few pounds. What better motivation than a Disney cruise to make you want to lose the pounds? So I’m trying to decide – what can I do (and stick to) to lose a few pounds? In my quest of a plan I’ve found some great ads – I’ve actually thought seriously about Nutrisystem, but I know I’m not going to do it, just not my thing, and found a list of the top 10 fat burners. That’s what I need – a way to get my body to burn more calories. I’m thinking I need a dedicated and pushy exercise buddy. Whatever I do, I’ve got to develop a plan and fast. Wish me luck

I’ve done a few quick posts, but I wanted to take an opportunity before calling it a night to just talk about life over the last few months (remember years for me go from September to August, not January to December). I did in fact change teaching fields from English to technology. I LOVE the change, but I also feel like I’m a first year teacher again, trying to come up with teaching strategies that work and constant lesson planning. I almost just want this year to be over so that I can actually start creating next year’s curriculum. I think I’ve about decided how to do do things.
Becka’s a senior. We’ve picked the college – we’re working on financial aid – but it looks like she’s heading for Texas A&M Corpus Christi. This year we are getting in a few more college classes (at the school’s expense), finishing up her last year in debate, speech, and drama. It’s hard to imagine life without her in just a few short months. I don’t know how I’ll make it through the month of May and the summer.
Cameron’s in 4th grade. We’re in the end of basketball season and getting ready to start softball season. We’re not doign dance and twirling class this year (boo! Ms. Emily).
Oh, and I’m dating. Yes, this single mom is not so single. It’s still new – not very far along yet, but I’m enjoying being back in more than the “random date here or there” scene. We have been dating since the end of October..there’s been some dates, but even better (or at least to me) is that he’s just as busy as I am so he understand and we’ve also done some hanging out at the house time.
This will be a crazy hectic week – district debate meet – but I will try my best to post at least two more times this week in between booking a Disney World vacation, paying off a cruise, finishing redoing my bathroom, straightening out my HSA, and getting a few insurance quotes.
It feels good to be coming back!

I’m sad. Why? Because my car, the first car I ever bought because I really, really wanted it, seems to be approaching its death and because GM isn’t making the Pontiac line, I don’t want it to die even more. If I could go buy a new Grand Prix, then I don’t think I’d be as upset, but because there’s nothing on the market I really want (except the 2010 Camaro). I’ve gotten those extended service plan / warranty things a million times and now I’m wondering should I have purchased one. I think I’d be out of it by now, but could I have kept in a little better condition before then? Ugh! Sometimes being a grown up sucks!

Today between the house renovations, I started searching online for a new unlocked phone. I haven’t had mine for very long, a year or so, but I’ve had the bug for a new phone for a couple months now. Over this weekend, my phone charger isn’t charging my phone. I’m not sure if it is the charger or the phone, but it’s just enough that I decided to start googling earlier today. But I’ve realized after looking through a ton of phones that if I get another, I might just have to get another line like mine – where’s the fun in that? But I have three major features I don’t want to do without and when I started looking, there aren’t that many choices out there. I want 1. a touch screen, 2. a slide out keyboard, and 3. the ability to wifi. It also has to be an unlocked phone as I’m on a network that is pretty local and has few choices on its network. Anyone have a phone out there with these criteria they think I’d like? My google search earlier didn’t turn up much.

I have SOO missed my blogging world – my sites, my blogging forums, reading my favorite people’s sites … so much. I’ve got to come back though. I’ve let my change in employment rule my world the last few months and not given blogging the attention I want to. I have missed it so much that I’m going to try to start coming back – slowly but surely. I’ll start with putting my focus here – where I’m just me and then slowly move back in to the review sites. My goal will be to write 3 or so personal posts a week along with mixing in the small reviews, random thoughts posts. And you guys have to help me not lose track of time and not post. If you start to see me slipping then I need comments and/or emails pushing me to get back on track!
