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

Thanksgiving Plans?
We are staying home this year for Thanksgiving but as I’ve had my students planning their dream vacations for the last week, I’ve been thinking about how nice it would be to be heading out on vacation soon – some place warm and relaxing. I got an email today about myrtle beach vacation rentals and the beach sounds heavenly. 
Instead we’ll be putting up the remainder of our Christmas decorations and relaxing at home. I guess as busy as life has been it will be nice for it to just slow down some even if we are staying home….but I think I’ll still keep dreaming – warm, sand, sunshine, water…….yep…I’m there!

An Online Break
Do you ever take 100% online breaks? I took an unexpected one this week. It wasn’t meant to happen, but somehow it did, and I think it might have been just what the doctor ordered. I’ll pay now as I’ve made no progress on my to do list for Spring Break, but I really feel so much more energized and focused.
I left Sunday for Austin for the CX State Debate Meet with my students. We ate at Red Lobster, and I was happy to get lobster. I’d been craving it. And better yet I paid for it with a gift card I received from MyPoints. We also spent a couple hours at the mall and it was fun to just unwind and relax with a fellow teacher for adult time. :) I checked in online briefly Sunday night, but I knew we had a long day ahead so I turned in early.
Monday the debate tournament at UT took from 8 that morning until 9 that night. We were exhausted! We finished the night off at Chili’s where I had the worst Chili’s experience I’ve ever had (one of my top awful restaurant experiences ever). When we got back to the hotel, the kids piled up in our room, and we played Uno. By the time we quit and sent them to their rooms, I couldn’t hold my eyes open – so no online time.
Tuesday we slept in a little and then went and played tourist. I took the kids to the capital and such, and then they wanted to hit another mall. This was Spring Break so we headed across Austin (thank you Garmin) and hit another mall. It was much better than the one Sunday night so we spent more time there than we should. It was after 4 when we left so I hit rush hour. Ugh!
I finally got home at 10 last night. After visiting with Cameron a little because I missed her SOOOOO much, I went to bed again without checking in online.
This morning we met a new friend of mine and her mom at Ihop for breakfast. It was nice. Then Becka and I both had eye appointments. It’s been a busy few days, and I’ve missed my online world, but I feel so much better than I have in weeks. Hoping now to get lots of new content out and get some other blogs officially going.
SPRING BREAK HAS ARRIVED
Spring Break is here. We got out at 11:50 today and our week of vacation has officially started. I plan on spending lots of my time off here with you guys in the blogosphere so I can get a lot of the meme posts scheduled so I’ll have more time for personal posts and have grand opening going on next week at A Novel Mind. It will be a busy week and time will fly, but I’m going to try my best to be as productive as possible.
