I am at the point in the move where all the big stuff is moved, and there is just small boxes and random stuff. I decided to let go of an "antique" dresser I have had for years. It's great, but it was always that "where should it go?" piece, and won't fit. Plus now I don't have to try to get it to the storage unit. Just another piece of the past I am letting go of! :) I still have to pack up the kitchen, but now the roomie's stuff is out, so it should be pretty easy. I am thinking of packing my dishes for storage, since the new place actually has a full set of dishes! At least at this point, they will go with me, but I will see if it's worth it to unpack them. Maybe next time I will do the big Uhaul thing, but since it was a bit random when people could help me, I couldn't have done it all in one day. Trying to get everything that is going to the Cottage with me done today, and be able to pick-up any storage unit stuff tomorrow, so I can go out tonight (if I can find my clothes! LOL). Here's to the last couple days of moving crap! :)
Finally back home, and getting somewhat coherant. I will post a recap of my trip as soon as I can gather my wits! I was just happy to sleep in my own bed!! :)
After absolutely loving Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I decided to pick-up Jane Slayre, which is an update of Jane Eyre with a "vampyre" twist. I really want to read Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, but I think I missed it being in bookstores. That is by the same guy that did P&P&Z. I almost grabbed Android Karena, but decided that was just too big for summer reading. :) I'll let you know if it's as fun as P&P&Z was. :)
I have hair that is red with blonde in it, from what I can tell, a bit darker red than people usually call strawberry-blonde. I have always wanted to be an auburn red, or just more red. I have never colored my hair, and don't want to do anything permanent, but I am thinking of getting a henna rinse. Anyone have any feedback on using henna? Does it really just fade out after a few weeks?
Perfect sleeping conditions...not to hot, not too cold, fresh sheets, pillows just right...then a nice cool morning and a fresh cup of coffee...some mornings are just awesome to wake up to. :)
Found a recipie online to make an Orange Julius! Then figured out....add VODKA! So now I am finishing my finals and drinking a creamy, smooth, alcoholic concoction. WOO! :)
While I grade an obnoxious stack of papers, I take mental breaks to plan some stuff for fall (is that strange?). I have some ideas for how I ant to change up things I did this year. I almost consider this my first year since I had all new preps. Luckily I don't consider it a new year in terms of classroom management, even though I will be evaluating what I did right and wrong this year.
There are two big areas I am looking at right now: Current Events and Essays. ( Collapse )
