Memorial day at my house is such a good time. The parade, the food, the friends. That's really all I want to say.

What does everyone else do for the holiday? I feel like unless you have a parade that goes right down your street, no one really does much for Memorial Day except be excited that you don't have to work.

Pretty much every morning when I wake up, I have no desire to go teach. Every day I hope that there will be a half day I forgot about, or an assembly, or a snow day...is this unusual or potentially bad? I mean not a lot of people like their job but seriously every day I think to myself that I would rather just not teach. Even if I think it will go well (which it usually doesn't, haha...), I know that I would much rather just go back home and do something else. I wonder if this means I chose the wrong profession...probably not. I can see that it is hard to look forward to something that you don't think you have gotten the hang of or feel totally sucessful at yet.

How many other people feel this way in the mornings???

It's been awhile folks. First of all, go Sabres!!!!! How exciting would it be if we won the Stanley Cup. I think maybe the best part of it would be that (e:Mike) and I would have an excuse to play the Ricky Martin CD a lot more - Cup of Life, of course, but we may let the CD run to hear a Spanish Hercules song or two...

As (e:Mike) already wrote about, we exercised our vast knowledge of rock music and tightness last night while munching on delicious cookies and freezing our buns off. Just remember when 'Swami' becomes the next rock and roll legend, we were responsible.

I am totally okay with not working very much this summer and being able to go visit people. I've already saved up a decent amount of money from my long-term job, so I'm okay with having a not-as-high paying job this summer. On my list of places to go (some day trips, some a bit more extensive)

- Colorado for my cousin's wedding
- Boston to see (e:Maureen)
- Letchworth to camp with a couple friends from school
- Long Island to visit a different friend from school
- Toronto for the day
- New York City...okay I probably won't go there but I haven't been there in awhile and I feel like we're due for a trip there
- The BEEEEEEEEEEEEACH

((e:Jessbob) I totally would put Albany on my list but I don't know if I'm ready to go back to Albany b/c of a certain somebody that lives there and that I would think of nonstop if I was there! I like Albany though. You should take a weekend and go hike in the Adirondacks. I do miss those mountains, if nothing else.)

Where else does anyone want to go this summer???? As I said I am way more interested in having a great time this summer going places rather than making a lot of money. Let me know!..........

i just conducted my first concert :)
