The weeks goes by way too fast. I cannot believe it is Sunday night already!
Five Things I Am Happy About Right Now :
1. Fall is coming. It's my favorite season!
2. Football
3. My grad class starts tomorrow - in 15 weeks I will be a reading teacher!
4. A dinner date this week with my teacher friends!
5. Awesome deals with my teacher discount at Office Depot today! I love to save!
I am have a sweet Saturday!
Here is why:
1. I worked an early shift at my part time job and have the rest of the day to myself!
2. DH and I went to an early dinner of yummy pasta!
3. I am now surfing the web, relaxing on the couch, and watching football!
4. I found a great deal on a cute sweater at Old Navy! They are having an awesome Fall sale this weekend!
I love days like this!
I cannot believe it is the middle of the week. What is worse is I keep thinking it is a different day. I woke up to a gloomy, raining day and I am feeling a little down.
I really love the Fall and I have always loved this time of year. I loved being a student and loved back to school. I guess that is why I became a teacher. Setting up my classroom and getting ready for a new class was always exciting for me.
Since I have been subbing the last few years, this time of the year always gets me a little down because I do not have my own classroom. I am feeling a little down today.
I will be happier when grad school is back in session and I am very busy.
After all: This too shall pass!
I have been caught up in reading the second book in the Twilight series, that I just forgot my weekly post. LOL ! Well, here it is:
Five Things I am Happy About Right Now:
1. Having the Internet to compare book prices and then finding cheap textbooks on amazon.com. WOO HOO!
2. A Sunday of reading & relaxing!
3. Knowing that FOOTBALL season is right around the corner!
4. Seeing the tutoring I have been doing all summer has paid off. I love when I give my student an assessment test, and there are sections where she scored 100%!
5. A week ahead to relax and de-clutter around the house!
It has been a LONG week. I have worked everyday since Sunday. I worked my part time job three days and my usual tutoring three days. I guess the reason why it seemed so long was because I had very early shifts this week! I am still so much on summer mode and the early hours just tucker me out! I actually took a nap yesterday b/c I was so sleepy!
I have been busy. I went to a dedication on Tuesday right after work (which I made it to in the nick of time - my relief never showed up at work!) I also went out to dinner last night with some girlfriends. We had fun!
The week has be HOT, HOT, HOT!!! I guess the dog days of summer arrived in August! It was nice to be able to swim Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday! Wednesday, I did some chores around the house and went through some boxes in the basement. I ask you, " How does one acquire so much stuff and then NEVER use it!" I am sure I could throw out more stuff next week, but will I??
All I can say is : TGIF! I do not work at all this weekend. I am getting a pedicure and going shopping with Mom Sat.! Sunday is one chore ( the chore I hate : THE BATHROOM - YUCK!). Then the day is mine!
AHHH.... Time to RELAX!
Five Things I am Happy About Right Now:
1. A sunny weekend with 90 degree days which means more pool time for me!
2. A surprise free ticket to go see a preseason football game! WOO HOO! I LOVE football season!
3. I have three days at my part time job, which means extra money! (I need it - I have some books to buy for my fall grad class!)
4. The part for our washer is FINALLY in.. no more carting wash to my Mom's... LOL
5. Two weeks of reading of whatever book I want before I start my grad class. Hmmm.. where should I start?
Hanging Out with my Starbucks at Rockefeller Plaza
Great Food !
Central Park
The Empire State Building at Night!
We walked all over (and only found our selves lost twice), we ate delicious food, we went to The Met, and we rode the Gray Line tour bus so we could see all of Manhattan. We shopped on Canal Street where I bought some wonderful pashminas I cannot wait to wear this fall! We went to the Empire State Building at night and it was amazing. We also went to Times Square at Night and I cannot even imagine the electric bill. LOL !
Our weekend getaway was TOO QUICK, but sooooo amazing!
NYC, these are the reasons why I LOVE THEE ! DH and I can't wait to go back!
Tomorrow at this time I will be in Times Square, having a weekend getaway!
I can't wait. I will have to post my Sunday night happiness on Monday. I am sure it will about my little trip!
I just love NYC! The people, the buildings, the shopping, the diversity, the excitement are just some of the wonderful things about NYC!
Today was bittersweet! It was the last day of my summer grad class.
I have really enjoyed it. I love taking summer classes. They are busy, interesting, quick, and a LOT OF WORK.... But soooo worth it!! The lesson I was worried about went well and our group did get an A on it! YAY! I turned in my final paper today and felt a sense of accomplishment and relief too. It is nice to have a little break. (I must also admit I am sitting her wondering what the heck I will do with this extra time for three weeks - LOL)
If I could get paid to go to school, I would do it! I love being a student and learning new things.
I have three weeks of freedom before I go back for another class! I am not sure what I will do with this extra free time... maybe some more POOL TIME!
It has been a relaxing Sunday. I should have been writing my final paper, but I was web surfing and procrastinating instead.
I have been too excited about my NYC trip with the DHto think about my paper. LOL We will be there Friday night. I will be in Times Square & at the Empire State building on Friday night... OH I CAN'T WAIT!
So.. Here are my "Five Things to be Happy About Right Now"
1. Lazy Sundays!
2. Sunny days by the pool.
3. A sense of accomplishment now that my grad class is almost over.
4. Discovering carmel macchiato creamer while food shopping! I REALLY enjoyed my coffee & Sunday paper today!
5. I have made it to body sculpt 4 weeks in a row. I hope to keep it up. I wanted to add to my workout.. and weights once a week seems the way to go!
What are you happy about right now?
Where the heck did July go?
Today is August 1st! I cannot believe it.
For a teacher, like me, that means that summer vacation is half over!
What the heck happened?
I blame the rainy month of July. I was spending my Tuesdays writing papers for grad class. Working & tutoring (which I did not do last summer) kept me busy. These are all wonderful things, but where oh where has July gone?
I have NOT had enough pool time. I hope that changes for August! Summer is just too darn short, after all!
