(sorry to stick the cheesy 80's song in your brain)
Hi there...it's been a while, huh?
Just milking every last minute I can out of my summer vacation before school starts back NEXT WEEK! I can't believe August is right upon us. I am so dreading the beginning of a new school year, mostly because of the schedule. I never got into the "get to work on time" groove when I went back to work those last 5 weeks of the school year, and our summer schedule has been willy-nilly to say the least. Let's just say I'm in for a RUDE awakening come next Thursday. BUT, as a last hurrah (you might say), the hubs is whisking us down to the Gulf Coast for a long weekend. What a good man!
Am I the only one who is sick of summer TV? One thing I have enjoyed very much recently is "The World Series of Pop Culture," which is on VH1. I could so compete in a game show like this one, haha. Speaking of pop culture...I have to say I was surprised at this (not shocked, just suprised). And, what a piece of arm candy for Lance to have with Reichen Lehmkuhl.
And, since it's been a while since I've posted, I want to update on my Weight Watchers progress: 17.8 lbs! That's motivation enough to be super dedicated on our trip this weekend. I really want to hit that 20 lb. mark before school starts. Wish me luck (or willpower - haha)!

Good luck with back to school.
I am a teacher in Canada, and our summer holiday is basically the months of July and August. I can't believe how those months fly by.
You and I have a lot in common. I used to teach grade 7 (then grade 6, then grade 9, then grade 3...). This coming year, I'll have grade 5.
Also, I have been following Weight Watchers' principles since January (I'm afraid I'm not very good about going to meetings.), and I have lost 25 pounds. Good luck with your last 2.2 pounds!
Oh - BTW - I come to you via Blonde Mom.
