Is it really over?

Well, it's official! Spring break is over. I'm sitting in the computer lab at 6:26 pm waiting for my students to finish taking a test. 

Spring break was a great adventure for my little family. We spent 10 days touring Italy and Greece with 40 other people, some of whom I would not want to tour with again!! And to set your mind to rest, yes the Italian men are very pretty but I thought they had an ego the size of David's you know what. The Greek men were just as pretty but with more self-confidence. And I did not see one ugly police officer in Greece! I actually tried to get arrested!!

Another day in paradise

Went last week to see Jimmy Buffett. I'm guessing the average age was 55!! We had a blast...tailgaiting, visiting with new Parrotheads, eating sushi and great music. One person I would see again.

Today also starts my spring break!!! Time away from the computer and phone. Lovely!

Just got a call from Ashley that her dog Belle had gotten hit today and died.  That was the ugliest dog on earth but she loved her so much. I'm 45 minutes away and she is on her way to work so I can't wrap her in a huge hug and I hate that. People say your children eventually leave the nest, I hope mine never leave it!!!

Long time no post

Well, this week is an exciting one for me and the fam. We are leaving for a trip to tour Italy and Greece. Of course Murphy's law went into effect on Saturday. I had partially dried on load of clothes, had another on standby and the dryer decides to stop. It was like it had a stroke, the brain (electronics) kept telling it to start but the body wouldn't rotate. Kind of like my brain tells my legs to walk and I walk straight to the fridge. Anyway I hope to have the dryer fixed today or I may be taking dirty clothes with me. I'll just wear them and leave them!!

Life has been going along really well lately. One daughter is on her own financially and the other is a full time student with a job and paying bills. Hubby and I have the empty nest syndrome but are loving it except for the long haired dachshund we inherited when our daughter moved out. Anyone in need of a dog???

Now, my dissertation......hmmmmm that is another story. I'm being pushed back by the day getting my committee to meet so I can defend. I'm beginning to feel used and I didn't even get dinner out of the deal!!!
