Ready!

Hey there, Amanda.

Thanks for being in touch and checking in on me. As it turns out the week ended well--especially given how it started. But Wednesday we had our big induction ceremony, which went very well;  Thursday I was off for a leisurely day before being weighed and splayed (which meant I missed being given accolades for my work with the honor society at the faculty meeting I missed); and yesterday, of course, it was Friday. Even the worst Friday is Friday, which is always followed by Saturday.

Last night I went to see the kids before prom. The town in which I teach has a tradition of getting together at the town green for pictures. Lots of people turn out, including some teachers and alums, to see the kids in their dresses and tuxes, posing in their finery in the beautiful gazebo. I haven't been "to the green" as they call it in years, but decided it was in line with having a good year with my students, and something else to offset the administrative nightmares we've been having. In any case, I'm glad I went. And I'm glad the kids had good weather.

It's actually hot this weekend--July-like, but I can't really enjoy the sun properly until next weekend. But trust me, next weekend I will be enjoying every bit of sunshine, poolside as much as possible. As if I even need to tell you that. As for this weekend I don't have anything going on really. I had my weekly steak after going to the green last night, and today ran errands. I also tried a new sushi place (where my friends from OB go) and it was great. I'm glad to have a place close by...but have a feeling it may be dangerous. On the other hand, take out is cheaper than eating out and sushi is pretty easy on waist, no? Whatever. I like it. It's light yet filling. When I have sushi I feel full without feeling gross--and that'll be a nice option this summer when I don't feel like cooking, or getting dressed to be in public...

God, I can't wait!! I am a different person in the summer, as you know. And I'm more than ready for my transformation...

Hope you're having a good weekend.

Love you,
Barb
