This one's for you Mary!

So I have been thinking on what to blog. My sister is a prolific blogger and I just can't do the daily sort of blogging she does. I don't mean to stop blogging for as long as I do, I just sometimes feel the words don't come to me right.

So today when Mary commented to me in the ladies room at work that I hadn't blogged in a bit I thought a few things: 1. My husband said that to me not too long ago.
2. Aww, someone reads my blog!
3. My next blog post would be dedicated to Mary!

So thank you Mary, for caring enough to say something and getting my writing juices flowing again! More posts coming soon!

Happy New Year!

Wow, it has been longer than I meant since my last post.  I have started to post a few times then deleted it, mainly because I felt I didn't have much to say.

Maybe my blogging hesitation has been because I am really enjoying my break.  I have 3 weeks off for the winter, and I am in my final week.  My break started off busily because of my son's 6th birthday, then Christmas Eve and Christmas, then it slowed down some for me to just relax instead of running around before New Years.  I am not one to go on and on about what I did over the holidays, but lots of fun was had!

I am vacationing now in Big Bear with my family, and soon will be in Seattle visiting my best friend.  I am getting my head back into work mode by finally doing some lesson planning and grading in this final week as I just chill...literally it seems!  Sure is cold out!

I have enjoyed not thinking about work and I really miss my trimester breaks.  My summer break will be a long one...8 or 10 weeks or something.  I hope to do some traveling then too.  Discovery conferences are always the highlight of my summer breaks, but this break is sooo much longer than I am used to another trip might be in order if I can afford it.

Weight-wise I have been doing well.  Some fluctuations, but I am on a downward trend.  I am only 6 pounds away from my 10% weight loss goal and I know I will hit it soon, I hope by the end of January!

I hope your 2011 is off to a great start!  Mine seems to be so far!
