This Time Last Week...This Time Next Week

This time last week I was driving through Dayton headed to PIB. Sigh...wish I was there!

This time next week I'll be blogging about it being my LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! Sigh...wish I was there!!!

However, all that said, you can't go back! You've got to look forward. Although, I don't want the summer to go too quickly so I'll enjoy this moment while I'm in it!

I know people say the end of the year - in the last week or two - goes so slowly but this week FLEW by. I can't believe it's Friday! And I'm done teaching for the year. I taught my last lesson in LA yesterday reading the Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. It was a stellar performance on my part by the way. I don't know if the kids enjoyed it but I reminded myself of my favorite former teacher, Mrs. Pfetzing. She was one of a kind and someone who taught me how to love literature. Aside from my mother, she is the other person who made me want to teach. I think of her often when I teach classics (Shakespeare, Monkey's Paw, Poe, etc.) Hope she's up in heaven reading this as I type (she died way too young).

Anyway...school's almost DONE (stick a fork in her). WOOT!

In regard to Cassius - I believe he'll only be present next week on Monday (a normal day) and Wednesday - to take his two exams. This is what I proposed to Santa to tell the dad. Hopefully it will pan out because I'm so over Cassius and his crazy ways.

Mowed the lawn yesterday and finished spreading the last of the mulch. The yard looks so good! (Except the side yard but that's a Jim project and will have to wait for the reno to be complete.)

This weekend is going to be FUN! Tomorrow I'll get up early and head to Party Source. We need to replenish: Our kegs (both are blown), bloody Mary mix and champagne! Oh, and I need to get some Fireball! Need to be well prepared for Cari's party Saturday. Oh, the pic is the basket I put together for her birthday. Cute, huh?

Here's a funny. So I let Cari and her husband use my Prime account on Amazon. They used it on Sunday. Monday, I ordered all of Cari's stuff for her basket. I was mowing the lawn yesterday (in the back) and saw that the UPS truck was coming by. So I finished up the lawn and went to the front porch to get the package I was hoping had been delivered. It wasn't there. So I went out and asked Jim - who was weeding in the front yard - if they had delivered. He said yes, but Cari met the guy as he was coming to drop them at the door and said it was for her. So I think - well, hmm...I hope that wasn't the package for her she took. It was. She came over with it and said, "I opened this but it was some sort of glove so it isn't mine. Sorry!!!" I said, "Yeah, that's mine...well, yours...part of your birthday gift you stupe!" Hilarious.

Okay well, I'm out. Happy Friday! Later!
