1. I just spent 3 days down the Cape with my mother, grandmother and aunt. My mother looked at real estate (a favorite pastime) and we wandered through Falmouth, Chatham and other towns.
2. I came up with a photography project for myself--the steeples of Cape Cod. If you know any churches with cool/different steeples on the Cape, send them my way. I saw a few cool ones this weekend...I think it'll be a spring/summer project.
3. I had a non-date tonight. Though, I'd eventually like it to be a date-date with this guy. We aren't sure this will happen. He needed to get back to St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas tonight. Greta Jane knows this boy.
4. The next four weekends are going to be nutty. Next weekend, I go home to celebrate my 10th h.s. reunion and my dad's birthday. The following weekend, I'm taking a 4-day trip to D.C. to visit mostly with my best friend down there--we're supposed to see N&K, but now we might not. The first weekend in May is my bro's graduation in Ohio. The weekend after that, I am now spending 5 days in Miami (YAY!) to see my cousin graduate. My darling cousin Larissa will be in from London with her 2 year old and her 4 year old. Yippee!
5. We hired a new writer. I will soon have only one full time job and not 2...although we're adding to my job to change the title.
6. Netflix sent me 2 of the same disc instead of 2 different discs. I didn't realize this 3 days ago when I got the disc...I realized it today AFTER the mail had been picked up. So sad.
7. I'm ready for spring. It has not arrived in MA. They're still talking snow and Nor'easter conditions this week.
8. My favorite blanket in the world is a Holy Cross blanket made of a sweatshirt material. It is toasty warm and so soft--one of my favorite purchases of all time.
9. I miss teaching. I miss it more than I let myself admit. I miss being driven crazy on a daily basis and I miss the laughing--and the crying. I do NOT miss the planning and the grading--but distance makes me think that it wasn't all *that* bad.
10. A new favorite quote...to add to the ever-growing list:
"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." --Leonardo da Vinci
Kinda ironic given #9, eh?
11. Top travel destinations for my future include the 3 A's: Africa, Alaska and Australia, in no particular order. A trip back to Ireland to see my fam and ride some horses wouldn't be so bad either.
12. When I get my tax return, I should do the responsible thing and invest it. But there are fun things I'd rather do with it. I hate being an adult sometimes.
13. I haven't found a great church in this area yet. Therefore, I'm not going to church every week. I really should look harder in the coming months.
14. I still intend to participate in a triathlon this year...probably in late August. Therefore, I need to get my rear in gear! So that I can swim 3/4 of a mile, bike 30 miles and run a 10K--back to back to back.
15. I've been to 30 states (I think)...I'll possibly hit Texas in December, bringing the total to 31.
16. After this week, I will not work another full, 5-day week until May 21.

kris, sometimes i think your destiny is teaching in one form or another--maybe even on a larger scale than you imagine.
as for your tax return--here is my formula: invest half, enjoy half.

K -- it was so good to read this and hear your voice in my head. :) I love how you do so much with your family -- and very interesting about 9 and 10 ... :) You will love Alaska. #10 applies to me and AK -- I can't look at the sky the same after watching the sun rise in one horizon in AK and the northern lights in the other horizon ... sigh.
