Things have been pretty slow and quiet around here, which I guess is good. I had a good week visiting with my family, and I got to meet my new niece. She's the best baby ever, but MAYBE I'm a little biased.

I also had a birthday last month, which always has it's ups and downs. I like having my own special day for cards...

I am leaving tomorrow to visit my sister, her husband, and my new niece. I am very excited because everyone else in the family has seen her in person, except me. I'm going to help out my sister, who had a C-section and still can't drive or lift much of anything, other than the baby.

Not much else is going on. My student did SO...

Things are very quiet today. It is colder and cloudier than it has been in a while, and all I really want to do is take a nap. But I also desperately need to organize my desk. Hmm...what's a procrastinator to do?

Spain is a wonderful, beautiful, and memorable country. Spring break was great. madman31 has some pictures posted in his journal. I am not yet that internet savvy, but I will try to get some pictures up soon.

I really checked and doubled checked everything. I didn't want some kid who was expecting a B...

Sorry I haven't been around. I've been in bed with the flu. I got up yesterday to teach class and it was terrible. I spent the rest of the day in bed. I hope everyone else is well.

Raw fish + ice cream + liquor store + grocery store + mango margaritas + constant text messages + making fun of Bode Miller + Bagdad Betty + pancakes = Game night at Southernbelle's house.

Now it's back to work. Only two more weeks until spring break!!!

Well, that settles it. I'm not going hunting with the Vice-President anytime soon.

Ok, life is much better now that "you know who" and her song "you know what" have finally left my head. I'm afraid to even talk about it - it might come back and haunt me in my sleep! Thanks to everyone who told me their own stories of songs that get stuck in their heads. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has...

Can't get
that new Beyonce song
out of my head.

Argh!

Well, from what I can tell, Veronica Mars should be on the schedule for next year. I just got all huffy when the network merger was announced, because I'm still mad at the WB for cancelling "Angel". It just seems like all my favorite shows either get cancelled or relegated to some new time slot in the Twilight Zone.

My class is going well, although...

If the WB/UPN/CW network cancels "Veronica Mars" after the merger, I'm going to get VEERRRY angry.
