Because I’m trying really hard not to fall off the blogging train, I’m going to post something quick before the clock strikes midnight.
Today was a good day.
I had plans.
For an introverted teacher who spends ten months surrounded by lots and lots of people and two months shut away from the world, this is huge.
I got up early…for a summer day…and did my workout.
I started my second round of Hammer and Chisel last week. I really need to blog about round 1. I’ll get to that as soon as the Mr. takes my measurements.
Anyhoo, this morning, I added in an ab workout that’s not part of this program but one that I saw that Beachbody had tweeted out about.

Y’all…the first move. Oh my golly. It was brutal. The bug move was fun, and the last move…totally had me smiling, in an ab torture kind of way.
Then, I jumped in the shower and got ready to head out.
I was on my way to meet a new-to-my-school reading teacher. Along the way, I stopped at Fresh Market to hunt for brown rice syrup, an ingredient I need for a recipe I want to try. I didn’t find it, so I moseyed on over to Ulta and catered to my inner diva with the purchase of a few bottles of nail polish.
Ahem.
Then, I met my now-new friend, J, at one of my favorite places to eat.
I asked for a certain seat, and here was my view…
Go ahead and be jealous.
J is just adorable, and I quickly took a liking to her. We are going to have a lot of fun this year, and I know I’m going to learn a lot from her.
After we finished, I met her at our school and walked her around. She got to see her new classroom, which she ogled over, and I gave her the low-down on teacher attire (no uniform for us!) and other things. Then, we parted ways with her hugging me before she left! Total sweetheart. I can say this because I’m almost twice her age. 😛
I ran a few other errands, met up with Rooster’s girl, who came to the house to get some paperwork and then run more errands with me, and finished out my day with a bit of Food Network Star on the DVR and my current book, The Testing.
I am loving my lazy summer days. They make up for the harried pace I run the rest of the year.
