Sunday Summary

• Teachers report for pre-planning Thursday. You read that right: Thursday.
• Students report for the first day of school the following Thursday. You read that right, too.
• Only saving grace: Fall Break near the end of September. The way I figure it, I can do anything for 9 weeks.
• Cancun was FABULOUS!!!! All inclusive is the only way to go. The people at the resort were concerned with my happiness and well-being and whether or not I needed another drink. (I did.)
• Two weeks from today, Prep will be waking up in her own dorm room in Auburn. I get a little more devestated every day - and am proud of her independence at the same time.
• Two weeks from today, BrownBear will be waking up as the only child in the domicile. She is more worried about that than just about anything else.
• Primary elections last week kicked some serious behind. Can't wait until November - our district's school board rep is in for a rude awakening.
• Back to the choir loft this morning.

Stop Me Before I Sin Again

Dudes. I don't have to pick up the girls until 12:30. I just realized that "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is on AMC. The car attendants have just taken off in Cameron's Dad's car. I should be in the shower - let's face it, I should already be out of the shower - and heading toward the choir loft. And next Sunday, when Prep and BrownBear are out of town, I am seriously thinking of heading to another house of worship to celebrate Palm Sunday. One where, you know, they give you palms. That's not my reason, though. My choir, the one that did Brahms so impressively a few weeks ago, is scheduled to do a spiritual on Palm Sunday. "Ride On, King Jesus." I can't type it without laughing, so you should see how I sing it.

So, I guess the party is over. And what a party it was. I hit the gym yesterday, the Chinese massage guy in the mall, got my hair cut, manicure, pedicure, movie and dinner. I saw "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" and it was charming; I was the youngest person at the matinee, but I still had to pay $10 to see the show.

But, wait. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Happy Sick Day, Birthday Girl!!!
