Ten things rattling around in my brain:
1) There's an impending snowstorm heading our way. I'm sort of hoping that it starts early enough that we might have a snow day on Friday. It would be a great way to kick off vacation. Because vacation is taking too long getting here.
2) An annual fundraiser, a school group holds carnation sales for Valentine's Day. They promote white = secret admirer, pink = like, and red = love. It becomes quite a popularity contest to see who gets the most flowers, who gets which colors, and if they are excited to receive them. Blah. Kids don't know how to cope with these things and they live and die by them.
3) We're having a pep rally in a few minutes. I don't want to go. Maybe I won't. It's supposed to honor all the winter athletes and teams. I'm so over winter.
4) I'm in a bit of a reading slump. I think if I can listen to something fabulous it will snap me out of it. I haven't been listening to books in over a month. And I haven't eyeball read in over a week. I hate being in reading slumps.
5) I went to an open house at a new condo development and now I'm kind of obsessing about getting a condo. I'm not sure if I can afford it. But it's kind of fun to dream.
6) My Virginia sister turns 50 tomorrow. I sent her some flowers and an Alex & Ani bracelet. I hope she has a special day even though we can't be together to celebrate. I miss her.
7) My Pennsylvania sister and I have been texting a lot lately. It's fun on my iPhone.
8) Speaking of my iPhone, I need to investigate whether I have the most reasonable plan for my usage.
9) I'm trying to make arrangements for a guest speaker to come in and talk to my AP Psychology class about different aspects of mental illness--like classifying, or basic features of treatment, or mental illness and the law. I hope I can manage the time and can get someone interesting. I tried my former therapist first--she's not going to be in town or she would be delighted to come. Maybe one of her practice fellows can come instead.
10) All of my classes are doing student-centered projects and activities this week so I am not doing much direct instruction. It's a nice change. I hope they're getting something out of their activities. A lot of application of content.

Enjoy your dreams about the condo, there is nothing better in life than having a dream!
#2 fills me with dread. I can just imagine some girl getting no flowers, or a white flower from the wrong boy, and being crushed. I'm afraid a painful memory that will live for decades just might be made w/that fundraiser.
I love the whole idea of condo living. I wonder if I would miss my house at all. All of these home maintenance woes are getting me down. Happy you have a vacation coming up. Going anywhere?
I'm itching to buy a house. I love our apartment and I can't beat the rent but still, I want something of my own. Just going to be a bit hard with only one real income (though, we do have Hubby's VA benefits to help).
