Done, done, done! ...and a meme
In the past nine days, I've finished my last week of classes, attended final reviews, flown across the country, attended a wedding, finished grading, and closed the books on the semester. Whew! Too much going on. Haven't travelled home yet, so the excitement's not quite over, but things should be a lot more relaxed from here on out.
A tiny meme to keep up my weekly posting habit, courtesy ofsplix. Note that I'm staying in the playroom of an old high school friend's house about 3000 miles from home, which should spice things up a bit.
5 Things You’ll Find in My Bag: Swimsuit (overly optimistic; they haven't started cleaning the pool for the summer months yet), about sixty final essays from students (my bag weighs a ton), a mother's day card that need to be posted tomorrow if it has any chance of timeliness, a new book, and a light sweater (which hasn't been sufficient for the cool days in the Bay Area)
5 Things You’ll Find in My Room: An unused treadmill; NFL logo sheets; Star War plush toys, including a soft and squishy X-wing fighter; bunk beds; an unused big screen tv
5 of My Favorite Things [about California]: 99 Ranch Market, See's Candy, fake Spanish architecture, fresh and beautiful fruits and veggies, SUNSHINE!
5 Things I’m Currently Into: toy cars, board books, reading out loud (can you tell our friends have twin toddlers?), upscale strip malls, sitting around outside. ETA: Sandals! How could I forget about sandals?
5 Things On My To-Do List: Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax. And reply to last week's comments, posts, and e-mail.

Yay for finishing the semester and sitting around outside! We're going to have another spell of cold weather but it *will* pass and then I will enjoy the brief period before it becomes too buggy to relax outside.

Hope your cold weather passes quickly! But not too quickly. You have intensely hot summers, don't you? I always feel during these last few cool-ish days in May that I need to appreciate the chill before we hit three months of hot and humid weather. Especially for jogging, which suddenly becomes exponentially more difficult for every degree over 85F or so. M.
