BRAG day 3

And final day (for Chris). Today Chris and Andy left Cornelia headed to my favorite city ever... Athens!!! Chris had a good ride and finished before he thought he would. In the meantime, Karen and I headed to Athens. We visited the bookstore and drove around Athens a bit before Sue and Chris arrived. Both arrived at the same time. Sue, Chris and I went to find lunch before Sue brought me home. We headed over to Zims and was so sad to discover... IT'S CLOSED!!! No more sorority or fraternity melts (which sounded so yummy). In wanting to keep in the Athensy theme... we headed downtown to The Grill. We walked around town just a little bit before Sue and I headed back home. Chris is staying tonight to enjoy downtown Athens tonight :) I had to come home because I have preplanning for summer school in the morning. Boo...

All in all... a good trip!

BRAG day 2

Today was day 2 of BRAG. We left Dawsonville this morning and headed to Cornelia. I got up this morning and took Chris and Andy back to Dahlonega (took about 20 minutes one way) so they could start their journey. They left Dahlonega headed for Mt. Airy (Habersham Central High School). After I got back, I took my time getting ready and packing up. Once we were packed, we headed to Cornelia to meet up with the boys. I am hoping to meet up with Kimberly today. I'm a little tired and am pondering a nap before I call her.

BRAG day 1

Today is the first day of BRAG (Bike Ride Across Georgia). We came to Hiawassee last night so that Chris and Andy wouldn't have to get up as early to start. Last night, we drove through Helen to get here and they had these fabulous hot air balloons. (we did get some pictures but I forgot my cord to upload pictures... So pictures to follow later). Today Chris and Andy are cycling from Hiawassee to Dahlonega.

In the meantime, I was able to sleep in, play on the computer and enjoy my morning. I'm not sure what the day entails for Karen and me, but we shall see. Hopefully I'll get some good pictures. I have to admit that I am looking forward to a Hardee's breakfast... YUM! More to come...

Summer is here!

and so is laziness! :)

My summer is off to a good start. Not a whole lot going on. I went shopping a few days last week and that's about all the excitement that I've had.

I am currently procrastinating going to the grocery store. I've been watching TLC all morning (Baby Story, Jon and Kate, Say Yes to the Dress and What Not to Wear) doesn't get much better than this! Anyway, just wanted to say HI and let ya'll know that I'm still around. Chris is going to be doing the Bike Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) starting Sunday morning. So maybe I'll have some fun stories to tell (I'm driving along with a friend).

Turtle Crawl

Turtley Crawl 2009

Here are the pictures from the Turtle Crawl on Jekyll Island. Chris had an awesome race with a personal best time (2:19)... which prior to this race his best time was 2:51 (or 2:49...). We headed down to St. Simons on Friday and stayed with my aunt and uncle. They were wonderful hosts and we had a great visit with them. My uncle has an 8 month old English Bulldog, whose name is Baxter (after Baxter street in Athens). Baxter is AWESOME! He's so super cute and just a great dog. You have to check out his trick...

School's Out For Summer!

Wednesday was the last day of school with kiddos. WOO HOO!!! Yesterday was spent moving all of my materials into the center of my classroom for cleaning over the summer. And today... well, let's just say that I am hanging out. I have to be here today AND next Tuesday (thanks to the lovely snow we had in March). Sigh...

I know I still need to post about the triathlon last weekend. I will hopefully do that this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I just haven't had time to upload my photos to the computer.

Not much going on...

Not much going on in my world. Counting down to the last day of school (5 with kids, 8 total work days). It's not so much that I don't want to be at school teaching... it's the fact that the kids are SO excited that they don't listen anymore... they're running around and acting like hooligans. Making our jobs difficult and tiring.

Don't have a tv commentary for you guys yet. (I know you love them). I'll have one again in about a week or so. We're behind on 24 and Desperate Housewives. I have watched Brothers and Sisters... but that's it for this week (so far). Oh and quite a few episodes from Season 1 of NCIS. Still loving it! (thanks Lonebutterfly!)

I'm looking forward to the upcoming weekend. We're heading to St. Simons for the weekend. Chris is doing the Turtle Crawl Triathlon on Jekyll on Saturday. We are going to be staying with my Aunt at her house on St. Simons. ... SO EXCITED!!!
