Be Fun

My husband pointed out to me that I read only the fun parts of The Wall Street Journal. My response was that I was a fun person.

Recipe to try - Cobb Salab

Saw this recipe in the Wall Street Journal and I knew I had the diced chicken left over from one we roasted on the grill earlier. It was great and the dressing is delicious. It makes a ton (not literally). I halved it and my husband had 2 helpings and some left over for lunch the next day. My husband likes blue cheese, but I put feta on mine. It made a great light meal.

It's happened again!

Each summer I sit down to restart my blog. Being a teacher, the school year just gets to me and the blog is low on my list. How can that be? I love to read blogs and I enjoy reading mine. I just did that and it made me smile. So I'm blogging for myself. Now I want to start another blog. What am I thinking? Well, after losing notes and thoughts to a bummed hard drive, it was nice to be able to pull up my web based efforts. But I'm not going to make any promises...

Lost Again!

I keep doing it. Maybe this is not the thing for me. I just can't seem to blog on a regular basis, even though I think I would like to be a blogger.

Summer is half way through and besides getting all of my doctor and dentist appointments out of the way, my main goal has been to read as much as possible. Right now I'm reading 4 books! Maybe I can get to the point where I want to review them. But doesn't every one do that?

When the cat's away the mice will play.

Being away from work for just one day is so much work!(at least for a teacher, or this teacher). First you have to prepare to be absent with lesson plans that make sense to someone who just walks in with no knowledge of your class or students. Then when you get back, you have to sift thru what happened while you were gone. And now I'm going to be out again tomorrow for a workshop...sigh.

Before I forget...

So I thought of something the other day related to the Happiness Project and me, and now, of course I have forgotten it. I remember thinking that it was something like my own personal commandment or my own Splendid Truth, but like so many great thoughts it has dissipated into thin air - poof! Maybe someday I will learn to write things down when I think of them. Or better yet maybe I will stumble into a cloud of all my great thoughts:).

It's been how long?!

OK, I'm going to blame not blogging on reading Pillars of the Earth. Good book, but it took forever. It always feels good to add a book to my finished list. And I always look forward to picking out the next book!
