The end of February/beginning of March has been crazy, crazy, crazy! School has brought with it an all-time high level of stress, as we prepare for the SOL tests and deal with sixth grade "senioritis". Oh, believe you me. It exists.
Things that bring me copious amounts of stress:
1. math eCARTs
2. broken phone
3. broken GPS
4. If the Girl Scouts are a Christian organization, then why do their cookies come during Lent? And why didn't I think through this whole giving-up-chocolate-for-Lent thing BEFORE I bought 3 boxes of cookies??
Things that do not:
1. girly time w/ Britt & Bri
2. executive suites & rooftop dancin'
3. my mom's Native American turquoise bracelet
4. puppy Penny snuggles
5. Aveda pampering
6. kids in my class sticking up for one another :)
7. book club
8. de-stress talks w/ PK :)
9. clever pieces of writing
10. wonderful co-workers
I just needed to see that the good outweighed the stinky.

Time for an Update...
Ok. Yet again, I've started another blog & haven't followed through w/ regular posting. Can I use work as an excuse? Please?
Nevertheless, it is a new year & maybe I should add "keeping blogs updated" to my list of resolutions.
Anyways, here are some updates:
1. I have now been living in the city for 5 months. I have been teaching for 4 months.
2. I'm a lot better at driving around DC and more comfortable with using the metro.
3. I don't have to use my GPS anymore to get to most places! haha
4. I have been able to give people tours of old town & I have some recommendations for food, shopping, etc.
5. My school won the 2012 governor's award! :)
6. I love my job and the people in my life right now.
7. Penny is doing well!
8. I'm a bit distracted right now, b/c I'm watching the movie Julie & Julia, and all of the food is looking really good.
9. I think I have some pasta in the pantry
10. I'll finish this blog later!
