Okay .. let's see how we can do in March!
Taught History for one week, science for this week (they have the wrong Rine sibling in the classroom this week - but good luck kids!!!). I like knowing what I'm doing and who's coming to class everyday. I have choir and band in my rotation for the next few weeks as well.
What a great Olympics. Good to see the US and Canada win, although I would have liked to have seen 3 more US Golds ... men's hockey, women's hockey, speed skating. Oh well. Nordic Combined medals for the US, plus Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn winning. I could go on ...
Topic on the sports talk shows ... hey guys, how about those Canadian women hockey players??? Those are the PERFECT girlfriends ... they drink beer, smoke cigars, and play a contact sport!!! whoo hooooo!!!
Went for a photo shoot Sunday morning with the new telephoto lens. The thrill was watching hawks fly and hearing them screech in the beautiful 60 degree sunshine. The sadness was seeing two raccoons on the shoulder of the road ... mates both hit by a vehicle.
Racing came back this month. Jimmie Johnson has won two races and Kevin Harvick leads in points. Two new babies (Sadler and Edwards) and three more on the way (Johnson's first, Gordon's second and Montoya's third bambino ... all due around June). Hoping to get to Forth Worth in April.
March 14 - Formula One and IRL season starts ... but it's still 90 days to the Indy 500 ... but only 58 until time trials start.
Lynn Wiles was born Feb 29 and celebrates his birthday on March 1 in non-Leap years ... Happy birthday. My special birthdays in March, besides my parents, include Kathy, Neal, Rich and Lloyd.
Carolyn's friend Dave comes to visit on Saturday for a few days. Hope it's not too much of a culture shock coming from Farmington Hills to the cotton fields! Carolyn heads off again for a Spring Break trip.
Tuesday, March 2 ... Texas Independence Day and Sam Houston's Birthday. I can hear Ron Stone's voice giving us Texas facts and Ray Miller taking us on a tour of Washington-on-the Brazos. I miss both of them.
Tuesday, March 2 ... Primary Election Day. Go vote or don't gripe. Plenty of choices on BOTH sides.
The Dynamo have a free event this coming Sunday (3/7) ... a practice game (pre season friendly they call them) versus the Austin Aztec. I'll be there doing brunch on the grill for tail gating. Come join me Sunday morning??? First touch is at 1:00pm so tailgating starts MUCH earlier and we'll reconvene after the game and autographs. Keep in touch via FB, twitter, phone, text, email ... however it is YOU communicate with me.
Weighed this morning ... down a half pound for the week, m'dear (and you know WHO you are m'dear!). That means I've lost 7 pounds since we began keeping score and 33 over all! Pressure's on, babe! But in the end, we are BOTH winners! I haven't eaten all that well but continue with portion control so that's helping.
A friend at another school is doing a Biggest Loser challenge. Winner there gets $1,000 and two others get $500 each based on pounds and percentage. Dang. All I'm getting are new clothes!!! Seriously - I have bought three new pairs of pants and am wearing blue jeans that I haven't worn since 2004-05.
Bad news is I've added another medicine to my diabetes control. That's number three as blood sugar got waaaaaay out of whack in the Fall. The diet and exercise are helping ... but the meds will help more. Doctor was very proud of the weight loss but I have to go back this month for another check-up.
The bell rings and the day ... and month ... begin!
Let's be careful out there!!!!
Hugggz to the ladies ... ^5's to the guys!
Thanks for reading March post #1.
