PS! I hit the gym again last night, it feels great to be working out again!

outta shape!

Well Spring is here and I need to get in shape. Since going back to school, I have totally fallen off the fitness bandwagon. I hit the gym today for the first time in a LONNNGGG time, and it was rough and semi-disturbing. I can't believe how out of shape I've become. I am going to force myself to get to the gym at least 3 times a week for this first month, thinking I will ease myself back into things. I have some motivation to keep me going, a family wedding in Jamaica this June & the Nantucket Firecracker 5k on July 4th.

Does anyone have any awesome workout plans they love?!

I am all ears!

Black & Decker 12V For The Car!

So when my parents bought me my new Prius this past May, I became slightly obsessive about keeping it clean, nothing worse than a messy car, especially a new one! Since I live in an apartment and keep my car in a garage, I can only vacuum it if I go to a car wash, kind of annoying. Well not anymore -- The Black and Decker 12V plugs into your car's power outlet with a 16-foot cord which helps me reach every corner in my Prius.

Genius, I love it!

It folds up nicely as well with makes for easy stashing in my trunk!

I always love to wear accent pieces in green to be festive.

J'Adore Paris!

I can't believe another week has come and gone, this year is just flying by and I am off to Paris in just a few days! We leave on Wednesday night and I cannot wait. I have a whole list of things to do while I am there, I hope I will be able to squeeze everything in! We are staying at an adorable hotel, it's on the Rue des Saints Peres, right off St. Germain. I would love to hear from any of you who have some "must see" places that I should add to our list! To top it all off, I walked in the door and the boyf had a early birthday present waiting for me -- a netbook! I was so excited, I have a MacBook which I love but I hate traveling out of the country with it.

My new netbook will be the perfect traveling companion!

Thought of the Day...

My second observation was completed today.

Great reviews from both my teacher and advisor!

I feel like I am getting just a little bit better at teaching everyday!

It's a wonderful feeling.

Happy Birthday MMB!

Happy Birthday to the Boyf!

I Love You!
