From the Outside Looking In…

It is a rainy Sunday here in the DC area, a rainy weekend to be exact. I am ok with that, I like the rain – and since it is basically keeping me indoors for much of the day I am taking this opportunity to move some furniture around the house and repurpose some [...]

As I type this entry this afternoon, I am loading my extensive collection of Gregorian Chant onto my computer, and then my iPod.  I have recently gotten back to listening to my chant, especially in the evening after coming home from work.  Chant was very important to me when I was in religious life as [...]

Yay!  Three days of fun, right?  Memorial Day weekend is here, beaches are open, and today begins the official “pool season” for most public pools.  The temperatures are rising and the skies are clear.  I am excited about the things we have planned for this weekend!
Today we are going to do some shopping, and we [...]

Is this what it feels like to blog?  It has been a while since I last blogged because life has been so busy lately at home and at work that I have often gone right to bed after arriving home from work.  Well, that is only after I get a few moments of television watching [...]

Yes, it has officially begun for me! I am so excited about all of the things I have planned to do and places I plan to go during the next ten days.  The break began a bit late for me since I had an unplanned meeting at the end of the school day which lasted [...]

So, now that I am back from Orlando, I spent the rest of the school week trying to make up for my absence.  Visiting classrooms, completing student recommendation forms for their high schools of choice, interviewing for the openings I forsee for next school year, and compiling data for two days of meetings outside of [...]

The photo above was my driveway last week at this time.  Today was just a bit different, no snow and plenty of warm sun.
Today was a great day.  I am really beginning to enjoy getting out of work while the daylight still has some life to it!  Tonight I was able to get home in [...]

The weather was simply gawgeous! What more can I say?  With temperatures in the mid to high 70’s there were so many things we could have done, but here is what we ended up doing.  Friday after work, we met up in the Columbia Heights section of DC and spent some time walking around and [...]

This afternoon, after my return to the gym to test out how my knee has been healing, LC and I drove over to an Indian restaurant in Bethesda named Haandi to meet HAM and RAM for lunch.  We all just happened to arrive on time (a first!!) and it turns out HC, the H part [...]
