Study Break

{this wonderful photo is by eye2eye on flickr}

Almost finished with this school year.  I just need to buckle down and focus and then it will all be done.  I need to write a paper.  Which isn't so bad, I just hate researching.

Any horror stories of school you wanna share?  I would like the light hearted distraction!

Cheers!

Happy Weekend: Summer Is On Its Way

{This is by lovemyashby on flickr}

My summer vacation starts soon which means it's time to start deciding what is really going to happen this summer. Of course, there are always those things I do every summer such as my mother's family reunion. One weekend in July {usually about a week after my brithday}, all 100 or so of my mom's side of the family gathers to a cabin on a lake in Alabama. We laugh, cook, eat, play cards, go swimming in the lake, and all and all build lasting relationships with one another. It is really special, as I get older, to see how the older generations {or the older of my generation because my mom's mom was the youngest, our clan is much younger than the rest of the generation} are starting to treat me like a participating member of society. Also, now that I am older, I know it is important to reach out to the generation two years older because they have plenty of stories to share. All you have to do it just ask.


What is your favorite summer memories that you look forward to each summer? I would really like to know!



also, Naomi over at Rockstar Diaries was kind enough to include me in her happiness series!

Cheers!

And... We're Back!

For about thirty minutes the blog and alot of my settings pages were completely conked out.  It was really scary.  In case you came here during that thirty minutes or so, it wasn't your computer.  I don't know what the problem was but I did a quick search on the error and some angel told me how to fix it.  So I did.
Sorry for any inconvience.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Funny because it's raining right now.

I thought a dogwood would go nicely because "The American President" was on last night {I love that movie} because he tries to get her a dogwood flowers because it is the Virginia state flower.

Maryland's is the blackeyed susan.  All of our official state symbols are color corridinated.  That's why Maryland is far superior to anyother state {I kid}.

And Florida's is the orange blossom.  Which makes sense.  Everything is orange this orange that in Florida.


What's your state flower?


Cheers!
