cinco...

wow! How did it get to be May so quickly? Sometimes I wish the spring wasn't so springy- don't you? While I am aware that I am the worst blogger in the history of blogs- I will defend myself by saying that not much of note has been happening around these parts, so I'm trying to save you the boredom of reading about nothing. Although Sinefield was about nothing and that seemed to do pretty well.... Regardless, it is the Cinco of Mayo and I have no plans to eat Mexican food tonight- more probably it will be pizza because it is raining, cold, and generally quite yucky outside and no food says warm and comfy better than a pizza.

On the school front, Wednesday will be my last day in the high school as a student teacher. I have mixed emotions about that- happy to have some time to concentrat on my own school work before I have to present my portfolio but sad to leave most of the students (no, not all of them.) I'm amazed at how quickly I became attached to these crazy kiddos- especially my little freshman class. I know I will be back at the school to check on them before they are out for the summer, but not being there all the time will be weird after these past few months. The job for next year question is still that- a question, but will hopefully be answered soon. Could happen this week or not until the summer. I do know after this whole thing that I'm going to like being a teacher- kids are pretty fun to be around and they keep me on my toes- which I need.

In other news, Winston and I have been discussing the possibility of getting another puppy in our family. Winston is quite wary of this and it will take some convincing, but he might be willing to share his house with a big dog that is not allowed on the furniture and especially his bed. This will be an ongoing conversation so don't expect any additions in the near future.

No other news to report- I told you I was boring. I'm ready for summer and a little excitement in my life- maybe I'll find a new hobby! I'm off to do a little bit of work before the Derby this evening. Riding high on my first ever victory in the derby picks last year, I took two horses for today- Nobiz like Shobiz and Any Given Saturday. I'm sticking to my gameplan of picking based solely on name and colors of the silks! I have fifty big ones (cents that is) riding on my picks so wish me luck!
