uhhhhhhh

well. I've been trying to conjure up some inspiration for writing but I've come up empty handed. Things around here have been...well, full. TJ said it well today, there is always something going on. As soon as you think you have a weekend with no plans someone comes into town or stops by or has a party. Not that any of these things are bad, quite the opposite in fact, they are all great but that doesn't keep them from tiring me out.

this weekend I've spent a near record amount of time on the couch. Torturous as it was, it was for the best. I'm fighting a cold and I really really really can't afford to lose. Huge week at work packed into 3 days and then off to my cousins' wedding. Being sick just doesn't fit into the plans very well. The fight is going well and with my Olympic spirit I'm anticipating victory in the next 24 hrs.

work is going great. I'm still very happy with my job. Right now I'm scheduling all of my fall travel. Essentially I call high schools and plan a visit. As some of you may know I hate this kind of thing but all is well because it enables me to do other things that I really love. I begin my travels on september 7th and pretty much travel non-stop until november 7th. I'm excited and a bit nervous as to how I'll hold up with a crazy travel schedule (travel this year is split between 3 of us instead of 5 like previous years).

I'll try to keep this baby up to date as I travel. keep in touch.
