This morning, my dad and I woke up early and took a walk on Marginal Way, a paved path that hugs the cove/shoreline in Ogunquit. We saw the sun after it had just risen and climbed down the rocks to look at snails in little tide pools. We returned to the hotel, showered, then had an amazing breakfast at Amore Restaurant. (YUM.)

Today was a lot cooler ( Read more... )

I am here in NJ. I got in around 12:30 to visit my mom and my aunt for their birthdays. Also, there was an extra surprise, because my cousin TJ also came! He came on his own and did not tell anyone (except for me) that he was coming! My mom and aunt were VERY surprised when he came around the back door!!!

On the bus ride to NJ, I finished reading ( Read more... )

I have been having this HUGE URGE to get cowboy boots. I think it may have stemed from recently seeing Aly's cowboy boots, trying them on, and LOVING THEM.

I've seen the cowboy boot showing up in shoe stores all over and I am pretty ( Read more... )

So, I have spent the past week here in New Jersey, visiting my folks and Doris. :) It's February break for the schoolchildren, so I didn't have any student teaching this week.

I am celebrating my birthday for an extended period of time, once more! On Friday, I went to NJ to celebrate with my folks. My mom made me flounder and spinach and my dad contributed French onion soup and home fried potatoes! Yummm! Flounder fillets were my pick (I get to choose every year.) My mom also made my Favorite Cake of All Time, Red Velvet ( Read more... )

I love getting a new outfit to wear to all of my holiday/seasonal events each year, and for 2 or maybe three years in a row I've always gotten red outfits. However, this year I am going for something different: jewel-tones and "peacock" colors. What I was hoping for initially was emerald green, but I guess that is not a trendy color of the moment.
