I don't know. Are YOU ready for school?

The YAY list:

- My classroom is set up.
- My coworkers are amazing.
- I don't have to ask permission from the department head to make copies on colored paper.
- I have windows.
- There is a SmartBoard in my classroom.

The HMM-I-WONDER-HOW-THIS-WILL-TURN-OUT list:

- I have 35 students (mostly freshmen) in my 6th period class.
- I don't have a computer yet.
- There are some wires hanging from the ceiling still (it's a new building).
- I daily battle a nauseating panic.
- I fake it and smile real big a lot.

What breed of lunatic

... have I joined that enjoys meetings at 7 a.m. during the summer? We only have a week and a half left, everyone! Love your sleepy mornings! Appreciate your cup of tea and murder mystery until 10 a.m.! Stay out until midnight or (GASP!) later!

Are there any other blogs out there I should know about?

Highlights:

Seeing friends and family packed into the room to support and love the couple (the outdoor ceremony was rained and fifty-five-degreed all the way inside the mansion).

An impromtu dance party in the bridal room before the wedding to calm nerves.

The official dance party, in which we the bridesmaids and bride danced a choreographed number for Jeff.

Not tripping. Not even once.

Post Vacation (or Vacation Post, depending)

After much relaxing in the Wild North Woods, blissful time with Mystery Man and Various Family, two days with my friend Harry Potter, a trip to the zoo, an excursion to see Wicked the musical, and some wild berry picking, I am back.

Getting ready for and having nightmares about the first day of school (September 5th).

Until that fateful day, I am also preparing for Natalie and Jeff's wedding on Sunday! Hurray! The bachelorette party takes place in part at our house and I get to do some serious cooking. Spinach Puffs here I come!
