big plans

So I tried the Not Counting the Days thing and attempted to find joy in all of the in-between moments of life before school is out. But I have failed, because I'm about ready to start counting the hours plus I'm planning the myriad of things I will do as soon as my teacher responsibilities are completed for the year.

For example:

• Taking a long, luxurious bath in the new tub while listening to Water for Elephants (so I'm actually prepared to rejoin my book group in July)
• Dinner at Marrakesh with marriage group friends
• Watching The Happening & The Incredible Hulk
• Beginning my couch potato adventure in TV series viewing
• Preparing little presents for BlogHer friends
• Packing for BlogHer
• Packing for Europe

And that's just the itinerary for June 13.

Then I'm writing a letter to these guys, to make sure they bring Donnie's little brother when they swing through Portland.
