Wir sind in Wien

We arrived safely, although delayed, on Friday morning. We've seen a lot so far and had some really great meals. Soon I'll be back to add pictures.

Tschüss

FRIENDly competition!

Ok, so you may have heard that I leave for Vienna in 8 days. The last time I traveled abroad I sent probably thirty postcards to friends. Folks, that gets expensive, especially right now. I wish I could be going with a group of you dear people but that's not how things work. Sooo I have decided to have a literal drawing for postcards!

I hear you getting excited already. Love it!

The rules:
1. You must be a friend (check)
2. I must have your CURRENT address
3. You must let me know you might want a Viennese postcard (important)
4. I will choose (depending on how many give me their names) a person per dayish. I may be busy here and there.

I plan on sending a hand picked postcard about everyday. Like I said, things may actually get busy.

Get to it kiddos! Enter to get a postcard. A small piece of beautiful Vienna!

This is true joy

What do you get when you mix enthusiastic elementary kids, a chubby Latino, and a New York PS? You get true joy (in the form of a Journey cover). Sing it children!

MacGyver!!

Mike loves this show. We have a couple of seasons on DVD but he recently found it in reruns on Slueth. Obviously that means we DVR them. Every once in a while we'll sit down to watch it. It's pretty hokey. The last episode had Mayim Bialik (Blossom!). We are currently watching an episode that involves Nazis, stolen art, a congressional race, and lots of poor acting. It's entitled: The Ten Percent Solution. There's a Canadian man playing a German. The fighting and violence is terrible. And there's always a Sam! What's with that? MacGyver entered with quite a mullet. This one trumps any other I've seen so far. Masked men everywhere! MacGyver goes down too quickly. So much terrible confusion. It's amazing. Ooh, the 10% solution was just uncovered. California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada will become the new Aryan nation. Ha! Their headquarters is a silver mine and OH! the police chief is a Nazi too. Didn't see that coming. This is too much. How's MacGyver gonna get out of this one...

Five seconds MacGruber...

Amazing he punctured a metal door with a rock and a swiss army knife. He embedded the tube that was gassing them, created a spark, and shazam they just blew a hole in a metal (and plywood) door! Go Macgyver, Go!

Thought we were dead! Ha. Think again! (This was all too easy)


All in a days work for MacGyver.


And p.s. Henry Winkler was a producer on the show. The Fonz?! Say it isn't so!

Countdown still rolling!

WIEN in 14 days!!!

summertime and the livin' is easy.

Oh yeah I went there with the cheesiness. Sorry!

Yesterday was the last day with the kids. It was a crazy day with two awards assemblies and warm weather. I'm relieved to be done with the year. Not sad, but actually glad even though it's been a good year. Last year I fell into a mini-depression after the school year ended. I was in a funk for a while but I think I'm going to be able to avoid that this year. I just feel caught up, I have a plan, an exciting vacation in the wings. So many wonderful things are lined up that I will hopefully make my five week summer great. Mmmm....summer!

Oooh beautiful crafty things

I have somehow once again come across a neato site that I enjoy immensly. I WILL be making the smock! Yay!

Mayfly

This is also the last day of the last full week of school. Hooray!

SUN BURNED...ooch

I was in Myrtle Beach this past weekend for a bachelorette weekend. We left on Friday and drove through some of the most tempestuous thunderstorms of the season. We all thought that the weather was going to stay cloudy and cold. Despite the weather we headed to the beach in the morning and I fell asleep for a while. Dumb. I woke up and was so confused because the sun was out, the clouds were gone, and I was a bit pink already. I can't describe how burnt I am because of my delightful nap. I can however tell you I'm peeling and peeling in an amazing way. I just removed a piece of skin that used to cover the right side of my stomach. Not even kidding! Grossest moment of my life thus far and I've seen some truly gross things. You're welcome!

WIENer days!

VIENNA IN 21 DAYS!!!!!!

Haircut

I didn't post a photo for the haircut I had two months ago. Well last night I have it refreshed so here's one now. I had Ramon cut it a little bit shorter. LOVE it! I'm hoping to keep it short for a while. You like?
