As Randy put it, "Holy hell that's Margie on Rosie's website!!". This was posted on Rosie O'Donnell's website today. :-)

Inviting myself and Irishing it up!

I did not receive Deb's initial email, so I have invited myself to contribute to this fine forum.  

First, let's not get ahead of ourselves.  Jury duty was my civil obligation and a pain at the same time.  I hate sitting around all day doing nothing, yet it ended up being two days of sitting around before finally finding out I was not lucky enough to be picked to return for a third day.  

As for me, post-school I have been l-a-z-y.  I started a new book, which means the 'To Finish' list has now also grown by 1.  Looking forward to spring break with Kelli and our kids and getting conferences behind me for another year.

Thank  you all again for an enjoyable graduation ceremony!!!  See you soon!

Off I go....

Hey everyone. I just finished paying for a trip to....Boston! We are going to go back for graduation. I am so excited. We'll leave on Friday and return on Monday. The only catch is that I leave for outdoor school on Tuesday. It will be totally worth it though.

Hooray for Blogging!

Yea! I'm so glad that we have this blogging thing up and going. Thanks Deb for setting this up. I also agree with you DebE and Nanci....somehow life continues to be as busy as ever, but I'm not sure what takes up the time. I'm very excited to see everyone in April. Here's the only picture I

took at graduation.

Whew, I feel very LAZY to have an open weekend with no homework to worry about! 

Graduation was great, thanks to everyone who helped make it a hit! We had a good time. 

We had a family and friends open house celebration on Sunday. It was so nice to keep the celebrating going! Mom had the food catered and decorations/flowers and balloons brought in so we really didn't even lift a finger! We were able to share all of our pictures from the Eastmoreland event and brag about all of our wonderful grad friends!

Randy was selected for jury duty this week so he was able to "ease" back into the work week at school. It was kind of like coming home to a housewife as he cooked dinner every night, did the house work and was actually waiting for me to get home from work! 

I hope that everyone has an enjoyable spring break and VACATION from work. :-) Can't wait to see you all in April.

Kelli

Greetings

Hi everyone,
It seems so strange to be not worrying about Lesley work. I agree, DebE - why do I not feel less busy? I have managed to read my book club book way in advance so that's been a nice change, but other than that I don't know what's consumed my time.

I have been thrilled to see the pictures that you guys have sent along from last weekend. I was so bummed to get there only to realize that once again I forgot the video and still cameras. Story of my life.

Looking forward to seeing you guys here on April 12th. Don't have specifics yet, but will get on that shortly and send emails out. I'm thinking along the lines of a pot luckish thing - I'll let you know.

Hope you guys all have a very restful spring vacation. It'll be different won't it - not worrying about a project? I'm heading down (as we've done the last 9 years) to my folks' house in L.V. The boys have a blast just swimming, hanging out with Nana and Papa and eating out. Don and I enjoy the lessened responsibility of taking care of the kids that always comes when we are at my parents' house down south. They sort of take over so we're able to take long walks, have a date night on the strip, play family games, watch some baseball, and just relax.

See you all on the 12th I hope.

Love,
n
ps - I am feeling good about figuring out how to get onto this blog and "communicate".

A few graduation pictures....

Coming in..... Kazoo playing.....
My dad was just taking random pictures, I wish I had more of everyone!

Thanks for the nice picture Margie!

I Miss You All!!!!

What an amazing group of people to have had the pleasure of learning with for the past two years. You all are WONDERFUL and I MISS YOU ALL!!!!! Ok...enough of the sappy stuff! :-)

Hey, wasn't life suppose to slow down now that school is over?????? Scheez!!! My Winter group has their final tomorrow...and I was dumb enough to make it a big take home final...what was I thinking?????...now I have to correct them...good grief!!! And then....I could not understand why one of my students...who is an excellent student...was not getting an "A" in one of the classes...she had done all the work and such...hmmm...mystery...well I solved it...the formulas were messed up on both of my excel grades gizmos!!!!! AAAAHHHH!!!! My NEXT educational endeavor will be a crud load of computer classes....!!!!! If I EVER get this computer business I will be happy!!!

Working on some new puppets...I am also looking for books to adapt my puppets(or new ones) to. Any ideas...let me know. I am looking to work with some of you in the next school year...so if you have ideas as to how I can use puppetry in your classroom...let me know.

Ok..I will stop...hugs and loves to you all...

DebE :-)

Graduation

What an amazing afternoon/evening. I was so excited to see all you again and this time knowing there was no homework required, no syllabi to stress over, NO MORE OF ANYTHING - except fun times. Thanks for the great journey. You are an amazing bunch and I am honored to have learned with all of you.

Erin& CeCe - the party was a smashing success! THANK YOU!
