OK, I made it to spring break. SIGH. It snowed–thank you–it was beautiful and magical. I caught David’s cold–BLECH! My nose is running AND sweating. Lovely.
Oh, well. Much other stuff to think of:
Right now, I’m counting down to The Beach. The H’s and the Smith-Gann-Smiths are going to visit Myrtle Beach this summer. I am so happy that we finally pinned down the particulars and have made our reservations. We did this a few years ago–went during spring break to Gulf Shores–and we had a blast. Now that all the girls are older –I mean, M wasn’t even BORN last time 
— I really think it will be great. I’m scoping out a new bathing suit and a big fluffy towel for David.
Later in the summer D and M from New Zealand are going to visit. I’m pretty excited about that too. It’s been ages since we’ve seen each other. M is thinking of coming to stay with us in a year or so and do her senior year of high school in the States. She’s both an American and a New Zealander–having her Kiwi parents and being born in Athens, GA!
Speaking of, I’m at the teaching fellowship in Athens today through Friday. I kind of hate to spend my spring break doing work-related stuff, but I also did not want to miss any of the symposia. I think I really need something to boost my teaching powers since only one student passed the midterm I gave in Menswear. 
Off to read now…we are discussing the book SCHOLARSHIP RECONSIDERED at dinner tonight, and I’ve not finished it yet…a bad teacher and a bad student, I guess.
