I will be sad to see Spring Break go. On the flip side, I am pretty excited for the units I'm about to start with my students. I'm nerdy like that.
I had such a nice and productive Spring Break. I finally got my work pants and jeans hemmed and taken in- yes, that's right, they were falling off my booty and I've been using safety pins for a few months. My students were even starting to make comments. It was time to get all that altered and ready for the last quarter of the year :) I didn't think it through all too well though since I decided to go ahead and hem my new jeans at the same time. I've had no pants all week. And my capris and shorts had gotten too big after being taken in a few times, so I finally donated them. And I only had one seasonally and activity appropriate dress. I've been rocking my exercise pants all week. As comfy as they are, I miss real pants. I look forward to getting those back soon.
I will be fine for work tomorrow, never fear. I just got a nice new skirt and a really cute dress. The dress is for more social events I have coming up though.
I did plenty of touristy activities this week. I went to the Dixon, the Botanic Gardens, the Brooks, the Pink Palace, and the Zoo :) I took a ton of photos, act surprised. The flowers are just starting to bloom at the Dixon and the Botanic Gardens and they're so pretty. I look forward to going back in a few weeks to see what else is blooming. I just love Spring! The Brooks and the Pink Palace were fun as always, definitely some good exhibits at each. I may try to take one of my classes to the Brooks since they have a visiting exhibit on The Odyessy and we'll be reading that in a few weeks. The Zoo was pretty fun too. My mom and spent a few hours walking around seeing all the animals. We also went the Stingray Bay and pet the stingrays! It was so much fun; they're so soft! Some were really friendly and one kept splashing people. Fair warning, if you go, bring an extra shirt. We got soaked and ended up getting shirts at the gift shop.

Finally, I have been able to spend time with most of my friends this week (well, the ones who were in town). I went out to dinners, lunches, drinks, and a few movies. And that would be why, despite my daily walks and walks around all the sites, I only maintained this week. I ate too much tasty crap.
I'm back on track though. I have planned my meals for the week- including snacks since I noticed that's been an issue the last few weeks for me. I am trying a new crock pot recipe and will let y'all know how it turns out. It's Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken. I love buffalo chicken and this is a WW recipe for it. I'm going to put in on a salad instead of a sandwich though since I've been doing that when I get it at Lenny's the past few months. It smells really good, but it won't be done until a little after 8pm.
That's all for now. I'm going to enjoy the last bit of my break :)
