3/3- So, take this wine and drink with me, let's delay our misery

Weight Loss for the Week: .5lbs

This week was much better in regards to planning ahead with food and exercise.  I should have exercised a bit more, but I got so busy, I just lost track of time most days.  My Chicken Paprikash was delicious to eat throughout the week :)  It made me miss my European vacation.

School was fine this week- finishing up units like a mad woman as we approach Spring Break.  We have unit tests, writing practice, performance assessments, and standardized testing this week to end out this quarter.  We will all make it and it will all be done by Friday at 3:30.  Which means that Friday at 3:35, I will be about ready to fall asleep for a few days.

I had a very fun and active weekend.  My mom and I went to Pinot's Palette Friday night and painted a cotton landscape.  It was a creative and relaxing way to start the weekend.  Saturday, we helped pack Memaw up some more- and I got to bring some things I am getting from her home- thanks, Memaw!!! Saturday night, I went with my mom and Kerry and her family to Condomonium to support Choices, a women's health organization.  It was so much fun! It featured dresses and accessories made of condoms.  So much creativity abounded.  And the food was from a lot of Midtown restaurants, so it was a tasty night too.  Today, Kerry and I had some nice brunch, I went with Mom and Memaw to pick out Memaw's new couch, and I have been lesson planning and grading like a fiend.  I'm done with everything that needs to be done. Now, I'm working on stuff that has to be done by Friday.

Ok, now onto new news.  My school is having its annual 5K fundraiser- Education That Works Out! I will be walking along with most of the faculty and students at the school. I am working to raise money for it.  The goal set by the school for all participants is $100, but I would like to raise more if possible.  If you would like donate, that would be fantastic!  I will provide the link below- make sure to say the person you know is Kaitlin Thackery- thanks!

If you are in the area and would like to join in on the festivities, you are of course welcome and encouraged to do so. It is April 7 and starts at 12:45.  It is $20.00 to register (that gets you a t-shirt, a food voucher, and lets you run/walk the race).  If you would like to join us, that would be awesome :) Again, make sure you put down that you know me- much appreciated.

Let me know if it doesn't work properly.

Now, back to grading.
