Two Weeks Notice

I was very glad to turn the calendar page this morning and realize my vacation is only TWO WEEKS AWAY! I've always been one for exciting vacations where tons of plans must be made. You know me, the PLANNER extrodinare! But this one is totally about hanging out in the pool at my sister's house drinking WAY too many Mojitos (which she claims I MUST try) and getting too much Arizona sun.

Why?

Well, in March, I took on a new job here in the English department coordinating internships for students. It's a great addition to combating the boring editing I've done for the past eight years.But, work totally kicks my ass now to stay on top of everything.In one way, my job now feeds my addiction of list making. (List makers of the world, UNITE!) I have lists upon lists now. Lists about lists! And I'm now one of those horrible people who can't commit to anything unless she has her calendar with her. I might actually have to break down and get an ELECTRONIC ORGANIZER! (Say it ain't so, Joe!) Yes. There I'll be with my little stylus pen acting oh-so important scheduling in client appointments with my daughters softball games! Yea. My shit don't stink baby...that's how important I'll be!

Riiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhtttt.

But soon, I'm promised it will slow down.

It's finals week right now. Everyone is walking the halls in a haze of too much caffeine and not enough sleep. Professors and students alike! But after Saturday and graduation, life will hopefully calm down at work.At home? That's a different story. May is the time for end of school year field trips and the ever-important Track and Field day...but that's another post. Suffice it to say, May 24 cannot come soon enough--and then we'll all count the day til July and my MONTH OFF!!!!
