Have I mentioned how much I hate humidity?

Sometimes I wonder how the heck I ended up in a state where humidity comes by the boatload. It hit today, and it's killing me slowly. Boooooo humidity and its energy-sapping powers.

Did Anyone Else See This?

Tim and I were watching portions of "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" Tuesday night, and I'm thoroughly perplexed. There were more noises and colors than I have ever seen before - I felt like I was developing ADHD just by looking at the screen. And the challenges - how weird can things get? I bet the Japanese look at our reality TV shows and probably judge us in much the same way.

I am done grad class - after hours of studying for that stupid final, it had a few off-the-wall questions on it. At least I am done, and hopefully I earn an A in the class. So today's big plans include spin class in about a half hour, a hair appointment, and a whole lot of reading for fun. Yay for a few days of kicking back WITHOUT studying to do. . .

One more class. . .

I have one more night of my summer course, and I cannot wait to be done. This class has been a giant headache, with a professor whose directions and expectations have been murky at best. Last night, she held us an extra fifteen minutes to listen to her lecture because she took too long handing back papers on the front end of class. Needless to say, there are a lot of cranky adults who are very exhausted.

I'm spending this afternoon and most of tomorrow reviewing for the final. I have no idea what to expect and little motivation to do any more work. I'm just going to keep hanging in there for about twenty four hours, and then it's party time.

Am I really in Maryland?

I hate to say this because I will probably jinx it, but here we are rounding the last lap of June, and there is no humidity in the air. I spent a gorgeous afternoon at the pool yesterday, and this morning I spent an hour on my deck reading. Usually by this time in the summer, the humidity has me hiding indoors. I hope this keeps up.

Let My Summer Begin

After four days in workshops, it's my first official free day of the summer. Nothing beats that first summer morning of sleeping in. . .big plans for the afternoon include poolside studying for grad class.

Jon Lester is my newest hero.

What an amazing game last night. There is nothing like watching a good guy who has overcome do something amazing. Congrats, Jon!

Speaking of amazing, if you have not watched the "House" season finale yet, you NEED to. I would elaborate, but I know there are those like me who had to DVR it. (We lost at trivia, by the way.) I haven't felt that much emotion in a television show for quite a long time.

I guess it was a night for high emotions, huh?

Spin class = euphoria. . .

. . .at least after you get over the initial shock. I took my first spin class Saturday, and I am completely hooked. Bring on the spin! If all goes well, I will head back for another shot tomorrow night.

I read a review of the new Indiana Jones today and it was very favorable. My radio guys have been panning the movie, so it gave me renewed hope that this next big movie I am looking forward to will live up to my expectations. Who doesn't love Indiana Jones anyway?!?!? I'll get a little Indy preview at trivia tonight - first game grab bag is devoted entirely to my favorite professor. We won last Monday, and the plan is to pull a repeat.
