BAD BLOGGER! BAD!
By beth | July 8, 2008
I just hit myself on the nose with a newspaper because I am officially the worst blogger in history. Well, maybe not in history, but in the last week at least. Sorry about that, friends. And I SO don’t have time to be doing it right now, but I wanted you to know that I am still alive and kicking. Although the one person who really cares about whether I blog or not is on a cruise in the Mediterranean right now, so it’s not like it really matters. But still. Here is a rundown of why I have not been with you of late.
- I’m moving this coming weekend, so there’s a lot of packing going on.
- Future Roommates and I were at the new house all last weekend painting. And painting. And painting.
- I don’t have internet at home (I am currently at the ‘bou).
- My social life is going really well.
- Lesson plans eat time. They just eat it. And you don’t ever get it back.
That’s about it. It was rather an eventful weekend apart from the painting. I went to see Hairspray on a big (though not big enough in my opinion) outdoor screen on Thursday. Then I went to a 4th of July cookout at Jeff’s on Friday, and Nick and Emily (of Emily and Nick) were in town, so I invited them, which was SO great because I hadn’t seen them in MONTHS, and well…they’re my people.
So then we all went to watch fireworks, but as soon as we got there, Armageddon was upon us. You know, the sky turned black, and the moon turned to blood, so we packed up to head back to Jeff’s before the bottom dropped out, but before we got there, a friend who was a part of our caravan had a motorcycle accident, so we spent some time in the emergency room before going back to Jeff’s to watch Tommy Boy. And when that was over, everything was wet, so it was easier for the boys to convince the girls that setting off fireworks in the back yard wasn’t a terrible idea. So Emily and I stood on the porch, oooooo-ing and aaaaaaaaaaah-ing at the fireworks (which I must admit were actually pretty impressive…and didn’t set anything on fire).
Yada yada yada, suddenly it was Sunday, and then Monday, and now Tuesday, and I still don’t know what I’m teaching tonight, which is a bad, bad thing because it’s a class I have to be really prepared for in general and especially tonight because I think I’m being observed.
So…
Off I go a-plannering!! Valderi! Valdera! Valderi! Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

Ummm, I’m not in the Mediterranean (if I am I seriously don’t recommend it), but oh do I wish I was.

I care. and I am definitely not in the Mediterranean. Although, this time next month I will probably be cruising down the Danube. Not quite as glamorous, I fear… but very nice in its own way.
and *wink*? you shameless hussy!

Being in the port of Livorno, preparing to set sail to France, does not keep me from really caring! Even cruising in the Mediterranean, I still care.

Your mom is so anonymous. And it looks like lots of people care. I can’t wait for you to have time to write about what a CUH-RAAAAZY week it’s been/still is. But I know it might be August before you really get a chance to post it all. If we can just make it to Cancun, buddy!!
