Aqua

June 7, 2012

After a leisurely lunch this afternoon with colleagues, Brian and I headed to the pool. It was so nice to just relax!! I've been busy around the house and such and so I am cherishing the moments of laziness by the pool. 

Yellow Is A Color

June 6, 2012

It's the third day of summer school. I'm teaching a poetry class to kiddos grades 2-5. It's definitely different to have the older ones. They certainly don't think I'm as funny as the little ones do. ;-) It's okay though. We did color poems today. Some of these kids have some great talent.

Summer's Best Simple

June 5, 2012

This right here is one of summer's BEST simple pleasures!!! The perk of apartment living is a nice pool to enjoy. First day at the pool and hopefully the first of many this summer. Got a good book and plenty of H20. Makes for an utterly relaxing afternoon.

A Switch

June 4, 2012

I'm slowly changing my cleaning habits to be more "green". My reasons are mainly the health of myself, family and pets but of course I care about the earth too. I've always been disturbed about the list of chemicals found in everyday cleaners and even detergents. I'm learning a lot about making my own cleaners and finding out that many household items such as baking soda, soda water and vinegar are great cleaners and disinfectants. In the long run I know it'll make for a healthier environment to live in. I have a sneaking suspicion that many poisons we openly use in our home environments could be to blame for the increased rate of issues in children like autism, behaviors, etc. Anyway, that's my soap box. My plant-based, biodegradable soap box. :0)

BED!

June 3, 2012

We finally arrived home. I am so looking forward to sleeping in our own bed tonight! We've been in other beds for the past 10 nights. 

Leaving

June 2, 2012

Our last day in Vegas we decided to hang out at the pool. We had so much fun, we missed check out! Oops... 4 nights and 5 days is a LONG time to be in Las Vegas. We had a great time but it's always nice to get home. 

Absinthe

Tonight is our last night in Vegas. We saw the show Absinthe. It was a small center stage show. Very intimate seating in a tent. It was great! Humor, sex appeal and acrobatics galore.
