As many of you know, I have been obsessed with 24 ever since the "DANGER" incident in Cali at Diana and Ryan's. Yesterday was the series finale- not the best season ever, but a good last episode. The way they left it, I think they'll come out with a movie, which I would love... Anyway, I thought I would leave you with a small tribute to jack...

I could go on and on...
Anywho- 2 more days of school with kids and half a work day. I'm so excited for this summer- I'm teaching 2 sessions of Camp Invention (one in Coshocton and another up towards my parents), getting my butt in shape and running a 5k in under 30 min, my 10 year reunion, and am in 2 weddings. The second one is for one of my bff's and it's in VEGAS- I haven't seen Katie since our wedding (a year and a half ago)! We got pretty cheap flights and all of our nights comped in hotels- the first few nights, we're staying at the Mirage and then The Bellagio! I need to find a black cocktail dress, so I'm going to need some good shoppers to help... I've already enlisted Sharon, Shannon, and Diana- and the baby can help too if she gets here before then :-)
I felt terrible after school today and meant to sleep for 15 min or so, but it ended up being a lot longer and now I can't sleep... school should be fun tomorrow.

I only spent $18 and I made 4 hanging baskets, 2 flower pots, and potted my basil and rosemary. I'm really missing not having a garden this year, so I'm going to start a container garden. All I really need is the herbs, tomatoes and flowers. Any ideas on where to find super cheap, big containers?

We spent Saturday working on the landscaping and it came out looking so nice- I got really sunburned and am crazy sore, but it was all worth it...

Next weekend project: staining the deck- anyone wanna come help? It'll be really fun :-)
