Ten on Tuesday

1. Any vacations you are looking forward to this summer?
The annual trek to North Wildwood, and possibly a Disney trip but that'll be before summer.
2. What is your favorite article of summer clothing (shoes are included)?
flip flops

3. What is your favorite summer drink (alcoholic or non)?
strawberry daquari or smoothie

I'm a good girl who wears sunscreen, but when I don't I usually burn once, then tan.

5. Any goals you are working toward this summer?
To enjoy every moment and try to relax.

6. What is your favorite summertime food?
Does ice cream count as a food?

7. What song most says “summer” to you?
Love those Wildwood days...

8. Any home improvement goals planned for this summer?
Hah, I've always got goals, just no funding. I'd really like to spruce up the landscaping and maybe replace the shutters. Beyond that, redo our master bath and kitchen in my dreams.

9. What is one thing you hate to see at the beach?
Parents not paying attention to their kids or a parent looking for a lost kid. Makes me too anxious.

10. Did you ever go to a summer camp?Only field hockey camp during high school, which fell during the summer. And then I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald Camp for three years and that was a camp for children with cancer/their siblings.

Wine Trail Weekend

Saturday we joined Meg & Colb and Tim & Laur on our second annual Wine Trail Weekend outing. We went last year and had a great time, so we figured we'd go this year and try a new winery, among a couple of favorites. This year we went to Auburn Road first, and it was quite crowded but they had a great set-up. One of the owners did our group's tasting and we also enjoyed soup samples and a chocolate fountain with sweets. Oh, and they had these deliciously wonderful truffles made by Sweet Mary's Chocolates. Yum. Round Two was at Heritage Station where we met up with my sister and her hubs. When I say crowded, that doesn't even begin to explain the scene. You couldn't even walk around and made sure to hold your group's ground if one person left to grab a plate of cheese to share or to check out their weak and almost empty chocolate fountain. However, they did have this port chocoloate coffee that was yummy and unique. Round Three, and yes, we saved the best for last, was at Wagonhouse which is housed at a farm market for now, but they recently purchased farmland and hope to have their own set-up by the Mother's Day wine trail. The owners are a very down-to-earth, fun couple. They even remembered us from a year ago! Last year we tested out wines that weren't even bottled for the general public yet. I love their wines, especially the ones under the Three Boys Brand label. Yum. By that time, another couple had joined us and we were a happy group of 10. We relaxed the night away at our house with Chinese take out, McD's nugget special, and some HGTV for the ladies and Nova bball for the guys (and Meg). Good times.

It was a wonderful day spent with a really great group of people. Not your typical dinner date V-day celebration, but much more fun. It's a blessing to have friends like that.

1. What’s your favorite kind of donut?
Glazed or Bavarian Cream...now I want two one.
2. Do you use the snooze button?
An average of 3 times every morning.

3. Do you write in cursive, print, or a combination of the two?
combo...you think as a teacher I'd have perfect handwriting...hah

4. Tell us a joke.
What do you call cheese that isn't yours....................nacho cheese!

5. How many languages do you speak?
Uno. And maybe a few ASL signs that stuck in my head after taking ASL I&II

6. Why did you start blogging?
I was taking up too much free bandwith on a totsites I started for Aidan and didn't want to pay for the site so I came to blogger. It's mostly to keep family/friends up to date about Aidan, and to also have a place to speak my mind.

7. Do you use bar soap or liquid body wash?
both.

8. Do you buy bottled water?
Only for parties. I use a reusable bottle every day at school, and have started taking that with me in the car or places we'd usually take bottled water to. Unfortunately during Phillies season we buy more bottled water just so we can bring it into the stadium.

9. What did you think of the Super Bowl Half Time Show?
Well, I LOVE the Black Eyed Peas, but was a little disappointed in the sound quality. Didn't stop me from singing along.  Glad Usher showed up too.

10. How do you feel about Steve Carell leaving The Office?
Don't care. I don't watch it.

My thoughts on life right now:
Getting caught up on some things, but still TONS left to do.

6. What is your favorite piece of jewelry (besides your wedding ring)?
My engagment ring? I guess my diamond earrings too.
