Spring Break Recap!

WoW where do I begin! I had so much fun in Daytona Beach with Danielle! I left early Tuesday morning and flew from Atlanta to Orlando. The flights to Daytona were way more expensive and Orlando is a short drive from Daytona! Danielle has class in Orlando on Tuesday's anyway so it all worked out. While she was at class I went to a hotel where her mom works and go to lay by the pool! Check it out!

After she got out of class we went to the Cheesecake factory for dinner and it was yummy.

Wednesday and Thursday were pool days. Here are some more pictures.

Friday it was rainy and cloudy so we went to the movies. We went and saw The Last Song since I finished reading the book in the few days by the pool. I loved the book. I cried like a baby however. I actually have a personal connection to the book and movie and don't want to say much to ruin it for anyone. Despite reviews I did enjoy the movie. It was hard to watch but I loved it.

Friday night we rented Precious and stayed in and had Pizza and a movie night. Precious was ok. I'm not sure about all the awards it got. It was kinda weird at times. Did you see this movie? If so what did you think?

Late Friday night Zach got in. Saturday we all went to the beach/pool again and had some more fun in the sun. Here are some more pictures.

Saturday night we had every intention on going out after dinner, however we are "too old" lol i guess because we were exhausted. We went to Olive Garden for dinner and had some drinks there and then went back to Danielle's.

Sunday Zach and I left we drove home back to Atlanta. It was time to get my lesson plans done for this week and papers graded...BOOOO to spring break being over so fast....oooo well..

I have missed the blogging world and am glad to be back!!!

Top Two Tuesdays: Magazines!

Its time for Top 2 Tuesday over at The Undomestic Momma

This weeks topic is top 2 Favorite Magazines:

1. Shape Magazine

I love to read Shape every month because it has so much in it. From new workout ideas, to cardio tips and diet help. It is a very motivating magazine and helps me sometimes get out of a rut! This month my favorite comedian Chelsey Handler is on the cover!

2. My second favorite magazine is People!

I love people magazine because it gives me the star scoop and its not as "trashy" as some other magazines. It also usually has fashion looks in it as well. I love doing the crossword at the back. People is my must have magazine when i am traveling. I will be getting one today in the airport for sure!

Monday Acronym: SPRING!

Since Saturday was the first day of Spring I thought it would be fun to do an acronym today in honor of it!

S: Spring

Spring is the start of the 4th quarter/nine weeks left of school for me in Georgia. Thats right we are almost done with school! YAY! Spring also means Spring Break which for me is next Friday!!! Spring means bright colors, dresses and skirts!!!

What do you like about Spring?

P: Park

Saturday I spend the day at the park! It was 75 here and sunny. Jonathan is a little boy I have been watching after school for 3 years now and he had his first baseball game. Hopefully I can remember my camera next time. In the meantime this is a picture of Jonathan, Zach and I at our wedding! Yes he and his mom traveled from Georgia to Rhode Island for our wedding! What can I say we are family in GA! :)

R: Rain

Rain Rain go away come again another day! I know they say April Showers brings May flowers but I cannot stand the rain. Last night it stormed so much here, we had hail, wind and lots of rain. Tomorrow and the next couple of days it is going to be 60-75 so I am very excited!

Ohh well! Mother Nature must do her thing

I: Icecream

One thing I love about Spring and Summer is Icecream! I am a stinker for it. Right now I can't really have it because of my weight loss track but I cannot wait till I can cheat and get a Brownie Sundae!!

Shows: Tonight starts the new round of Dancing with the stars. I am not a huge Dancing with the stars person however the cast on this round looks like it will be fun to watch. I am totally rooting for Nicole Scherzinger. source

New Shoes means I can finally start wearing sandals with the nice weather. My favorite pair of Spring shoes is my Tory Burch flip flops. I have them in tourquoise.

On to the Giveaway!

I was thinking of doing a giveaway but not sure what would interest everyone. I have a black Dooney and Burke wristlet with rainbow DB symbols on it. I have never used it and it still has the tags on it. (I'm ashamed to admit it was a gift :( I like it just never got around to using it)

Would that interest anyone???

If not any suggestions on what to do for a giveaway??????

Monday Acronym

Since I am a teacher I thought it would be fun if todays post was an acronym!

M: March Madness!

March Madness has officially begun! I know many of you have already blogged about it and are excited as well. My husband is a huge sports fanatic and the one sport i don't mind watching with him is College Basketball. Every year we fill out our brackets and see who does better. The first year we met I bet him that Duke would win and he said that Maryland was going to win. Well he won that year! Lol. I'll have to fill you in on my picks later! Typically we are huge UNC fans, well since the Tar Heels are not that good this year we will have to go else where. Zach went to Providence College which is a Big East school. He usually likes to favor Big East schools like UCONN, NOTRE DAME, SYRACUSE, SETAN HALL, & GEORGETOWN!

What is your favorite sport? Do you watch March Madness?

O: Orlando

For Spring Break this year which is in 3 weeks! I will be flying to Orlando where one of my good friends Danielle will pick me up and I will be staying with her. She lives in Daytona Beach. So it will be a fun filled girls week of fun in the sun! I am so excited an cannot wait to sit and relax in the sun! Here are some pictures of me and Danielle last December when Zach and I went to Daytona for my birthday!

What are your Spring Break Plans?

N: Nausea &

D: Dizziness

No I am not pregnant! Or at least I don't think I am. I got that question about a million times today. My grade level thought it would be funny to try to cheer me up and say so I hear your pregnant. Well I'm not, Today was just a not so good day for me. At about 10:00 this morning in the middle of teaching my 5th graders math I started to feel nausous and dizzy. I ignored it and continued on with my day. I ate my snack and took some excedrine. Well it got worse. At around 12:00 I went down to the clinic and laid down for a little while. I still have no idea what is wrong with me. I cancelled my afternoon tutoring and babysitting jobs and came right home after school. I will say that may have exaushted myself since i have gone to the gym everyday for the last 13 days straight working out like crazy. I am also dieting. I've lost 5.5lbs so I thought everything was going well. Last week I came down with Laryngitis again and has some mucus. So i guess I have just been a big run down mess and the time change didn't help. So tonight it is me, the couch and the TV!

A: Award!

I received my second award today from Krystal at Krystal's Kitsch

Since I just passed one my last award to 12 people, I pass this one on to anyone who wants it. You are all Sugar Dolls to me for leaving me comments and reading my blog. So grab it and add it to your blog!

Y: Yesterday

Yesterday well last night Zach and I watched Amazing Race. We love that show and are particularly watching it this year because there are two teams from Rhode Island (where we are from). We don't know the players but think it is cool the not 1 but 2 teams are from our small little state. I am also a hugh Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother Fan! Then I watched as the new season of Kendra started. I just love her. She is so quirky.

What do you watch on Sunday's? Do you and your significant other have a show you watch together?

Favorite Fridays!

My friend Jennie has started a new weekly post! I love it. Follow along if you can!

This week's topic is Favorite Vacation Spot

My Favorite Vacation Spot: Mexico!

I know your probably thinking where in Mexico. Well there are two places that I have traveled to and love them both equally. The first is Cancun. I have been there 4 times. A former friend of my mom's owns timeshare so we use to travel with him.

The second is Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We went there on our honeymoon. It is beautiful and relaxing at the same time. Though the ocean is not quite a "swimming ocean" It was such an amazing trip.
