County Arts Council Art Show

Yesterday was the Opening Reception of our County Arts Council Art Show... well- supposed to be. Due to bad weather in the am, it was cancelled. I didn't know, so I went on down anyways. (I swear I'm jinxed into not attending the Opening Reception- this is my fourth year in a row- mind you, I've only been at my job for 4 years, to miss it for one reason or another!)

Professional Growth Technology Day

Today was our Tech PGC Day. As usual, got a lot of useful information, but found it hard to adapt in the art room. (Another aggravating point to note is... every time we have presenters show some awesome tools or sites, we try them out the next work day- and they're blocked! How frustrating is this?!) Anywho.. my notes from the day:

Guess who's breeding Creativity?

Me! Sorry I've been a little MIA lately... talk about busy! On top of teaching, prepping for my first art show of the year, planning my sister's wedding shower and helping my other four friends who's weddings I'm in this year.. I found out that I am with child! I'm about 11 weeks now and am so beyond excited. If you know anything about me, or could possibly pick up from my blog, you'll know that I am an extreme planner. Being prego has pretty much taken up all of my free mental time- all I do is think about how to stay healthy, what to expect, baby names, how to decorate our nursery! anything baby related - you name it. I haven't forgotten about the blogging world, don't worry. I'll be posting as soon as I can and I definitely have been trying to keep up with all you wonderful bloggers - just couldn't wait to share my news : ).
