New job, new husband, new RV...but not in that order.

Currently I'm: Sitting on a ball typing, as I wait for hubby to get home from work.

Wearing: green polo shirt and white longer shorts

Days till 40th birthday: 76. Gulp.

Last thing I ate: Chocolate covered raisins and taco dip with chips. I'm so bad.

I took a job teaching at a charter school here in Salt Lake City. I do not teach Adapted PE anymore. Strange. I thought I would be an APE teacher until retirement. I teach Health to 8th graders, CTE (Career Ed) to 7th graders, and PE to K-5th grades. My schedule is quite mellow and my colleagues are a unique bunch, many recruited internationally. I got lucky with this job, fo sho. I LOVE having a classroom. It is like a second home. Decorating it has been so fun!

I also teach an online grad class for a public university. Between the 2 jobs, I find myself quite busy. A big change from the past 6 months of not working!

Marrying James turned out to be the best decision of my life. That's us in the pic below on a biking trip. Is it possible for a husband to be more loyal, doting, affectionate, giving, than he? Doubt it. His energy level is insane. Nothing goes neglected. He is the King of TCBing. I won't disgust you with how lucky I am being married to him. But just know it, people. Enough said.

Mackenzie, still back in Albuquerque, moves out of her apartment, back in with Doug (her dad) in less than 2 weeks. She continues to plug away at the Aveda Institute and will graduate in the beginning of 2011. The picture below is her standing on the beach in Santa Cruz for her 18th birthday. You go, girl. Prove the world wrong. Mumsy loves ya.

James and I will be flying back to help with the move. I am oh so looking forward to it...pause, pause, NOT!

This weekend, we are flying to the Cesspool Otherwise Known as Las Vegas. I am on a board that has 2 days' worth of meetings. James is so awesome to tag along even though he dislikes it as much as I.

We had some major RV drama last weekend as we were about to head out to Ashley National Forest for the weekend. It wouldn't start. James called the Mercedes dealer (we have a very cool Class B MB Cruiser) and a tow truck came. It gets worse. The incompetent tow truck driver hooked his chains to something inappropriate and bent the underparts all to hell. So, not only was our awesome weekend plans shot to hell, we worried the RV was irreparable. Great news, though. Mercedes called and let us know that the parts arrived from Germany and the RV is ready to go! Phew. If only I didn't have the Vegas meetings this weekend, we could go play in the RV! Pout.

Sidebar: The night before we thought we were leaving in the RV, James said to me: "Ya know, it takes quite a princess to add fresh basil and sundried tomatoes to the camping supply list...." Smiling.

Okay, all, off to shine my tiara.
