After such a fun day yesterday, I was looking forward to having a relaxing Sunday… but when my friend called me at 10 a.m. to see if I wanted to go with her to the outlet mall, I of course said “yes!” and headed out the door! We hit up Jamba Juice which is a [...]

Today was a fantastic end to a very long week. I had far too many days where I was up too late and got up too early, and with the full moon on Tuesday, my students were INSANE! I left work today at 2:15 and made a 45-mile drive southeast to my old stomping grounds [...]
