last weekend in connecticut was exactly what i needed and now i really can't wait for the summer. two nights of grilling, drinking beer, sitting out with the fire, playing ladder ball, saturday night was a bit of a celebration for amy's birthday complete with funfetti cake and flip cup. where i was a flip cup champ, like flipping my cup first or second time almost every round. i'll be auditioning for the 2010 national team. and saturday we went for a little boat ride, where i was taught how to drive a motorboat. which was a ton of fun. and then sunday was some sailing, which i'm totally getting better, and this summer i should get a lot better! and then i went with some friends to the premier of the pbs film - into the deep: america, whaling and the world and it was pretty awesome. and i got back home to jersey pretty late, but it was worth it.

monday i picked up my bike - and i love her! i went for a quick ride on monday after i picked her up, but i've been busy this week so i haven't gotten to go for a longer ride. i'm hoping sunday to go for a nice one. i'm excited to check out some of the trails in my backyard (as i live in a state park) but here she is. any ideas for a name? and i also got a sweet rack. haha!
help me name my bike!
and things with work are still uncertain and still will be for the next 2-3 weeks. just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. but other than that, things are going well. 5 more weeks of classes, and lots of work. my juniors keep me laughing and are just fabulous, my sophomores make me work, but i'm having fun with them too. and i'm teaching some pretty cool stuff right now, so i love that.
this weekend i'm headed down to philly to see my love jclark and have a crazy night tomorrow night. and then saturday watching some rowing at dad vail's and cheering on my college crewies and jumping on my favorite assistant coach. yay!
any fun plans? ohh, and i'm curious to see what happens with the uk elections and with everything in greece.
happy weekend!

Sounds like a great weekend in CT!!! I can't wait for the summer!! It can't get here fast enough!
I really want to see that film. And I love your bike! I've always wanted to get into biking but my commute to work is so far I feel like I am always in a car.
That sounds like a great weekend - though I have no idea what flip cup is, or funfetti! I really want to do some sailing this summer.
Sounds like a great weekend. I LOVE your bike! She looks like a Betty Sue to me.
Ohhhh, it's so shiny and BEAUTIFUL! :-)
