It's really been THAT long?

Has it been nearly 2 months since I've posted? Yikes. I have been taking pictures, I promise. My excuse for the last 2 weeks: our laptop has been in for repairs. And for whatever reason, I cannot sign in to blogger from our desktop.

So today, I'm posting from school. Students are reviewing for exams, which I find exceedingly boring. And I'm pretty much caught up on the current work. When I'm done with this post, I will actually be working on lesson plans that I will use over a week from now. And I will feel so accomplished.

But a random experience I've had, that I'd like to share with you.

Sometime last summer, and environmental group caught me on a good day outside of Trader Joe's. They were doing some sort of membership drive, along the lines of "Please add your name, and some money to our cause. Or else we fear for the future of all trees, fish, and microbes." Okay. Sign me up - and here's my check for $25.

Well, apparently I didn't see the place where I could check a box stating that they shouldn't share my address with every environmental group in the United States. I've been getting so much junk, I mean, opportunities to save the planet, that I think my $25 has basically just gone to postage and paper. It's rather annoying, on a few levels.

But I've found one small bonus. Many of these groups send you free address labels with pretty pictures on them. And on Tuesday, I got 3 - that's right THREE - free sets of address labels. I think I'm set for when we send out baby announcements in May or June.

Speaking of that, all things pregnancy are going well. I'm about 24 weeks along. We know we are having a boy. If you ask Kate if she is having a baby brother or baby sister, most of the time she answers, "Baby sister." Until we correct her - and yet she doesn't seem to mind the baby brother answer, either.

Let's see . . . . Terry finished her cancer treatements a couple of weeks ago. Now there is the waiting game of 6-8 weeks before they do more tests to see if the treatments did the job.

I promise pictures (even if they are old) over the weekend.
