In a nutshell...

There's been a lot going on in the last few days: I will try and address as much as I can.

My week at school has been exhausting! Granted, I had returned Saturday from a holiday that left me feeling a bit under the weather and completely knackered. However, the kids did not make things any easier. Monday, my last lesson was a 'free,' so I put my head down in the Science Resource Area and napped for 10 or 15 minutes. Sad, I know, pathetic really, but I felt much better when I woke up! Luckily, the cold has all but disappeared and I think I have finally caught up on my sleep.

The house has been sold. I came home from Europe to a 'For Sale' sign in the drive. This was nothing new to me, they have been talking about selling the house for a while now. Of course, I wasn't expecting it to be quite so soon... One week on the market and their asking price!?! Not bad!! Looks like I need to plan on moving by the beginning of June.

R posted a link to a site on her page that has a bunch of quizzes. On the 'What Kind of American English Do You Speak?' Quiz my results were: 65% General American English, 20% Dixie, 10% Yankee and 5% Midwestern. I felt good knowing that Dixie does not dominate my vocabulary. Then I decided to take the 'How Normal Are You?' Quiz... The 20 questions were pretty basic: 'Can you roll your tongue?' and 'Do you button your shirts from the bottom, up or from the top, down?' Based on my results, I am 0% Normal!! I thought it was a joke, so I made The Brit take the quiz, too. He scored 60% Normal, 'a normal amount of normal' according to the website. On the other hand, I am a freak!! Glad my friends know me better than some internet quiz, or do they? :)

I had another wonderful weekend!! There seems to be a pattern happening here. I can't complain. I won't complain, I am really enjoying myself!!

The Brit took me to see the Rugby Powergen Cup Final on Saturday. It was fantastic!! Rugby really is an interesting game and great fun to watch! Nothing against Football (the American kind), but a game where the men tackle without padding and ears get tapped back so that they are not bitten or torn off sounds like a jolly good time! In all seriousness, a game where the ball can only be passed backward can be quite challenging (and loads of fun to watch).
