This summer my new name shall be Mrs. Super Busy Bear.
….who likes to read books…
Monday marked the first weekday of the seven busiest weeks of my life (thus far of course).
Wait, I don’t think that makes sense…??
For the next seven weeks I will be hopefully be floating (and not drowning) in a pool of schoolwork. My teaching program starts next week and ends at the end of July. So, while my weekends will hopefully consist of a bit of summertime fun, my weekdays will be dedicated to learning and studying and preparing.
– Yesterday I spent five hours at a hospital in the city getting a physical so I can be a teacher.
– Today I have two appointments with some of my own doctors so I can get a handle on my headaches (yes I still have one) before I am in school for six weeks straight.
– Tomorrow I have to drive back into the city to drop off school documents and to have my TB test results analyzed by the nurse who stuck me with that mean needle.
– PLUS, I must complete a ton of assignments for summer teaching school before Friday evening.
I can’t complain about my hectic schedule this week after the great weekend I had celebrating the end of my stint as Nanny Bear and enjoying the downtime before I assume the role of Mrs. S.B.B.
Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures…which is so unlike me.
**Friday night we checked out a new place – 2nd Chance Saloon – where we met our friends, B&S, and enjoyed yummy food, live music, and quite the extensive beer list.
A photo of the Bears at 2nd Chance Saloon should appear here… however, we both look horrendous and I refuse to show the public such a beastly picture of us.
**Saturday we went to the pool with B&S (no pictures) and we decided to have a double date night consisting of Sangria, Shrimp, Guacamole, and Chicken Tacos. It was delish!
B & S – They are getting married next summer!
The Bears at B&S’s apartment – which is in the same complex as ours! We are loving that our friends live within walking distance – especially after a night of Sangria.
B made her family’s recipe for Sangria – which was SO tasty and something I shall make in the near future. The only time I’d ever had Sangria before this past weekend was an event I’d like to forget: I was in college – Uconn Spring 2004 – the red death juice was stored in a jug – Carlos Rossi was on the label – and I spent the next morning seeing red in my roommate’s sister’s white porcelain throne.
Well – I have to stick my nose back into the 400 page book we are required to read before next week. Hope you are all having a Terrific Tuesday. XOXOXOXOXOX

Mmmm I want some sangria!!
You’ll have to share that recipe also please:)
How does your TB test look? I haven’t talked about it much on my blog but I just tested positive on the skin test… getting further testing and then might even need treatment 🙁 I am so irritated and sad about the whole thing.
I hope you can get that headache cured ASAP… I used to have chronic headaches too and it’s just terrible.
And that SHRIMP! So good…
Okay, that was a totally random, jump all over the place comment!! I think I am losing it! Good luck with your crazy busy schedule – you’re going to do GREAT!
yummmm sangria!! good luck with all your school work! I feel you on that one!
1. That sangria looks delicious, now I want some really badly!
2. AHH, the dreaded TB test! I had to have one recently and almost fainted I was so scared… yes, I’m a baby!
3. Good luck with all of your school work, I know you’ll do great!
have i mentioned i like the new layout yet? cause i do. makes me feel all happy like i’m sitting outside in the warm sun. 🙂 too descriptive? maybe.
also, good luck with all the edge-u-macation you’ve got headed your way. you are going to be the BEST teacher bear EVER!!! enjoy the school part, i know that sounds weird to say, but once i got back into working after i did my alternative certification classes i really missed being in school.
last, the sangria looks AMAZING. please drink extra glasses of WHATEVER yummy alkihalic bev you are drinking on the weekend. and say cheers to momma fulmer. you don’t really have to do the 2nd part, but if you want to you go RIGHT ahead.
finally, i heart you, big TEAL (bc it’s my fav color) heart you – have a GREAT day mrs. s.b.b. 🙂
Good luck with your new teaching adventure… that is so exciting! Hopefully you can get those headaches under control. My sisters really good friend had headache problems for years and years… and recently she went to see a specialist and they recommended that she get botox… yes, botox. So she did – in random spots of her head, I think near her scalp hair line… and it works so well. Maybe something to consider. Good luck with everything!
All that food (and sangria) looks so yummy! love the new blogger layout.
