Please excuse me as I take a bit of a blogging hiatus. Never fear, though, I'll continue to check in on your lovely blogs over my absence.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Life is good.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I served on Saturday as a part of a "Service Saturday" and I had the greatest time.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We went to a farm about fourty-five minutes away that grow organic vegetables to give to people in our area who aren't, for whatever reason, able to get nutritious food on a regular basis. I'm not quite sure if they sell it to those people or if they give it away, but I'm sure it is such a blessing to people who aren't used to having access to fresh produce.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After our group of about thirty middle and high schoolers got there (a few of us got a bit lost...) the guy in charge, Steve, explained to us what we were going to be doing. My group of seven was assigned a row of vegetation about 100 yards long. We were told that these were collard greens and that we were supposed to pick off the good leaves and put them into one of the big blue buckets that were lying around. </span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As we were picking, everyone was conversing and lots of new friends were made. It was such a fantastic experience and I feel so blessed to have been lucky enough to be a part of it.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Giving back to a community that you're a part of is such a great feeling and I can't wait until we get to go back to help them distribute the vegetables to the people who need them.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">After that ended (about 1:00), I went to get a much-needed haircut and then I babysat for hBh and wBg. They were so adorable and I can't believe how big they're getting!</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">How was your Saturday spent? I hope it was doing something you love.</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Have a great Sunday! I'm off to church in the AM, then I have a Youth Vestry meeting with pretty much my favorite group of people in the world, then confirmation class, lunch, hopefully a play with Na and AlPal, and then Youth Group. Whew! It's going to be a busy day, but those are the kind I love.</span></div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">The Friday Five is making a comeback! Back in <a href="http://beeiandmyself.blogspot.com/2010/11/friday-five-little-late.html">November</a>, I did a Friday Five about my five favorite things about November. Since it's the beginning of March, I thought I'd share my top five favorite things about this month.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhepezs7hF1qhykmuo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhepezs7hF1qhykmuo1_500.jpg" width="253" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">1.) March Madness! I'm so excited to see my Tar Heels play in the tourney.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sacramentoscoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/st-patricks-day.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://sacramentoscoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/st-patricks-day.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">2.) St. Patrick's Day. For me, Saint Patty's Day signals the beginning of spring.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj69sZoBfhEdgg7H3kQ2S_utRC_yjQnkRKqS_YYHgDWTIX6UiAKDRYFFV0joapk-7USdHsBtcMjSuQJT9Nkjkitt_nJ-F2NxXbuUE0G0KV3wPDd_CstvVo8G9lYiRzAC433ZZV8OyqC1oIl/s1600/Daffodils.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj69sZoBfhEdgg7H3kQ2S_utRC_yjQnkRKqS_YYHgDWTIX6UiAKDRYFFV0joapk-7USdHsBtcMjSuQJT9Nkjkitt_nJ-F2NxXbuUE0G0KV3wPDd_CstvVo8G9lYiRzAC433ZZV8OyqC1oIl/s320/Daffodils.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">3.) The earth is waking up! I feel like March is when everything starts to turn green.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img1.funscrape.com/en/birthdaycakes/1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img1.funscrape.com/en/birthdaycakes/1.gif" width="287" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">4.) Only one more month until my birthday! And this year, it's a super sweet sixteenth.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gamedaymagazine.com/images/in_articles/godwin_girls_copy_photo2_file.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://gamedaymagazine.com/images/in_articles/godwin_girls_copy_photo2_file.jpg" width="225" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">5.) Spring sports. I love spring track, tennis, soccer, baseball, softball and lacrosse. It's such a fun time in the life of the school because lots of people come out for the sporting events and the weather is really nice. Our Girl's Tennis team (above) has been #1 in the state for 4 years and counting!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

So sorry for my lack of posts towards the end of this week, I had a crazy couple of days at school, so blogging had to take a backseat. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However, I made it through my INSANE week, and don't have nearly any homework to do over the weekend, so I'll definitely be queuing up some posts for the coming week.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just a few little going-ons:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-Spring track starts Monday! Whoo-hoo! I am so excited to be reunited with my teammates and I can't wait to finally don a red and white uniform. Plus, if it's spring track time, that means it's almost time for XC!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-I'm going to be a busy babysitting bee this weekend, but I'm so excited. Call me a homebody, a loser with no social life, whatever you wish, but I love spending time with these little boys.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-I drove the speed limit on Wednesday! I know, I know, not really a big deal, but it was for me. I still haven't driven on a road with real cars, but I'm working my way up there. Apparently I'm a natural at five-speed, though!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Happy Saturday! I'm hitting the gym early for some Pilates this morning, then going for a little run. The rest of the day will be spent at the library, researching for my research paper on genocide. Hooray... Until I get to go babysit at 5:30.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What are you up to today?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">1.) My family and friends. They are my support and encouragement and I have no idea what I would do without them all.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">4.) My laptop. Again, sad, but true. It's necessary for all my educational endeavors, but also for personal things as well.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

The color I want and the size I need are both available and it's discounted for only $38.99.

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">My plea to you, lovely followers, is for your opinion. To give in or not? What would you do? Do you think it'll be reduced even further? How long do you think I have to make up my mind before it sells out?

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Today, reallllly early, Mama and Daddy went over to our local Toyota dealership and they're bringing home this bad boy:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media.il.edmunds-media.com/toyota/tacoma/2010/ns/2010_toyota_tacoma_f34_ns_21610_717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://media.il.edmunds-media.com/toyota/tacoma/2010/ns/2010_toyota_tacoma_f34_ns_21610_717.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">SO FREAKING EXCITED.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Even though I won't legally be able to drive it until August 9th, and BB, what with his recent mishaps on the road, won't be allowed to drive it until at least Easter, its presence in our driveway will still be a heck of a thrill.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">The only downside? Two words: stick shift. Blarrrggghhh. But hey, I'll get used to it. Right?</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">But wait, there's more! In the way of exciting news, I've been cleared to dig these puppies out of the depths of my gym bag and take them chasing pavement:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.asicsamerica.com/PROD_PIC/SPRING_2011/MEDPIC/T150N_0191M.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://www.asicsamerica.com/PROD_PIC/SPRING_2011/MEDPIC/T150N_0191M.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> And just in time, too! Spring Track "try-outs" (we use that term loosely) start next Monday!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Oh oh oh! <i>And</i>, Monday is President's Day so there's no school for me, BB, LB, or Mama. That's right, she gets the day off, too.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">It's all so exciting, I'm grinning ear-to-ear just writing this post. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Anyone else have super-exciting good news to share as well? I'd love to hear what's got you smiling!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Have a fantastic Saturday!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

Here are a few of my recent favorites:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/65670000/65676867.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/65670000/65676867.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>Safe Haven</i>, by Nicholas Sparks-- Now, I can't say I'm Mr. Sparks' biggest fan, but this was a good read; exciting, albeit a bit heavy, with the happy ending that is uncommon in his work. 3/5</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/55270000/55275241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/55270000/55275241.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>Commencement</i>, by J. Courtney Sullivan-- I thought it was very interesting; definitely eye-opening in many ways, but much heavier than I thought it would be. All in all, it was a touching story of friendship, and I'd recommend it. Sally was, by far, by favorite character, as I could totally relate to her neat-freak tendencies. Just sayin'. 3.5/5</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/63820000/63821797.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/63820000/63821797.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>Cum Laude</i>, by Cecily von Ziegesar-- The author of the bestselling <i>Gossip Girl</i> series strikes again, this time with a charming story about life on a small, private, liberal arts college campus in the fictional town of Home, Maine. It follows four freshman through their first semester of college, and I thought it was again, very interesting. A bit strange. Okay, very strange at times, but overall, pretty good. 4/5</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">And, I'm currently reading:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/61290000/61292369.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/61290000/61292369.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>One Fifth Avenue</i>, by Candace Bushnell-- It's good, so far, but I'll try to remember to follow-up and let you know how I like it when I'm done.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Also in my stack of books to read is:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

And this author. If you haven't read any of her stuff, you definitely should! It's perfect for poolside and laugh-out-loud funny.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/76870000/76877799.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/76870000/76877799.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>The Help</i>, by Kathryn Stockett-- I know, I know, a little late to the game on this one, but I want to be able to do it justice! I'll probably get it to read over spring break, when I can concentrate and not be interrupted.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/80950000/80953027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/80950000/80953027.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i>The Summer We Read Gatsby</i>, by Danielle Ganek-- Read a review of this somewhere (can't remember now!), and have wanted to read it since!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">What are you reading? Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think? Are there any other books I should definitely read?</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">-----------</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Today, I'm going to see The King's Speech with AlPal and Na, and I'm so excited! I've been wanting to see it since the Academy Awards, so I hope it's as good as they say. Considering my obsession with British royalty, I'm sure I'll love it. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1.)

<br />
This weekend I finally got my Vineyard Vines Spring/Summer 2011 catalog, and I was ecstatic. Not only are the clothes beautiful, but I love the way their catalogs are formatted more like a magazine, and the shots were phenomenal.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I loved most of the collection, but three pieces really stood out to me... <i>Stood out</i> meaning I wanted to hop in the car, drive up to Georgetown and try them on as soon as I saw them. (However, it's a long drive, I'm technically not allowed to drive without a licensed driver in the front seat, there was no way I was convincing one of my parents to go with me, and I was already comfy in my pajamas, so that didn't really happen.

And also that LB and I re-organized the pantry the other day... Well, I just thought I'd share some pictures.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">LB and I had the day off from school on Monday because it was a teacher workday for the end of the semester. Mama had left a list of things around the house that she wanted done, and we got those done in no time. But as I was going to get the bread out of the pantry to make some grilled cheeses for lunch, I cried out in frustration as a pile of things fell on me when I opened up the pantry door.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">So, we decided to do something about it. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidlnutg0JSAHGhX1A5XihU_eAObNAG6wZr1B8BGO0eQo_dQR4PGUx-73F7fY96hge-2Bzqi-GbrkDsLqmuf1vebtk23Ex3HkuEU385FxSIAnJZx1dbpJFl3wDDCaLh_kFFNjVBOlqR2bXg/s1600/dscn7534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidlnutg0JSAHGhX1A5XihU_eAObNAG6wZr1B8BGO0eQo_dQR4PGUx-73F7fY96hge-2Bzqi-GbrkDsLqmuf1vebtk23Ex3HkuEU385FxSIAnJZx1dbpJFl3wDDCaLh_kFFNjVBOlqR2bXg/s320/dscn7534.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Before.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">It was, most definitely, quite an undertaking, as you can see from the middle photo above, but the look on Mama's face when she opened up the door and saw the results made it all worth it. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">----------------</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I feel like I haven't given an update in awhile, so I'll attempt one now.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">This week was crazy. I didn't have a lot of homework or anything, but I started a new class (Driver's Ed, whoop!), so I was a bit out-of-whack all week. I did get a lot of work assigned to do over the weekend, so I'm going to have to really focus in order to get it all done.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Also this week, I was cleared to start working out! (Just biking, swimming and elliptical, though.) I only made it to the gym once, but hope to get back maybe a few times this weekend and next week, for sure.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Last night, Mama and I watched <i>The Young Victoria </i>and I was struck again by how much I love that movie. After it was over, we proceeded to research the history and lineage of the British monarchy for about an hour... We're such dorks.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Today, I'm off to babysit all day for wBg, my favorite 2-year-old in the world. 10:30-5:30. I'm definitely going to get a workout! But he's going to take a nap at some point, so maybe I can get a couple of minutes on the elliptical in while he's sleeping. I'll just have to be really quiet because their gym is in the room next door to W's. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Tomorrow, I'm just going to be finishing up all the homework I have (blech) and then we're heading to a friend's annual Superbowl party. (However, I'm still not sure who I'm rooting for... Better figure that one out.)</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Who do you want to win the big game?</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Have a great Saturday!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
