Bring it on!

So I had really good intentions to write on here at least once a week... and then a couple of weeks went by. But if you put it in the perspective of me usually having months between posts I'm doing great! So, school is out. Yea! There are many reasons why I became a teacher and really summers off was not on the list, but I love them! There are necessary, at least for me. By the end of the year I am burnt out and need some time off to re-charge. Especially this year, I was done about 2 months ago. Anyway my week and a half off has been busy. I sanded and re-painted my dresser. That took longer than I thought it would but it looks good. I also cleaned and rearranged my room. I swear I think I am a pretty clean person but there was so much dust everywhere! I was quite disgusted. Things are much cleaner now. This next week starts my crazy time. I am going to girl's camp from Tuesday through Thursday, then Friday I leave for Southern Utah and Disneyland!!! I am very excited about Disneyland, yea! Mickey here I come! When I get back from CA I have one day and then I leave for CT for a month. I am also very excited to see my family there. I already have tickets for Harry Potter and Wicked. So far my summer is looking awesome!

Shock

So, if I still have any readers I bet you are shocked... two posts in two days. Has the world gone crazy? Maybe. I work at a middle school so I can't really tell. Anyway I should be exercising right now so I am using this as a tool of procrastination. Speaking of that I got the wii active 2 after Christmas and I have to say I have worked out more consistently and just more with this than with anything else. Each exercise lasts for about 2-3 minutes then I can change to something else. I think I have ADD when it comes to exercise. The other reason for this post is that I have been watching quite a lot of Remington Steele lately. And getting a lot of flack for it and while I do not feel thee need to justify my viewing choices... I though I would illuminate some people to what they are missing.

The top 5 best things about Remington Steele...
5. It had high production values and obviously stylists who had some taste because it still looks good. Not like some of those 8o's shows that when you see them now make you want to run away because they remind you of some horrible looks you and others had back then that you would rather never remember.
4. The acting is great. All the leads are good actors and these were perfect roles for them. Most of the extras were pretty good too.
3. The writing is really good and still holds up. I am the first to admit that some of the shows I used to love long ago on second look are very cringe worthy.
2. The character of Laura Holt was a strong, independent woman and great example for me as a child. I am pretty sure my first car was a rabbit because of her :)
1. Pierce Brosnan is HOT!!!



I mean look at him, seriously...

So I suggest you give it a look. You can't borrow mine though, after lending the first season to someone and never getting it back I have a strict it never leaves my house rule now. I would be happy to have you come over for a viewing though... call me...
