Thank God it's Finally Summer!

So today was Cole's last day of school, and I'm officially wiped out. Heh, it's been a tough year school-wise around here. This is the first year that he's taken honors classes and I don't think that any of us were prepared for the amount of work required. Add in the fact that his dad took him out of school for 12 days over Thanksgiving and various other bike races, so he's been playing catch-up most of the year. He ended the year with 5 Bs and 1 A - all very hard earned!

I always take him to lunch on the last day of school so we went to Mizu, our local Japanese tepanyaki steakhouse. It was the yum! I was good and only ate half, but I could have eaten the whole damn thing! I've been so good and my clothes are fitting wonderfully so I resisted. Vacation eating is going to be hard enough so I've got to try the "half" rule as much as I can.

We're leaving on the red-eye to Orlando at 11:30 on Sunday night and I think we're pretty much ready. I've been planning this trip for so long that I can't actually believe it's almost *that* time! I'm so ready it hurts! I've got some laundry to do and I usually try to clean the house before we leave so we can come home to a tidy abode. The good news is that my back issue seems to have cured itself for now. Hopefully, it won't rebound with the rides and tons of walking.

Tomorrow, Tania and I are going to the glassybaby sale and brunch afterward. I'm so excited! She bought me my first glassybaby a couple of months ago and now I'm hooked! My mom got me a gift cert for Mother's Day so I'm hoping I can use it at the sale. My cute apple green baby needs some brothers and sisters!

That's it for now, folks. I probably won't blog from Orlando, but I'm sure Chris will so be sure to check out his blog. I'll post a full trip report when I return!

Lots of love!
Bev

I'm excited as well :) I'm finally done with work a bit until after vacation, so I'm ready for some time off!

Thanks for all the prep work! As I was biking down to Seattle yesterday, the guy that I was biking in with was asking if it was easy to prepare for a Disney trip. I explained that some restaurants need reservations months and months in advance. He was shocked, but I knew you'd already made all the good reservations so we were prepared! Thanks!

ohh...what color glassy baby did you get?

I've been lusting after them since I saw your original post.
