I am new at this

This is my first attempt at creating a blog. Not that I think I have anything profound to say, but I've always wanted to try my hand at it. I am sitting here on the laptop I got for Christmas and watching one of my favorite television shows, House. Everyone is doing their own thing in different rooms in the house. So here I sit giving blogging a go.

Last night was a late one for me. My best friend Amy and I went to the Dolphins-Jets game. Didn't get home until 1:30 this morning. The worst part being that the Dolphins lost! At least the Heat beat the Lakers on Christmas day.

I brought all kinds of work to do over the holiday break. At some point I will have to break down and grade all those papers. My fifth grade class keeps me pretty busy, but I love my job. It doesn't feel like "work", I really enjoy the individual personalities of the kids in my class. An added bonus is that I work next door to my friend Amy.

Next month I am chaperoning the annual Safety Patrol trip to Washington D.C. It's one of the highlights of the year for me. The 24 hour train trip is a little long, but it's nice to get out of Florida and experience some weather that isn't hot and humid. It was almost 80 degrees on Christmas day. The Florida weather is one thing I complain about a lot. I don't enjoy the hot weather very much. Hopefully I'll retire in the Carolinas some day.
