A quiet day at the end of spring break!

Well, this morning I have accomplished very little… slept late, zoned out watching food network for a few (I am an addict), ate a quick breakfast, and then hopped on here to check up on the whole blog thing. :-) I ended up reading several other blogs (linked to them from Moo’s – that would be Megan Hutching’s – blog) and thoroughly enjoyed the reading! Some of them even brought me to tears (this is not unusual, however, I cry a lot (lol)… happy, sad, mad, watching a movie… doesn’t matter).

Today is Friday of the last weekend of my spring break! How is it possible that spring break can go by so quickly when the last couple weeks of school before the break drug by at a barely tolerable pace? Such is life! I am just thankful to have had the break. And to tell you the truth, I have done a lot of nothing… but I think that is exactly what I needed. I went to see a movie (Vantage Point – I recommend it, I was on the edge of my seat), I went to Chattanooga to visit family and the dentist (fun, fun), I spent time cleaning and working a little around the house, and then poof – here I am, break almost over!

On a lighter note, it’s SPRING! My most favorite time of year! Beautiful weather (even spring storms are beautiful), summer in sight (an even bigger thrill for us teachers), flowers in bloom everywhere, time to grill out and chill with friends… I just puts a “spring” in my step! I love it!

I will leave you today with a favorite recipe for any time of year – but I think of it especially during the spring! Sangria! There are millions of ways to make it, but here’s my personal favorite!

1 bottle of red wine
1 cup tequila
¾ cup sugar (add more if you like your sangria sweeter)
1 pt. strawberries pureed
1 cup orange juice
1 cup grapefruit juice
1 cup cranberry juice
sliced fruit (I use oranges, lemons, and limes)

Cheers! Enjoy your spring weekend!
