Lazy Hazy Days of Summer

So here it is....June 22nd, officially the second day of summer and we've got a pretty typical Vancouver Day-read muggy, humid, cloudy and aupposed to hit 21 C. Ugh. I would just like a little sunshine please-please?

I just finished reading my crafty sister's blog and felt very inferior. For anyone who has a sister, you will recognize my innate sibling jealousy/rivalry. She has always been "crafty" while I peg myself as more "artsy", IE) She will recycle anything she can get her hands on and make something out of it....I'd rather buy a canvas and paint it. Both crafy, just different.

Anywho, I know no one follows this blog, probably becuase it has no theme (much like myself), so I'm gong to try to theme my days on my blog. Here's what I hope to accomplish...

MONDAY-Weekend Wind Up: I'll be writing about my weekend and what I did....this will most likely be a hodgepodge of various activities to catch up on my blog. Brilliant right?

TUESDAY-Tales of Teaching: I am a dance teacher and I teach on Mondays and Wednesdays for the 2010/2011 Season. ON Tuesday I will blog about issues and solutions for teachers (any type of teacher) in the classroom. Or I might just vent about my struggles and look forward to your input! It will be a great way to share about the joy & frustration of teaching.

WEDNESDAY-GLEEful: So during the regular TV season I will be writing about GLEE (my fave TV show). I like to talk about performances (live, theatre, music, tv anything really), but my fiance doesn't. SO, I'll be writing about it here....I may also post my own version of a Glee song from the episode that week sung by...yours truly. We'll see!

THURSDAY-So You Think You Can Dance: DUH! I will be ranting, or raving about the dances on SYTYCD (USA). I will give my expert opinion, and yes I can say expert becuase I have a degree in dance-SUCK IT! LOL I will also give my opinion of who should stay and who should go....they'll never be accurate, becuase I'm not America.

FRIDAY-Current Events: Friday will be the day I post about current events that are happening, maybe not necessarily local but possibly global, national; whatever is kinda getting under my skin. I have strong feelings about society in general, so it will give me a chance to vent, and hear about other people's feelings toward the issue...maybe even come up with some solutions.

SATURDAY-Craftastic: I will post any and all crafts I've been working on during the week....hopefully this will MAKE me be more productive. I am currently scrapbooking pictures of a trip to California that my then boyfriend (now fiance) and I went on in 2005. We drove from Vancouver to San Diego and back!!!!

SUNDAY-Rest: "And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation-Genesis." I'm not gonna lie, I'm lazy (efficient) so I probably won't post on Sunday so that I have time to enjoy my new home, my fiance and my life in general. You'll hear all about my weekend on Monday:)

So that about does it....Today is Tuesday so.....I will write about teaching in a little bit :) Also if you're new to my blog, I like to end with a little quote that realtes to my post, a little nugget of wisdom/thought provoking/idea that you can take with you on your day. Today it is about planning-since I am planning my Blog!

“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” Dwight Eisenhower

I think that pretty much sums up how this is gonna go.....there were a lot of GREAT planning quotes, but this one seemed most appropriate.

Thanks for reading.

PS: My finace's baba (Ukrainian for grandma) passed away yesterday (Monday June 21), so I will be going 'home' (Saskatchewan) for the funeral this weekend, so while I will try to follow my new plan this week, it may have to wait until next week. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
