I had the best day today! I was in such a good mood, and nothing could bring me down! When I woke up I checked my email real quick before I ran out, and Julia sent me an email that said, "I LUV U!" It totally made my day! What a wonderful and unexpected surprise to start my day with a smile! Oh, and speaking of which, today is Share a Smile Day, so please share a smile with someone. Julia really shared a smile with me! Tomorrow is Dr. Suess's birthday, as well.

So has anyone ever had an email conversation with someone at work? By this I mean those little strings of emails that you pass back and forth where you say stupid stuff, exchange dirty jokes, talk about somebody, whatever. I had one today, and it was the highlight of my schoolday. I just emailed another special ed teacher to ask him about something on an IEP, and in the email I asked him how he is liking his new truck. He wrote back something, and we ended up talking about cars for a while, then who knows where it went from there! All I know is that I'm glad I didn't have any students at the time, b/c I was laughing out loud! Aren't those kind of conversations just so much fun! I used to have a buddy that we would have those a few times a week, but now he doesn't have email anymore, boo hoo! Like, we didn't talk about anything important, as that would spoil the mood, but it was fun just to know that I would get stupid little comments from him throughout the day, and I would have to think of something equally witty to write back. I think that if I could have more little conversations like that, I would be happier at work! The best part is later when you run into each other at the copier or something, you kind of chuckle together at your dumb little inside joke, and you know that both of you were slacking off together! I know that's one thing I'll miss when I don't work there anymore. I've thought that I could probably email some people at work from home, but it just wouldn't be the same. Anyone else ever have these, or is it just me (and my unwitting victims!)?

I am so excited! The next couple of months are going to be so busy, and so much fun stuff is coming up in my life! TJ's birthday party is going to be on March 26th. We are going to have it at Finlay Park, which is this HUGE park in downtown Columbia that TJ loves. We are going to have a picnic, and play games (like soccer or something like that), and have pb&j sandwiches and cupcakes made in ice cream cones (I can't wait to make those!)! I know TJ is going to love it, and we get to see all kinds of friends and family! Then, on April 9th, Marie is going to have a baby shower for me in Summerville. I get to hang out with all my home friends and party! I'm not sure what she plans to do yet, but I know it will be tons of fun! On April 23rd, Gina is going to have my Columbia shower, and it is going to ROCK! It's going to be at Atlanta Bread Company, and I can't wait! I like that it's unique and at such a cool place. I love ABC! I feel so spoiled! I had no idea that people loved me so much, and I am so lucky to have such awesome friends (and family)! What a truly lucky person I am! The best part is that with all this excitement, the time is just going to fly by, and before I know it, I will be the mommy of two awesome children! YIPPEE!

Alrighty then, I guess that's enough adrenalin for one day! I hope you are having a super-hyped day like mine, and that tomorrow is even better! See you soon!
