We made the commitment. For spring break we'll be visiting Becky in Las Vegas. My one, and only, experience with Sin City was terrible! (Boy is that a long story...and there's something depressing about people sitting in front of blinking machines 24 hours a day.) But since my sister's been there for almost 2 years, I decided I'd better give it another chance. We found a really good deal on 2 nights at the Luxor. I'm very excited to stay there. I vaguely remember it being my favorite casino when we were there last time. But, it's possible that the yard-o-margarita might have had something to do with that. Anyway...we're also hoping to camp out on Lake Mead or Valley of Fire State Park for a few nights too. It should be much better the second time!
Since we aren't doing the whole "Photo-A-Day" thing this year...I'm having a great deal of trouble thinking of anything to write about. Being that this is my 5th year teaching middle school, I thought I'd share with you some of the things you might be missing out on. So, today I'll begin what I'm going to call...
Middle Schoolers: They Say the Most Random Things.
On his way out the front door this afternoon, one of my students says to the girl walking next to him, "My hair smells like lavender." Where did that come from? This is a classic example of the way the middle school mind works. Thought enters head, it immediately exits through the mouth. No screening process needed.

Viva Las Vegas! You will have fun,it will be a nice break from the kids at school!
It has got to be better this time around, and it sounds like you have a good attitude about it. Probably the fact that you aren't driving there automatically improves the plan (you are flying, right?!).
That youngster probably thought the ladies should know that he smells good for a change.
