This week is both dragging and speeding by. Something has come up everyday and my plans of making it into my classroom to start setting up have gotten derailed. I have unloaded ALL THE STUFF there though because I couldn't look at it in my basement anymore.
I was able to renew my Alaska driver's license through the mail. I'm amazed at that. Same picture, new license. See you by 2020, Alaska. You can only renew once through the mail.
We are remaining Alaska residents. Scott's end game is to get some land there. It wouldn't be a permanent home (because Kristin) but it would be his vacation spot. I suppose I could make it work once a year or so.
I've been going to yoga or Pilates at least once a week. I've been trying to make it to kettle bell too. I'm only getting to the gym maybe twice a week because sometimes things interfere with class times, but I'm so much happier than I was last year when I was forcing myself to go everyday.
My brother Denny graduated from the state police academy last week. My parents should be very proud. All 3 of us are now successful, employed, functioning members of society! (I'm not even being sarcastic here. 3 out of 3 is a miracle in this day and age, right?)
I made Greek Pasta Salad a few weeks ago for dinner at the neighbor's house. I was going to do a whole post on it but then every blogger I know started sharing it. Repeat content is not popular, I know. At least I have a pretty picture. And I maintain that my mom made it first (back in 2003).
Orzo, feta, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, red onion (if you're so inclined). I did make my own dressing though. I used Ina Garten's recipe (she's such a snob…a grown-up version of Blair Waldorf).

I bought $2 red wine vinegar from Wal-Mart and I know that's not what Ina is talking about here.
Everyday I try to take the dogs around the property. It's lots of sand, brush, and jack rabbits.
Of course, I took that picture last week. This week it has not stopped raining for more than a few hours at a time. The amount of mud puddles I'm forced to drive through each day is insane.
Yesterday, I caught a mouse. I had an inkling that there was one hanging out in the basement so I set a couple of those traps that contain them so you see that there is a mouse in it (as indicated by the super helpful gauge on the side) but it's opaque so you never actually see a mouse. Well, the gauge said "MOUSE CAUGHT!", but it didn't seem like there was a mouse in it so I flipped it to "Set trap" and then out popped a dead mouse. I almost threw up. And I screamed a little bit too.
