Summertime Maasen Style

It has been brought to my attention that I have not blogged in a long time - I do not really have a reason other than i just don't think about it.
As a teacher there are a few questions that I get asked VERY often:

  1. What do you do ALL summer? 
  2. When do you go back to work? 
To answer the first comon question, I will tell you what I have been up to this summer. Mostly I have been relaxing and just enjoying not having to do much. I tend to stay pretty busy and work several hours during my 9 months of the school year. So here is some random things that I have done this summer so far.

  • going to the pool to work on my tan/even out my coaching tan lines (my feet are finally pretty tan) 
  • went to a leadership training for work
  • worked a softball camp for a few days
  • drove to Ohio and back for about a week to visit my best friend
  • went to Italy for 8 days - Florence, Venice, and Rome - so great I have posted pictures on facebook and I will be blogging on that trip soon 
  • working out at the gym - i started a new workout program, I'm only on week 2 but it is pretty good so far
  • house/dog sitting for a lady i work for
  • tea time with Deann and Susan 
  • spending some time with my Granny 
  • going up north to hang out with my favorite mom (mine) 
  • reading some books
  • staying up way to late 
  • sleeping in 
  • watched my friends dog Coda at my apartment 
  • drinking QT summer drinks - mostly the Mango Tea since I am not drinking pop right now
  • 4th of July supper with the Johnson Family 
  • a day of relaxing and flea market shopping with Angel 
  • watching the ALL STAR Game 
  • spending some time with my brother 
  • eating home grown tomatoes from my dads huge garden 
  • FaceTime with the TBlakes
  • meeting with 12 high school girls for a Bible Study once a month
Alright now on to question 2: 
I have to go back to work on August 10th. Volleyball starts on August 15th and the first day of school with students is August 16th. I love my job and I don't mind going back to work - I really just miss my free time to do things for myself.

Wish I could see a picture of those tan feet, I find it a little hard to believe.
