Dedicated to Molly!!!

Mamma Mia!

Great!! I love spontaneously breaking into song especially if it is perfectly integrated within the movie. Nothing like some ABBA!!!

Work officially begins again tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this year -- the first year teaching with nothing else on the brain. Totally loving that!!

Did spend the day at work today trying to get organized so I'm not so scattered. All is well, I think this year is going to rock -- even if it doesn't, I totally have an upbeat feeling to start it with.

Wahoo -- let's begin Teacher Year #3!!!!

The Change

I am officially

with the government and with my job,

almost completely,

Mariana Kay Rouse.

It's a strange reality right now,

but I'm liking it.
