I'm going to shoot for a new record on MyLot next week

This past Semester has been an interesting one for me. I worked at at my friend's preschool in Berkeley full-time, worked at my afternoon kid client job full-time, and taught a class at the College. I've basically had no time to myself. As of next week, it will be Winter Break at the preschool, I'll have my last week of kid clients in the late afternoon, and I'll have only grading of my final exam and papers to do at the College. In short, I will have time to myself. There will still be music gigs, and I have two woodworking/speaker projects to finish up, but it will all be stuff I can do when I choose to. I'm going to cycle more, to get my girlish figure back (too cold for swimming), and I'm going to catch up on MyLot. Will you have more time for MyLot as the Holidays approach (actually it's already the fourth day of Chanukkah)? Or less, as families visit and people travel?

I don`t seem to get a break. But if I had a couple weeks, I most certain would spoil myself.

What a great photo, already setting your sights on fun, warm weather sports! I forget, you live in a warmer state, where snow doesn't bury your home, up to the windows:) Yes, the rest of this month will be a lot slower for us.

This was our team in August. We won another championship. But now its cool, and we find cool weather activities to do.

It's really slowing down here at work (as my job is tied to school), so we'll be finding new way to twiddle our thumbs for the next two weeks. It's compensation for the onslaught of work in January (our conference) and February (nearly 100 new schools added). Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom!

Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom to you as well! I've been a bit irreverent and have been lighting only a single candle each night. But we've been lighting a new candle each day at the preschool.

Channukkah (or Hannukah) ends the 20th of December, a few days before the Christians celebrations start. I have less time than usual, not for the celebrations, but because I often go to Italy to see my mom.

Yes, I do sometimes MyLot "between" other things. Or I use it as a reward for getting stuff done at home.

I worked at he preschool today. It was fun. I will grade my Scantrons from my class next week. I have already graded the written parts. I saw a kid client from my third job today and am working on the "progress note." Next week I should be able to be a MyLot monster

Less time for myLot since I'll be visiting my parents on the 19th and will stay at their place until New Year. Will be busy doing chores and running errands for them.

My 4-year-olds regularly ask me if I have a baby inside. But I am only a few days of swimming or cycling from being my true model-like self. I will be the male protagonist in a Bollywood movie yet.
