I am thinking..That I wish I had 3-day weekends every week

I am thankful... for air conditioning!!!!!!!!! 

One of my favorite things... going to the beach on a hot day

I am wearing...  jean capris, black t-shirt w/ design 

In the schoolroom... Almost time to start 11th grade!  Trying to get the entire 1st marking period lesson planned. 

In the garden... Most everything is hanging in there with this heat!  I resurrected my basil that committed suicide (twice) by jumping out of the pot onto the ground!

I don't even know where to start with prayers - the world I suppose!  This evil is spreading and can pop up anywhere at any time.
