Easter weekend came and went, which means that I am officially on Spring Break!

Monday was a busy day trying to get all of my errands ran before I left on Tuesday for…

LONG BEACH to visit this lady!!  

I have never been to Long Beach and thought that this was a perfect time to do it!  The two of us have a bridal shower to attend this coming weekend for Miss Alice (since we both have the pleasure of being bridesmaids), so I am bringing Ellen back home with me!  It will be fantastic to have company on the return 5.5 hour drive!!

So I got into town late last night.  Today we filled the morning, before Ellen had to head to class, with breakfast and a walk around her area.  Once she headed off to get smarter at school, I went down to the beach with the intention of grading papers while laying in the sun.  You know what they say about the best laid plans…it was too windy to grade, but I did spend some time sunning and reading!

Now I am grading papers/getting caught up on tumblr before its time to hit the town tonight!
