Alana - Off To School

Who do you think is happier when the kids go back to school?

Today is Alana's first day of 2nd Grade!

She was ready to go back, but even she seems nervous about the fact that every one of the 2nd Graders in the neighborhood is in her class.  That's four kids who have had more than enough of each other, in the same class room!  Nothing good will come of this!  (I feel sorry for the teacher)

There were two other 2nd Grade classes in her school, they could have split the kids up a little bit better!

Oh, well, we will see how the first day turns out.

Where Was I

Here's a map of the states that I have been to and did something there or saw something there, not just driven through or stayed at a hotel.

Key:
Red = Visited
Gray = Not Visited


visited 21 states (42%)

I'll try to remember to update it if it changes.

Recently I have been trying to pinch some pennies here and there, as I am sure most of you are also doing.

One thing that did not survive is my Web Site (http://lazarides.us - which was mostly just a hobby to me and I think I've learned about all I can from it). I had been considering getting rid of it before because there are free services that allow me to do similar things that I set up my Web Site to do.

So for now I will be using some of the free services that I have access to:
Blog, Multiply, Flickr, del.icio.us.

I may even add some other services to the list as time goes on.

I'm not sure if I will keep the 'lazarides.us' domain name much longer, I'll burn that bridge when I come to it. :-)

In the near future I'll be transferring some of the content that I had on my old site to this blog.
