Gearing up for summer...

I have a former blog that I used to update sporadically. It's here: http://lauraammon.vox.com/. I used that blog for friends and Ran's family mostly and will probably cross-post for a while, just to see how this goes and whether the fam migrates or not.

This coming week is finals week, which means all grading for me. I have a bunch of bureaucratic stuff to do for the state of FL before I can leave for a summer in Boone. I am excited about this summer -- my sweet sweet cousin Marc is getting married, there's new places to hike, Jasmine's graduation and prep for her first year at college, and of course my writing, which I hope will go well. Or just go. I'm not particular about that.

My plan is to update weekly with something -- pictures, hiking tales, general changes in our lives. Let's hope that goes better than most of my plans. Jasmine was just here for her spring break, which goes to show how crazy the calendar can get when HS spring breaks are connected to easter (argghh!). We did have a lot of fun around all the work I had to do (and she had to do). We went to the mall, St. Augustine and the Cummer Museum in Jax.

Here's Jaz on the art at the Cummer Museum lawn, recovering from some museum fatigue.

What? All the cool kids are doing it....

So, here I am a lemming! I am inspired by my cousin who just started a blog and I wanted to be able to share with him, too. My partner, also has a great blog. Ran actually has several blogs but I'm too far behind to be competitive at this point. I used to post on vox but it's time to give the rest of my life over to google. Between googledocs, googlecalendar, googletasks and gmail, I can hardly think without google. Might as well blog with google, too!

Look for me to have something more substantive to say, soon.
