I can't believe I'm saying this...

I really can't believe I'm saying this but,  I think I'm partied out.  Dr. Seuss week has kicked my butt and there are still two more days to go.

It's fun and exhausting all at the same time and I better get to sleep so I'll be ready for The Cat in the Hat. 

OUCH!

So, Monday night we went out to dinner and on the walk back home I managed to step on a rock and twist my ankle.  It wasn't that painful and we actually thought it was funny.  Of course, the cocktails we had at dinner may have had something to do with that. lol!

Tuesday morning I get out of bed and can barely stand on my ankle.  After lots of hopping, limping and swearing it got better but it was still painful.  I managed to get through the day without an obvious limp, but it's still a little swollen and not nearly as funny as it seemed to be Monday night.  lol!

My alarm goes off at 6 in the morning and I actually get up sometime between then and 6:30.  So, if you hear the echo of some pretty choice four letter words around that time don't worry too much.  It just means I'm up and trying to walk.

Oy vey!

This day kicked my butt! 

Why is it that when the air at school isn't working I feel lethargic but the kids get more hyper?

Thank goodness, they got the air going.  Lets just hope it keeps working.

BTW, it feels really weird to be worried about the AC when some of you are knee deep in snow.  You're always welcomed to visit Miami.

It's Dr. Seuss week!

Well, I was worried that my weekend would be boring because I had a little let down on Thursday night.  I found out that there was a bacon festival on Saturday and I really wanted to go.  Orange Croc Guy wasn't as excited.

OCG:  Why would we go to a bacon festival?

Me: Because that's what we do!  We're the kind of people who go to tattoo conventions and bacon festivals.

I decided that I would get Lonely Girl to go with me since OCG was being a stick in the mud.  I mean, she picked up a guy in a dress at the the Renaissance Festival so I couldn't wait to see who/what she could pick up at a bacon festival.  lol!

But, when I went online to look for tickets, I learned that the bacon festival was sold out.  SOLD OUT!  Who would have guessed?  lol!

Lonely Girl was just as disappointed as I was!

It was also the weekend of the South Beach Food and Wine Festival, so we still had lots of things to see and do and lots of extra traffic to avoid.  I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Thank goodness the foodies will be leaving town now and it will be easier to get into a restaurant and to drive anywhere.  Of course, the spring breakers will be hitting the beach soon, so it's all just a cruel circle.

This is going to be one of those really busy but fun weeks at school cause we're celebrating Dr. Seuss all week.  Monday is all about The Lorax and Truffala Trees made using Twizzlers and cotton candy.  YUM!  lol!

I have enjoyed three wonderfully blissful days of doing as little as possible, but that's ending now.  I have to go back to work and it will be the end of March before I get another long weekend.

It's been a cold weekend

We waited until the middle of February to have our first cold days of winter, but man did we ever do it right!  It has been C-O-L-D!!!!!

I took advantage of the cold weather and did absolutely nothing, but lie around under a blanket watching TV and drinking hot chocolate.  It's been awesome!

Actually, I visited the home of a former student today and took some pictures for her birthday.  Of course, I haven't even looked at them yet cause I was busy lying around under the blanket, watching TV and drinking hot chocolate. Maybe tomorrow...

How was your Valentine's Day?

Download word art here

I spent my Valentine's Day trapped in a classroom with 18 kindergarten students and no air conditioning.  That means I arrived home after work hot, tired, cranky and in need of a cool shower, a cold drink and a nap.

Orange Croc Guy called to wake me up and say that I had three choices for dinner....

1. I could cook for him   
2. He could cook for me   
3. We could order fajitas

I immediately asked if option number 1 was a joke and he confirmed that it was which made me happy cause I really didn't want to stop talking to him and risk burning down my building all on the same day.

I also ruled out ordering fajitas which shocked OCG until I explained my reason.  You see, the last time we ordered fajitas the cute fajita delivery guy didn't bring them some girl did and if that happened again then Valentine's Day would be forever ruined.....not to mention the wasted make up.

OCG cooked steaks.

I must have been sleepy...

I woke up this morning and found my toothbrush in the trash can.  Seriously!  I don't keep my toothbrush any where near the trash can so the only way it could have gotten there is if I threw it away after brushing my teeth.  I don't remember throwing it away, but I must have.....unless.....the bathroom ghost is back and has decided to stop flushing the toilet and start throwing my toothbrush away. 

Don't laugh!  It could happen!

Saturday fun

On Saturday we took a little road trip up to Jupiter, Florida to visit the Blowing Rocks Preserve.  It's a very pretty spot along the beach where the coastline isn't completely flat.  At high tide they say the waves hit the rocks and can splash as high as 50 feet in the air.  Sadly, we didn't see that but it was still beautiful!

Yep, this is where I was while some of you were snowed in.
