That Was Close..

Sorry I've been MIA, I was rather sick last week and then got wrapped up in the weekend. Now I'm doing everything I can to avoid homework/schoolwork, so here I am. But you're getting a list because I spent approximately 3.5 hours analyzing data for a huge meeting I have this week, so my brain is a little mushy.

1. Being sick, sick is actually no fun. Being stuck in bed feeling like you were hit by a truck and getting ABSOLUTELY nothing accomplished in 48 hours really puts a damper on things. It's like I lost two days this week.

2. My kids were good while I was absent, but they gave me huuuuuuuge hugs when I came back. Golly I love those munchkins.

3. The Boy gave me a really awesome surprise last week-- a flying lesson. This is really awesome because I would love to get my private pilots license one day. Flying has been a huge part of my life since I was little, so this is really awesome. The best part? It was a surprise for no reason. Those are the best.

4. I'm watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion show? Wow, these ladies are fake. Like really fake. Plastic is oozing from them.

5. Secretly? I kind of hate Valentine's Day. First of all, I hate hearts. Like hate them. When I was looking for wedding stuff, I vommed everytime I saw hearts. They make me sick to look at them. I also hate the idea of being forced to shower someone with affection. Gag me. Except, I love the idea of it in the classroom-- but I take the love part out of it and make it about friendship.

6. Ya'll! Big news! Be looking for a few changes around here. I'm in talks with miss Pink Lou Lou to get a bloggy make over. She's been SO awesome to work with. I can't wait to see what she whips up!

That's about it. I must get some homework and school work done. Stat.

Randomness...

Why did "24" change the name of Metro stops in the episode last night? Weird.

I've never really watched anything or read anything that took place somewhere I was pretty familiar with until last night. It's annoying to me that they changed the name of the Metro stops in the show. There is no Washington Center. It's called Metro Center.

In school we're talking about jobs. I asked the kids to do a group writing experience about what they wanted for a job. Let me know which one you think does not belong.

When I grow up, I want to be:
a) a dolphin trainer
b) a worker at Wal-Mart
c) a killer
d) a firefighter

If you guessed c, you'd be correct! I'm pretty sure I'd better watch my back tomorrow. You should, too.

The Biggest Loser...& other randoms...

How about when the trainer said something about watching the show and eating ice cream? Definitely us. Oops.

Oh... and... DeAnna back on The Bachelor? What is up with that?! For sure this is going to be an amazing season!

And an update on the classroom: The little ones are behaving and doing well. One little snippet of a convo:

Kid: (shouting) Why I gotta be stuck with a bunch of crazy people?
Other Kid: Dude, ain't you know you one of 'em?
Me: (in my head) My sentiments exactly.

Oh little ones, you're fun.

are you watching?

The Bachelor is on!

I have been counting down the days! The cuz and I are doing a little play-by-play action together. We may be making fun of people. It's how we roll.

Anyone else out there obsessed with The Bachelor?

Confession...

I can't even believe I'm admitting to this, but I feel like I can't keep a lie and I totally want to make fun of myself (and the show...).

Okay, here goes... I've been watching "Paris Hilton: My New BFF"

Anyone out there addicted to reality t.v.? Especially television that doesn't make you think and is totally addicting, even though you want to make fun of it the whole time.

Hubby makes fun of me. But, he's the reason I got hooked! We were channel surfing one night and he jokingly said, "Paris Hilton! My New BFF! We have to watch it!" (In a totally joking voice that made him sound like a girl) We did. And now I'm hooked. I may or may not have watched all the previous episodes online.

Now? I have to keep watching to find out who wins. It's kind of like "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila". We were addicted to that over the summer. Lame, I know.

ANTM

Anyone else think "America's Next Top Model" is a little... um.... annoying this cycle?

First the random space-type theme with Tyra acting like a robot. I could almost let that slide. Now we have Tyra eating a poisonous apple and pretending she can't remember the make-overs? Then Jay sweeping in and being Prince Charming?

ANTM, stick to just being a model show.
