I'm a Rich Girl!

I got paid today-and it was so nice to look at my account too! If only it would stay like that! It should be gone by, oh.............Friday! Only kidding, maybe only 1/2 of it will be gone, the rest will be gone by the next Friday! :) Well, today is Friday and unlike the rest of the working world, I have a 2 day weekend. I have to go back on Monday, off Tuesday and back on Wednesday. Stinks! But, hey it's Friday so I'll live with that right now. In a few minutes, I'll be heading out to meet a friend for dinner and then drinks at a new tavern near my house in a cute neighborhood. I'm excited as I haven't been there before-well, I take that back, it used to be a Yoga studio and I went one time with Caroline but now it's a bar. I'll let you know how it is, and I'll have some for you! The babysitting went well, I didn't have to call his parents, hehe, or put him to bed early. I think he stayed up and watched TV for a while-I went to bed. Oh and Peanut actually let him pet her without putting her tail under and running away! I was so impressed! She still barked at him but it's progress. She'll be getting shots tomorrow and then I'll be getting my hair done, a manicure and a pedicure, and my eyebrows done. I am sooo excited! It's my spa day! Also planning on going to look for a couch too sometime this weekend. You know I do have $$$ burning a whole in my account so I really should put it to good use. Not sure when I'll go, but that's what I am hoping to do. Ok I gotta take Peanut out and I'm getting thirsty! Have a great Friday and weekend!

Busy Week!

I know I have stepped away from the blog world, but only briefly! I have been crazy busy with teaching again...I take that back, I have been EXHAUSTED from teaching the little ones. I have hit the gym twice this week and the dog park nearly every day-I'm feeling guilty for leaving my girl alone for such a long day again...here's a cute picture of her in bed-her favorite place. I have been wishing that we could stay in bed longer instead of getting up so early for work.


Anyway, I am going to "Babysit" by 17 year old brother tonight. I know what you are thinking, "Why does a 17 year old need a babysitter?" Well, my parents are taking Pat to Orientation for college and need someone to be Tim's guardian for the night. So I'll be heading up to Clearwater to pick him up in a little bit and bring him back to my house for the night. I think we will go get some dinner somewhere and maybe pick up a movie to watch.
Only one more day left this week of teaching and it's pay day too! I can't wait! I think I'll treat myself to a manicure and pedicure this weekend. Also planning on taking Peanut to the Vet for some shots.

2 down...

and 19 more to go! That is days that I have to work. I actually like the kids and the job. It's pretty easy...No stress of a Principal, the parents or any paperwork. But I know that will all change soon enough. So I went to Salsa lessons on Thursday night! I have NO, I repeat, NO rhythm but I went anyway and had a blast...so I think I'll go again. Also spent Friday afternoon at the beach with the girls from work. Didn't stay too long, as we are going back to the beach again today and will be spending more time there today. I need to scrap a bunch of pictures and should have gone to the Hilltop memories crop today but, I just am not up for it yet. Maybe next month I'll be excited about scrapping again. Anyway, getting ready for the beach. I hope you have a great Saturday!

Last Day of Summer Vacation!

Boohoo! I am very sad to say that, but it is time. This is my last day of summer vacation. Tomorrow I start teaching VPK until the end of July. I am a little excited to be busy and for the money, but the days are lonnngggg!!!! So today I am off to the beach with Diane, and the girls. I'm glad I didn't get burnt from yesterday's pool party! Need to go get ready so have a great day! PS-Big Brother is on tonight! Will you be watching??

Goodbye to Laura

Today was a pool party at Kip's house. Laura is moving back to Alabama to be closer to her family so we had one last party before she left. It was in her honor. Lots of food, and decorations and of course some goodbye gifts. Here's a picture that I borrowed from Kip's blog as she had her camera ready of course. (Thanks Kip!)You might be wondering what we are all looking at...well a few minutes earlier, a balloon came untied and flew away so we were all saying that it was Laura leaving us for better things. I will surely miss Laura as she always knew what to say to make me laugh or smile.

It was a fun day to be with all the girls and catch up! I look forward to the next pool party! Thanks Kip for being such a great hostess! You Rock!
Hope you all had a great day!

Father's Day Lobster

For Father's Day, Bill wanted lobster, and he wanted Pat and Tim and I to cook it. We were up for the challenge! So, on Friday, I was out shopping for Angie's first birthday present at Target and what do I see in the $ spot? Lobster everything! Plates, candles, placemats, platters, serving bowls, bibs, aprons, chef hats, pails (for the shells), and so much more. So I of course called my mom and told her of my find. Nearly $40 later, I was ready for the party. Wasn't really sure who was buying the lobster, but I figured after finding all the lobster stuff, I got out of that job.

So Sunday comes and I make my way up to Clearwater. Tim, my mom and I head out to get the lobster. I wasn't to excited about having to stick a poor, helpless lobster into boiling water. So I checked online and it said to freeze the lobster for about 10 minutes first to numb it. So I tell my mom this and she tells the man at the store-he laughed! He told me that they enjoy going to the "Spa" (Not too funny if you ask me!) I still was very leary about it and was hoping that none of them made any shreiking noises (I heard they do this) as I "plunge them head first into the boiling water" (That's what the directions said.) So we get home and the pots are already boiling. My brothers and I get our aprons, and chef hats and my mom gets the camera
(I think I need to teach her how to scrap all the photos she takes-she tells me that's my job, and that she has plenty of them for me) and we each take turns putting a lobster in a pot. I did NOT go first! No sounds yet, so I try it, I reach for a lobster out of the bag and it starts moving, so I decide to leave him and reach into the other bag.

And very gently, I "plunge his/her head first into the boiling water" but make sure tell it sorry while doing so. Then in goes the rest of the body, very gently-as if a slow death is better than a fast one, but at least I cared right? And not a sound was heard for any of them. I was secretly hoping that they would be dead before we made it home. I even asked the guy how long can they live out of water. He just kepy laughing at me. Well, it wasn't too bad, but I may not do it again real soon. You never know when they will shriek!

Here it is!

I have officially entered the blogging world. I thought I'd wait until the Fall, but hey, what else am I doing...Nothing! So here it is! Like the title of it? I think it fits me! I'm not really sure what I'm doing though! I can't figure out how to post a picture. I'll keep trying!
