Yummy Yummy in my Tummy

E spent the night last night, so we got up early to look for yardsales. There didn't end up being many yardsales, so we headed out to the grocery store to get food for dinner. On the menu:

HUGE crab cakes
home-made potato salad
coleslaw
fresh green beans
home-made banana pudding
fresh blueberries

YAY!

Hot for teacher!

Another teacher just stopped by to let me know that the boys in her 10th grade government class were discussing the "hot" teachers in school... and I made the list! Woo-hooooo! I've finally made it folks... the horny, pimply, 15-year-olds I teach are in love with me! What a life :-P

Jungleland

tonight in jungleland...

So as of last night, the "jungle" (as E calls it) resumed its place on my balcony. I finished the last of the planting, which included a hybrid cucumber plant. I'm super excited! Apparently it can grow in a container because its vines only get to be about 2 feet long. Double the excitement because that means I have to use my iron trellis! Woo-hoo! I'll add pictures tonight when I get home... it was too dark by the time I finished last night for a photo-shoot.

Worst Movie Ever.

There are only two movies that I can say that I've ever walked out on. The first was The Thin Red Line. I was on a date years ago, and we hated it. So we walked out. The second was I am Legend. B and I were watching it together. In fact, he's still in the other room watching it on HBO. It was so stressful and depressing to me that I walked out, and here I am hiding in the other room watching a re-run of 90210 and blogging. Dang.

Memorial Day Weekend

Nothing much that's blog-worthy... I've been having a great weekend with B and friends. Friday night I watched "The Other Boleyn Sister" with the girls. Great story--I recommend the movie. B and I have gone on walks and bike rides. We cooked some pulled pork bbq and made potato salad for friends yesterday (both of which rocked). Today is the last day of bliss. I'm hoping to enjoy it, though I know I've got some major work to do for school. I hate working on weekends!

Hair Cut!

I FINALLY got my hair cut... and I love it. Ta-Da! :)
