So I know I have not posted in a long time...I don't really have an excuse because I was on vacation except for my computer acting a little bit wonky at the moment that and well we went out alot a night..... But first for the major news
THE PET IS ENGAGED
She got engaged in EuroDisney of all places. Oh the irony of irony. I remember when I went to disney with her in California and had to practically wrestle her to the floor in order to wear the lovely embroidered mickey ears that we all had. Oh the memories. I will take the time to mention that she is DESERTING ME and moving across the pond But that is ok, I will just have to take yet another trip to Europe at some point.

Anyways, apparently a bunch of my students went over to Yaniv at the Blue Fringe concert and introduced themselves. For some reason I find that hilariously funny...but then again I am strange.

I got my ticket and hotel info for Washington and it's actually a really really nice hotel. I am going a day early and they are paying for the hotel that night. Whoo hoo! And thank you to oh-bridal-pet for not having your engagement party that day because I know that you would have been really annoyed if I didn't show up. I know you need someone to dig your claws into while you have that happy I am going to kill someone smile on your face. I think we all understand.

Got up late this morning because I was up late last night and I realize when I have to go back to work my sleeping pattern is going to be all messed up because I have been keeping such late hours...like now, I dont know why I am up, it is as though I am in hyperdrive its really really weird.
I didn't do much today (boring vacation I am) got up, did some apartment stuff muddled around, brought the pet lunch, visited a friend, went to the gym... I must be really motivated because I went to the east side today because only three NYSC were open today because of xmas sooo.. luckily the one I went to isnt far, it was 76th and 1st. I looked like a bit of a freak because I cant really put my hair up because of the new cut so I need to wear it in like these 5 year old pigtails. But I am glad I went because then I went out to dinner with the girls and people who think that girls cannot eat is sorely mistaken but it was great and we had a good time. We ended up making it over to Jake's on Amsdm and I did my usually doodling on everything I see there so if you go there and there is a postit with my signature tree on the wall....

Today was in fact an interesting day. I went this morning to get my hair done which I knew would take half the day but this time things did not go exactly as planned. My initial reaction was that I looked like a skunk because there is a big ole blonde streak in front but in fact my hair is now three different colors. It is dark brown, reddish brown, and blonde all mixed in. You have to see it to know what I am talking about. But the cut all in all is rather good.

What else happened...a good friend of mine totally made my day because he actually took me up on the offer and bought the pet a xmas tree, her reaction was priceless. hehehe

For those of you who care the Heedoosh thing downtown was good and you should all come next time. ....

So on my first day of vacation what do I do?
Of course I slept late, but then again I could not really fall asleep last night. I did laundry, I did errands, I did some cleaning, you know, fun stuff. I still have more cleaning to do being that I have guests coming over but right now I am sitting around watching an Alias DVD to catch up on the last season. Sad isn't it?

Whoo hoo, Pet bought snow patrol tickets! Though after the last concert I went to with the pet...hahaha I will just have to steal her phone.

Soooo, if anyone is free on Sunday night, the pet and I are going downtown to (Most of you have off on Monday so I don't want to hear anything about it being a school night!):

Happy Chanukah to all If this bloggy ends up a little funny its because my computer is acting a little bit weird when I go online. Not so happy.
Anyways, sorry I have been so quiet lately, not much has been going on. I have been busy at work. It was the last day before vacation today YAY vacation so the kids were BONKERS!Not anything shocking there.
One of my students won a contest so I am going with them to Washington for a few days in January to tour with some other contest winners from alabama and utah and the likes so that should be interesting.
Right now I am watching the movie L'Auberge Espagnole I remember I watched it before and it was interesting. I still like it but I can't figure outwhy.

Hello Friendlies!
I am in an oh-so overtired stage right now. You think any of the mass sleeping I did when I was sick would seep in but the thing is maybe I got too much sleep. I am spending the weekend at my parents so I will hibernate there.

Today at work we had fun, we had fun, we had great squiddy fun... I would insert the song but I don't know how to do that right now.

Still sneezing...but roaming around my apartment cleaning up and stuff. Nothing so eventful. I am trying to figurer out what else to do today.

So first of all I dont know if I should thank or curse the Joyous Martini for getting me addicted to all these online quizzums they are so much fun you get sucked in. I also have to give her some tribute because I was teaching invertebrates this week and will doing the squid next week. I don't think I would have enjoyed Dr.DS's Invertebrate Zoology as much as I did without her and I certainly wouldn't have had a giant squid song to teach them (we had a mealworm song last week!) So thanks my martini!
Anyways, laid low tonight, a good friend brought over some soup and stuff and endured some girly and not so girly tv and was a pretty good sport about it.

You Were Born Under:

Your most comfortable inside your head - and often daydream the day away. You have an artistic temperament that makes you seem creative to some, eccentric to others. You avoid conflict at all costs, and you have a difficult time with relationships. Attractive and with good manners, you tend to shine in social situations. You are most compatible with a Pig or Rabbit.

What Year Were You Born Under?

So this is supposed to be me....

SNEEZE!

Well, I really have nothing to report because all I did today was stay in bed and sleep. I still feel completely like crap which isn't fun so I don't know if I am up to going to work tomorrow again. I am one of those weird people who gets annoyed not to go to work because I hate leaving things to other people. It is all very annoying.

The pet is the best.
So it seems that I might have the influenza which is not fun because weird things happen to my throat like blisters and stuff and I am not all happiness. Though I am told I am muchly entertaining when I am not in a happy mood.
I also miss my best day of the week in terms of work where we are playing with mealworms. Do you know if you put a mealworm on a piece of paper and follow its trail with a pencil it makes a really cool drawing?

Someone needs to tell pets that oreos aren't dinner and she can bribe me with such things as:

I has come to my attention that there are people who have been reading this entire blog and have not commented once. Hello people you know who you are! I want feeback.

I forgot to mention that last night when I was working with my trainer, there was another trainer showing some guy around. So I happened to recognize the guy from the UWS and he obviously recognized me because the whole time he was STARING at me. No one should stare at people while they workout. It should be a rule. I am gross when I workout!

So I just took two different Muppet personality tests and on one test I ended up a Gonzo and the other test I ended up a Fozzie so what is this telling me? That I am a weird insecure muppet with an identity crisis? I tell bad jokes?
Here is one: Muppet Test
Here is another: Muppet Test

Yesterday I went to the gym and met with my trainer and ended up walking afterwards to Macy's and back (6 miles). It was cute that there was a Hassid outside Macy's with his three little daughters taking pictures in front of the holiday windows. Have I mentioned yet that I live the smell of the Christmas trees and have to inhale deeply every time I pass people selling them.

I ditched working out today for a meeting and dinner with friends. We went to a place on the East side close to work called Cafe U. It is a dairy place and I would totally recommend it to people because it was really good and the food was really pretty.

We worked with mealworms today in lab which involved a lot of squealing and shreiking on the part of the kids except one girl who was pretending to eat them.

I only got in a three mile walk today. I should have walked more since I didn't get anything in on Friday and Saturday. My roommates and I had all the best intentions to walk last night but ended up going shopping instead (Go figure, three girls...)

Today I ended up sleeping late and had to do work stuff. Then errands, because what is a sunday without having to do errands...

So Thursday night was busy because I ended up walking to Macy's and back and then going to Fairway and then on a fieldtrip to Supersol...and then I ended up cooking so needless to say I was tired.
Thursday morning I was being bribed with Coke Zeros...
Anyways, the weekend was nice, I got to spend a lot of time with friends. It was fun. Saturday night I went downtown to a party for a friend but we ended up leaving after 20 minutes (shocked we lasted that long) and wondered along. So this is a phone camera pic of M and I waiting happily for the train.

Before that though I had a really fun shopping trip with the roommates....
