teacher's lounge lunch

We talk about food soo much in our teacher's lounge every day. Just today we talked about my pizza slice for a good 15 minutes.
They asked me where i got my pizza, then i didn't know the name of it so i told them about where it was, then someone figured it out, then someone talked about how they were afraid to go in their because it looked dirty, then we talked about whether we take it to go or if we eat there, then we talked about the owner, then how long they have been open, then went back and talked about how you get there, then if we could possibly get it catered, one teacher said that she thinks that is where she'll be getting her dinner this week, then it went to what type of pizza i had. i had a gyro pizza so we talked about lamb meat, then we talked about the spinach sausage pizza that place had. then we tried to find a day that maybe we could get it delivered to the school or someone could get their class watched and then go get the pizza themselves. then we talked about how slow the service is sometimes since there's only one guy who does the serving, the register, AND he cooks the pizzas in the back. he's a buzy little guy. then we actually talked about the crust at this place because someone had just told a story about a pizza with really hard crust and how they didn't take any money off for it.

We talk about food everyday like this. the questions where did you get your food always starts it. if someone made it we talk about how they made it and what is the recipe and if someone makes something similar they say how they do it. then if it's just a lean cuisine or a frozen thing we even talk about which meals are good and what they put in them and how long we heated it up. then if it's from a restaurant we talk about where the restaurant is, what the food was like, whether other people have been there, who'd you go with.

everyone eats, and i guess it is something we all have in common. if in doubt, talk about food!

could you do me a favor?

I don't take credit for thinking of this first because I heard it on tv, but i thought it was interesting.

Did you ever notice that you can tell what kind of favor someone wants by the length of the pause after you say it. short pause means a no big deal favor. long pause means a favor you might not want to do. For example, "Could you do me a favor and hand me that pencil." Practically no pause, not a big deal. And if you said, "Could you do me a favor? ....." And then you just wait and pause long enough and see if they will accept the favor before you even say it.

if you met a rock that was alive, what would you do?

I have a girl in my class, whom actually had an entire blog just of her own in the past. She comes in and tells me during snack time, "I just LOVE rocks so much. You know what I would do if I met a rock that was alive?! I would ask for its autograph!!" Then she proceeds to tell me the conversation she would have with the rock. It was just too funny; she is dead serious about her rocks. (I get rock gifts a lot.) I wish everyone could have been there.

senior year '08

So this past weekend Missy and I realized that we ("we" as in fellow '05 college grads) are in our senior year of adulthood. Senior year of adulthood. That means we must be getting really good at being adults?!

So maybe we should have a graduation and pass out diplomas of adulthood in the spring. maybe some open houses with punch and cookies.

What's after that? well, i'm sure we'll figure it out.

you have to watch my funny little nephew

Go to my sister's website and watch the "eating cereal" video. You must watch, it's not just adorable it's downright funny.

star on my zipper

I love the little things about clothes. The smallest details that no one would ever notice. I put on my new jeans the other day. I wear them all of the time now. I held the little zipper to zip them up and I noticed there was a star cut out of the little zipper. It was so cute. A cut out star on my zipper. I loved it. I loved my jeans before now that it has a star on the zipper i love them even more.

I don't remember what pair of shoes i loved so much when I was little. But I remember that one day I looked on the bottom of my shoes and there was an awesome design on the bottom. It was like the bottom of my shoe could be a paint stamp.

Clothes are fun when you find secret things weeks after buying them.

don't you just love randomness?

Our moment in Chicago was beyond random and Sunday. So I get to see Missy on Saturday after the Ohio State game in Chicago. Of course what did we do all night? Dance in our friend's apartment, duh! That's what girls do in apartments, dance! Saturday was fun.

Then on Sunday morning Missy wakes me up while I was sleeping on the couch a little before 8 am and says, "I've got your whole day already planned for you!" I said, "Good." I was glad, but I probably didn't sound so thrilled that early in the morning.

Once we were ready we started on my day's plans. We picked up Angie from the Midway airport. She hopped in and it was a nostalgic moment for sure. It was weird to have three Nashvillians all of a sudden in one car in Chicago. I dropped them off at the Bears game. Turned around and headed to H & M. The moment was fleating but fun.
