31 years. What a milestone! If you sensed the sarcasm there, they you truly are my friend.
The birthday was a bash to remember. Funny how birthdays seem less exciting the older you get. The pictures are from Red Robin. Man, I do love that place. It tastes good even on my birthday! My friends are awesome. They even bought me presents, which I never expect, but am always pleasantly pleased with. I made the jackpot as always. Not the Powerball winner like I would love to win; the prize is at 267 Million this week, but it will do!
I also was able to go to lunch with the librarian and walk a mile for The Red Cross. It was a busy and eventful day.
Sunday and today were less eventful. Today, I had a sub and only one of the classes was naughty. That is pretty good odds seeing there were 7 classes to deal with. The naughty kids will be re-taking their test on Wednesday, when I get back, unlike the good Health class, who will be able to have some time for relaxation. I like that idea.
The conference I am attending was great as always. I learn a lot of stuff about how to better teach language learners.
I guess I can tell you all about my trip to Iowa now, seeing my mother found out via my brother. Stinking brother! I am going to Iowa to visit my brother for his birthday. There may be some other motives for the trip...but I won't get into them. Pretty much I am treating most people like the paparazzi these days. You will have to wait for Star Magazine to get the real scoop, I guess. I will leave on Friday and return on Tuesday. Good times. I will have a sub for 6 of the next ten days. Kinda gonna be crazy in my classroom, but I really don't care. They will survive!
Well, that is it for today. I should be sleeping. (Seems like a common theme in this blog!)
