Knights Inn

In Cedar City, we stayed at the Knight's Inn. I never saw a Knight the whole time I was there. That is false advertising if you ask me! :) Anjai and I were hoping that we would find our Knights in shining armor here and then we could take them to Vegas to get married. I guess that is not going to happen thanks to the lack of Knights at the Knights Inn! We will now journey to Vegas! Yipee!

Birthday Festivities.

After the dancing, we came back to the hotel and celebrated Josh's birthday. We sung horribly, a Bills tradition, and ate cake.

The hotel we are staying in gave us that handy key. I keep telling Anjai that I hope we do not lose the sticky note attached to the key or we will be in trouble; we will have no idea what room number we are in! Funny! Don't forget to read the previous blog for more about our Cedar City adventures.

Greetings from Cedar City, Utah

Hi all!

Spring is officially here because we had our first softball game last night. We lost 10-2. I really do not care about the score, I just like to play. Today we had practice and it was SO nice outside. Warm, warm, warm!!! The sun makes me really, really happy!

Tonight I am in Cedar City, Utah. I just watched my little sister(yes, I do have a little sister, she is just from another mother!) in a ballroom dance recital. It was awesome. Man, those young ones sure grow up fast! It kinda makes me feel old. Another thing that makes feel old is my body. Playing softball two days in a row has made it hurt. Old.

I like Spring Break. I really do feel sorry for all those people who have to work this week. Suckers....just kidding. Tomorrow we will head to Vegas. We being my friend, Anjai and I. Anjai has never been to Vegas so I am going to show her all the excitement. I do not think there is all too much that two Mormon girls can do there but we will try! :)

Enjoy the spring-like weather, unless of course you are at the North Pole. Then just enjoy the normal weather.

Until later!

Pause!

Again, not much going on today. I did bake some amazing pumpkin chocolate chip cookies tonight. I also worked today and had a pretty great time in Health. I wish all days could be stellar, but then, wouldn't stellar be the norm?

I love my DVR. So much in fact, that sometimes I am watching live TV and actually try to fast forward the commercials. The funny thing about that is that my TV pretty much tells me I am an idiot by flashing a sign each time I touch the FF button that says: "Live TV." It should really say: "Hello Stupid, you are watching American Idol...it is better live so why would you even think you could fast forward the commercials?"

Anyway, I told my students about my love of the DVR and that I was going to start bringing my remote in so I could get them to quiet down. The funniest thing about this is that when I do point a remote at them and say "Pause" they actually quit talking. Who knows if this will work forever but I am totally going to milk this for as long as it does work. One of the kids was very funny. I kept pausing and unpausing him and he would stop mid sentence and then start where he left off. My favorite was when I fast forwarded him and he spoke amazingly fast. It was so fun.

Well, that is it for now. Only two more days of school before it is Spring Break, Yipee!

P.S. I did not bring my special DVR remote because I was afraid I would leave it there and that would be a sad day. Why would you actually get up and change the channel...that is just silly!

Ship 'em away!

I really have nothing today. It was cold and snowed today. I had no motivation to grade the huge amounts of papers I need to grade. I got the oil in my car changed. I told people a million times that there are only 4 days until spring break.

A funny moment from Health class today:

Alice: "So, who pays for the jails?"

Class: "The government? Your mom?."

Alice: "Who gives the government their money?"

Class: "I don't know, Jay-Z."

Alice: "The government's funding comes from taxes, so who pays for jails?"

Class: "The government? 50 Cent? Your Mom?"

Alice: "Citizens pay taxes, so in a way we all pay for jails."

Class: "That is gay. We should just ship them(criminals) to Cuba."

Alice: "Did you guys know that the English used to ship all their criminals away to Australia?"

Class: "They did, that is crazy. So really all the people in Australia are criminals?"

Alice: "Well, not exactly. Some may be but they weren't sent there. Most Australians probably have ancestors who were criminals."

Class: "That is so wack."

They then went on a five minute tangent about who knows what. I think it had nothing to do with violence and the cost to society. SIGH!
