Mr. S. had his birthday celebration Friday night. We went to a Japanese steakhouse and it was so much fun! The food was delicious and our cook was funny. Then we went out to this country bar that is always a good time. Our friend was driving so both Mr. S. and I could have fun. I had a little too much fun though. Ugh. Yesterday was spent recovering. I forgot my camera, too...sad face.

Recovery day was spent getting pedicures with the girls, which was tons of fun. Minus the woman that was doing mine. She had the NERVE to comment on the calus on my foot! I am so sorry woman who is just scrubbing my feet...I worked out for a total of probably 30 hours last weekend for my training. Grrrr...and my feet hurt! And have a calus from my tennis shoes. Please don't make comments about my feet. I should have been honest when she was talking about wanting to dye her hair metallic silver. She is in her 50s...and her personality did not scream "metallic silver". Just sayin'. 

Then the ladies and I went to Olive Garden for lunch. Really, I just wanted the carbs to settle the drinks from the night before. I came home and did NOTHING yesterday. I laid on the couch in my pjs. Perfect.

Today is Mr. S.'s real birthday. I need to head up to the store and get cake ingredients and breakfast. Our friends are cooking dinner tonight and Mr. S and I have tomorrow off from work. Yay!

Wow, I haven't updated since Monday. It has been one of those weeks. The basketball team at the school I work at went to state, so it was super crazy at work. They lost yesterday which means they are playing today for 3rd. Good luck!

I have had no time to go over my Body Jam tracks. Well, scratch that. I have done them in my car, I guess. I need to go through them today though. I think that I am meeting up with some of the other girls to practice today. I really need to get on it so that I am not super behind. It has just been a lot to take on right now, but I still really want to be a part of it. Goodness.

Mr. S.'s birthday is this weekend. He wants to be surprised for his birthday, so he has no idea what we are doing. His bday is actually on Sunday, but for everyone to celebrate, we are doing everything tonight. My friend and I made arrangements at a Japanese steakhouse and then we are going to this really fun country bar after that. I think that he will be happy if everyone I invited shows up. I will be! So I am hoping they all come.

I am going to enjoy the rest of my spring break...I do need to get some cleaning done, but I also plan to spend some time here on the couch lounging!

The birthday party went great! I will post a pic of the ugly sweaters soon. Mr. S. took me to dinner on Friday night and then on Saturday I spent most of the day at the salon. I got highlights, a haircut, and a pedicure. Then as a surprise, my roomie had left a card with a blank check in it so that she could take care of my day of pampering! Wow!! I am totally surprised and caught totally off guard. It was a very cool gift!

Yesterday was a crummy day at work. Wrote a pink slip by 8:50am, student spent all the way until 12:00 finishing one assignment in the office, almost wrote the same student another slip by 12:20, he sat out in the hall for the rest of the day to complete another assignment, had a parent meeting at 3, called a parent at 3:20, and got cramps. Yep, completely crummy day. Today MUST be better.

At least The Bachelor made my day a little better. I do *heart* that show. I think he totally loves Melissa. They have great body language and are very cute together. I still really like Jillian and I have since the show started. We'll see!

Ok, I must get ready for work. I am so sleepy and my ovaries are screaming (cramps). Ouch!

Tomorrow I turn the big 2-5. Yep. It's true. I can't hold it off any longer. Fun stuff though, my hubby sent me flowers at work yesterday. I was SO excited! I have always wanted flowers at work. My students asked who they were from...and I wanted SO bad to be sarcastic, but I didn't do it...so I said my husband and they thought that was so sweet. Funny kids.

Truman has been part of a countdown this week. He is heading to the doggy weekend sitter so I can get some R&R this weekend. We have not done the countown as T minus 4 days as you usually see. We have done it has minus T in 4 days. Get it...for Truman?? Anyway...don't judge my ridiculous humor! Haha! He is heading there tonight. I get to sleep in tomorrow morning and Sunday morning. I am pretty sure I am more excited about this than anyone can understand.

Ugly Sweater Party tomorrow! My friends throw it every year for my birthday. I have to find a sweater today though. I have nothing yet. I want something hideous this year. I will post some pics of the ugly sweaters.

My students are throwing me a "surprise" party today. "Surprise" is used loosely due to the fact that third graders cannot keep a secret. Too funny! I thought I might cry when I found out they were doing this. How cute are they?!
