Nothin' much

I am watching a commercial for some car right now and it shows all these people making a giant Slip n' Slide on a city street. It looks like a ton of fun. But I bet in reality, crash landing on asphalt covered with a wet tarp is not very fun. We had the poor man's Slip n' Slide when I was a kid--the Wet Banana. The hose attachment even looked like a banana. I remember it being fun but if, for example, you stood up too quickly on the yellow tarp, your feet would go out from under you and you would about break your tailbone on the ground.

Today at school, I am almost 100% certain that a kid was flipping me off while I was explaining the assignment. He was resting his hand on his face but only his middle finger was pointing out of his fist, if that makes sense. I just checked through several pages on Google Images for an explanatory picture but nothing came up that would work. This kid is definitely not a member of my fan club and to be honest, I'm not a member of his either. I didn't say anything because I was really just so stunned that someone would have the balls to do that to a teacher. I am not some newbie teacher either; this is my 11th year teaching and I have had a lot of rude kids. I don't know why it surprised me so much. But, oh well, I got the last laugh because I took up his iPod Touch about 5 minutes after the bird flipping incident. He was messing around with something in his hoodie pocket and he is NOT good at being sneaky. I can always tell when he's planning/doing something because he attempts to look furtively at me. Idiot.

After school, I had to go to CVS to get a prescription filled and let me just say, I HATE that CVS. I love to browse around drugstores but the people who work at this particular store are either complete morons or they don't care. I gave my prescription to the pharmacist and told her I would wait for it. She said it would be about 10 minutes which was fine with me because I was planning to look around. Well, I looked at every piece of merchandise in that store, including every Hallmark card, before I finally went and sat down in the back. This other pharmacist looked at me and asked if I was waiting for something. NO. I got tired and needed to rest before I did some more shopping. JEEZ. I figured they would call my name over the intercom when the prescription was ready like they do at every other drugstore in the universe. I was the ONLY person in the store besides a woman in a Burberry shawl who was filling her basket with a lot of hair products. Stupid snobby CVS with dumb employees. I hate you all! But I did buy Maggie a pair of fake hot pink Crocs because she needed them. Ooooh, she was excited when I showed them to her. They are too big, unfortunately ,but maybe her feet will one day grow. She has worn the same size shoe since last summer.

A little newspaper reading while dinner cooks.

New shoe.  Woo hoo.

They match my hairbow that doesn't match my shirt.

Cutie.

It's supposed to be almost 80 tomorrow and you know what that means!  Maggie gets to wear some of her new summer clothes!  Yay!  Then next week the lows are in the 30's.  UGH.  Sick of cold weather.  

I was completely lame today during class and told 2 of my fashion maven students that I needed some fashion advice.  They looked more attentive than I have ever seen them look in the entire year I've been teaching them.  I have a couple of navy and white trapeze (I think that's what they're called) tops and I have no idea what kind of shoes to wear with them.  Black shoes with navy clothing reminds me of marching band and NO.  I do not need to remember that.  My other options in my closet?  Pink Lands' End Crocs (I don't think so), black Reefs (there's the black thing again), Keds (NO WAY.  I need to purge those dorky things), brown wedge sandal things (they kind of hurt my feet and I don't know about brown) and a lot of other black shoes.  Or ancient Timberland "hiking" boots.    They suggested navy flats, which was what I was leaning towards.  They nixed white shoes, not that I would buy white shoes anyway.  So, if you see any navy flats online, please send the link on!  I don't care what kind they are but do not be recommending any Cole-Haan shoes or the like because I'm not buying shoes that are that expensive.  They just get all beat up at school.  And also, I am poor.

I think that is quite enough updating for now.  I need some 60 calorie mochaccino pudding and a bottle of water.  Yum.
