so strange

I don't know why I have shades on.

I'm lying.



I said, "I'm going to be a diva a wear shades ALL day, starting riiiiiiiiight now"

That was at 930am, in bed.

Got over that real quick.

That's all! back to a regularly scheduled day of NOTHING!

Turkish Fest!!

Aww yeah! You know we love us a fest!

So Friday night, I'm driving down 95 south when I see flashing... lights... flashing... lights (sung like the kanye song... love it!) Apparently, Turkish Fest is this weekend! So there!

Saturday morning, we get up and eat crossaints. I have to have my crossaints. I start to do Drew's laundry and I realize how much doesn't get done if I don't do it. My new philosophy on life BTW. Anyway, I'm sorting and drying and folding and hanging and before you know it, I realize its 11am and I didn't tell Drew about the fest! He gets sooooooooo excited and looks up the pertinent info. It happens to be in the same area where the LasOlas Art Fest was and it ends at 6pm. We are soooo there! before we leave, we try and figure out what Turkish fest would be like. Should we make shirts that say, "I *heart* Turkeys'? Would we be foolish to go up in there and ask, "Where all the Turkeys at?!" What exactly are Turks? Are they Middle Eastern? No cause Turkey is in Europe. What do they speak and there's going to be food there but what kind of food? Come to find out, they are Baltic and are a mix of Russian and Mid East. There was hummus and gyros, but the music had the accordion sound of Russia and the traditional dance/rs looked more 'Russian' than 'belly dancer'.

Anyhoo, we watched a marbling art technique that was awesome,



heard the from the DJs of the only Turkish radio station in South Florida (who knew they were that deep?) and Drew got accosted several times. I SWEAR this boy can pass for anything!! he looks hispanic, he looks, white, he looks black, he looks Arab, he passes for every fest we go to! Bet. Japanese Fest won't be so fun for you Drew...



and i want a relaxer. just thought i'd throw that in.

the pic

i got it today. My RH ring was waiting for me. I haven't gotten my nails done to properly showcase the ring and i am too tired from all the v-day hoopla at school. speaking of which, i got FIVE mylar balloons!! who doesn't love getting balloons!??! too much candy and some cute cards. So I make less than 26K (after taxes) a year, the intrinsic value of being a teacher is worth more than ANYTHING in the world :-)

Toilet Tales

In case you don't know, I teach kindergarten. Right now, the babes haven't been conditioned to think that elimination of any sort is gross to speak about. With that said...


Last week on the carpet, Jaquan lets one out from the tootah. My students are unaffected and even go as far as to tell me, "everybody does it, you should hear my sister's fart."

Today in lunch, "Ms. Kutieboots, I can't drink my juice and my milk cause I'll pee in the bed"

Yesterday at dismissal, "hurry up Enrique! Its time to go!" from the bathroom, a little Mexican voice, "I ceeeeeen't! there's so much poo! I have so much pooooooooo Ms. Kutieboots!"


I love the honesty. I think its so cute
