and they did it.

I am thinking since people have worn out the 'That's what she said.' phrase it is time for a new one.

"but the Saints won the super bowl."

As in...
"The shuttle didn't launch last night but the Saints won the super bowl."

"I asked her to marry me and she threw the ring back in my face but the Saints won the super bowl."


"I might have sold that A-Rod rookie card for $7.00 but the Saints won the super bowl."


"They just ran out of the special but the Saints won the super bowl."


"UNC might not make it to the Final four but the Saints won the super bowl."

"I dropped my cell phone in the street but the Saints won the super bowl."


"Our dog died but the Saints won the super bowl."


I had one of those kind of weeks where my feet just take me on to the next step.  I hope this ride slows down, or IMMA BE in big trouble soon.  Yes - But the Saints won the super bowl!

the fill-ins

I copied this from Sam at Simply Sam

1. If I weren't a teacher I'd love to be a publisher .  
2. When I'm super upset I complain and scowl .

4. If I found a $100 in the pocket of last winter's coat I'd spend it on pocket it so I could make it to the end of the month .

6. I love the way I feel after I have all passing grades on student's tests (it has happened twice) .  
7. I love my hair most when it's not hanging in my face .

it feels good to be a gangster

I saw snow today for the third time this winter - I don't remember the last time this happened in the 'Sip


My freshman year roommate - the lovely Katy L. Jefferson is a blonde shag wearing size of a toothpick girl who was just as goofy as myself.  She told me once she wanted this song to play every time she walked into a room.  I miss her so much.




On to last night's escapades. I was a player, as Liz called me. It was priceless, There was flirting, there was hand holding there was 'kneesing". For the first time ever I was hit on before the BFF. The classic moment was when the dance partner from last week came in and broke up the closeness. I know I turned three shades of red. Then an hour and half later when I was told by Kareem, 'don't get all shy about it'. I call it practically monumental.  Although I think my friends are making a bigger deal out of boy with the red truck than what is actually happening. He'll be at the Superbowl though so its all a question of whether or not we have a run in over the week. Can I mention that 'boy toy' already sent me a text?

Does it make me a social reject if I have had more make attention in one month than I did all of last year?

My mom is better. She is up, she is moving a 20 foot path and she is not in near as much pain. The doctor visit to get the bandages off her leg is Monday and I am hoping for the best.

And now I am about to go spend the day with my Grandma and enjoy it.

I must say my mood is much improved! What has put you in a good mood for the weekend?

where is the warning...

I am in foul mood - I have beef with about everyone I've come in contact with today.

I really wish I could just tell someone off and make things better, but I will be nice and bite my tongue as it will help no one if I say something in the moment.

*grumble, grumble, work, grumble grumble, dad, grumble, grumble, brother, grumble, grumble*

Marshmallows

I bite my tongue at the subject of my brother right now as I know it is always a case of if you cannot say anything nice, do not say anything at all.  And if I type it out and put it for all the world to see, it is something that cannot be taken back.

Thursday was one of those mediocre days that you know existed, but you remember nothing specific.  I do know that everything I did worked at an hour behind its normal completion time which quite abnormal for moi.  Friday was a different story it was one of those days where everything I did was timed perfectly.  I got everything I could imagined accomplished with to much of a stress.  Even schoolwork wise my class got it all done, which is usually a rarity.  Best news was that on the reading test - everyone passed.  Lowest score was a 72.  Epic accomplishment in my life.

Thursday night was the opportunity I took to confess my match secret to core friends.  Ones who I knew would not judge or ask for an explanation.  Which leads us into the blind date.

I think for a blind date it went extremely well.  He was very very normal.  Not the coolest, but not social reject.  Besides he was nervous, very very nervous - more outwardly nervous than I can ever remember being.  In the car I gave my self pep talk and took as smooth as possible.  Now on the point of a real date:  Am I interested in finding out more about him, nope.  Did I find myself attracted to him, not in the least (no pull at all for even the simplest kiss).  Did he give me any hints that he was interested, not at all.  Do I think I'll go out with him again, if I do it'd be a shock.  But I did it - I had a date.  

On the flip side the boy with the smile that made me melt like an 11 year old with her new issue of Teen Bop with a Jonas Brothers expose has fallen silent.  Perhaps it is for the best, as he might have been too pretty a match for me.

Afterwards I went out with the BFF and another female friend and enjoyed the girl talk.  Later as the boys all peeled off from their newspaper jobs, I danced with a sexy example of a man.  If given the opportunity to express this thought at another time, I will.

On a more important  personal note.  I've gotten an eye infection, surely somehow relates to my K's.  No contacts all week and eye drops every six hours - grumbles about the glasses.

Now looking forward to Monday.  It is yet another four day week for me as My mom is set for some surgery on Tuesday.  Which needs to be included with a mention that my grandmother is here for two weeks.  It shall be an interesting time.

To all my blogger friends, positive thoughts for a new week.
