sick day

Originally, I thought I might not make it to work today because of the gas crisis.  But Paul had plenty of gas so I took his truck.  Got there.  Got sick.  Turned right back around and came home.  I knew I was feeling like crap and should not have gone in to begin with, but I tried.  Good thing today’s and tomorrow’s plans are super easy — Baby G could teach my class today and tomorrow (finishing biome postcards today — translate: coloring; and taking an open note quiz tomorrow… I’m getting soft, I know).  So hopefully all will be well and in one piece when I return in the morning.  (Although the way my 5th period has been going, I wouldn’t be surprised if I show up and my entire trailer has gone missing or blown up in the parking lot.)

The weekend and my birthday were really fun!  Friday — Paul and I both caught up on some MUCH needed sleep.  Slept in on Saturday.  Finally we went and tailgated with some of our friends and their business fraternity and eventually went to Dan, one of Paul’s EMS buddies.  Overall a good day followed by a very sad football game.  Very depressing.  But Auburn’s win over Tennessee made me feel a little better  :)

Sunday, my birthday, we slept in again (seriously, I had no idea I was even capable of sleeping so much in one weekend) and went to a late brunch at Five and Ten (fancyish little restaurant here in Five Points).  We both ate well and really like what we had.  Paul always likes to surprise me somehow on my birthdays or on our anniversaries, so he dropped me off at Borders so he could go pick up my “hidden” present and said we had to be ready to go at 3pm… which really confused me because I thought my surprise was already the really nice brunch and present.  Oh no, I was wrong… he definitely fulfilled my two-year long desire to go to the new Medieval Times in Lawrenceville, haha!  It was great  :)  Paul had never been before and for whatever reason I had just really wanted to go so bad because it’s basically the most insane thing ever created.  The cast gets SO into it, it’s hilarious and I love it.  It was an interesting experience… but we left feeling a lot like Paul had gotten ripped off big time.  And to top it off, my surprise present was Rock Band with the Rock Band 2 game for the XBox.  (I’ve really been wanting a game that I can actually play — I am just not really into Halo and I really really suck at it.)  SO MUCH FUN!  (I’ve played Rock Band a few times before, loved it and I think Rock Band 2 is way better and definitely worth the upgrade if you’re thinking about it.)

I think I’ve finally talked to almost all of my good friends either in person or on the phone now about our big exciting news .  Almost all were really great and excited reactions except for maybe one or two… I could kinda sense the real reaction on the other side of the phone along with some judgment and definitely some doubt haha.  But I think Britt Britt’s reaction was hands down my favorite.  Unforgettable!  If only I’d had thought to record it… so much excited screaming.  I love it.  

It’s time for this girl to get some lunch going on and maybe eventually some Rock Band 2.  The sick part is not fun but sick days are the best.  :)
