It’s been three days since my last post
Apr 25, 2007 A day in our life
So where the heck have I been? Giving myself an ulcer. Yes, I had yet another speech tonight. Enough with the speeches people.
Let’s recap today.
This morning I went on a field trip with Spencer. THE field trip where the teachers decided to send Spencer’s class on one day and Skyler’s class on a different day.
I don’t think Spencer’s teacher likes me. How do I know? Because she always pairs me with the annoying kids. I got out of bed before 8am [that's twice in one week...I must really love Spencer 
]. I didn’t sleep that well last night probably because I was having mini strokes over this stupid speech. So I was cranky. And I was in charge of Spencer and this other little boy who has WAY to much energy. He kept running all over the science station and yelling. I was so wishing for a shot of vodka.
Then we watched a movie about the deep sea at the IMAX. I am not a huge fan of the IMAX theater. The IMAX in the Museum of Natural History in NYC is just a very large screen, which isn’t too bad. Our IMAX theater is a huge doom with the screen all around you. And with a movie about the deep sea I was getting a little sea sick. At least Johnny Depp was narrating so I just closed my eyes and pretending like he was personally chatting with me. Of course, the fact that he was talking about predators in the sea was a little odd in my fantasy, but I’ll take what I can get.
Shortly before the movie ended Lee called me. My phone was on vibrate so it didn’t interrupt the movie or anything, but I was thinking Dude, why are you calling me when you know I’m at a movie? After I got in my car to head home I gave him a call. Apparently he was at Menards and had lost Caleb. By the time I called he had found him again, but it was scary there for a while. Lee said he was on the verge of tears and he never cries unless it’s a really sappy movie or our wedding.
And then I ended the day with my speech. I was really on edge all day because that’s how I am when I’m only hours from possibly humiliating myself in front of hundreds forty to fifty people. But by the time I got to school I was actually fairly relaxed. The team I have for this class is awesome. They really are a great bunch of young adults. I might be a little biased, but I think we had the best presentation out of the four groups who went tonight. We were presenting our marketing strategy for the Chevy Volt, which is an electric concept car Chevrolet is working on. We presented, not only to our class of forty students and our teacher, but also to a panel of eight marketing “experts.” The “experts” asked each team a bunch of questions following the presentations and they were pretty easy on us, even complimenting our ad copy and presentation style. So I feel good about it.
On my way home I almost stopped at Dairy Queen for some comfort food. But instead I decided to just get home to watch my Tivoed American Idol and Lost. [Because I am so not participating in that whole "no TV for the week" campaign. You all are crazy. We're getting to the end of the season. You're missing some of the best episodes of Lost, Grey's Anatomy and Brothers and Sisters. Ya'll are crazy. I say that in the most loving way. ] So anyway, back to Diary Queen. I didn’t stop, but when I got home I discovered that Lee had gone to Dairy Queen and got me a Blizzard because he figured I’d want some comfort food. That’s why I love this man so.
Somebody else I love is Mrs. Flinger. Leslie is so good to me. She nominated my little blog for a Bloggers Choice Award. I’m so honored. This must be how the celebrities feel on the day they find out they’ve been nominated for an Academy Award. Or maybe not.
I don’t want to pressure you, but if you are so inclined feel free to vote for me.
Well it’s been great catching up, but I have some TV to watch and some ice cream to eat so we’ll talk more later.

Dairy Queen . . . . I haven’t had that in YEARS! The Peanut Buster Parfaits are THE best!
And I would SO give you my vote, but I’ve had sign in problems all along. And no amount of contacting the administrators will fix the problem. ARG!

I took Communications when I was in college, so I had one semester where it was speech after speech after speech. Normally a shy person (still am a little), I managed to lose my fear of public speaking by the end. How? I stood in front of my class, held up a kiwi and an orange and did a persuasive speech on testicular cancer. I got a A!

Wait, we’re supposed to be on a no-tv-for-a-week? What? Forgetaboutit! I agree.. I’ll do that this summer, right about the time all the re-runs start and we have a newborn screaming.
And, btw, you deserver all sorts of bloggy award love so I hope you get it! AND, thank YOU for nominating ME! And for saying so many nice things. I blush profusely.
