Sunday was my Mother's 50th Birthday. As birthdays go, it was mostly sedate - we did a family lunch in Portland at a wonderful Italian restaurant and gave her the mp3/video player that she had asked for. Of course the night before, Thad, Scotty, and I had managed to use over 2,000 feet of Seran Wrap to completely cover her car. That was the fun part.
From there, it was a mostly mundane work week. We've been doing dual testing with both OAKS and ELPA testing going on simultaneously. It's not been fun. Not only has my building had bandwidth issues, but we're seriously lacking in available technology. Literally every single functioning computer in my building has been in use the last few days. I spoke with the Teacher liaison between technology and certifieds and if I'm still around next year I'm hoping for some further technology to find its way into the building.
On Wednesday I had the next major step in getting all my dental work done - and it wasn't fun. I literally spent four plus hours in the dentist chair. They removed my front four caps with difficulties and fitted me for the ones that are going to be made, very painful. Today, two days later, I'm still sore and bruised and very swollen. I'm going to be on a "soft diet" for the next three weeks if not longer, anything that requires biting is out. I'm not a happy camper. Theory is that it'll be worth it in the end. Right now I'm scheduled to be done with all my teeth work mid-July. We'll see if that happens or not.
Last night I had to run to the store and pick up school appropriate PJs. One of the things about working in an elementary building is that you have to participate in all the cutesy/stupid events they do. So tomorrow/Friday is wear your PJs to school day. I, of course, ended up with a pair of sock monkey pajamas, complimented nicely by sock monkey slippers and a sock monkey stuffed critter that Scott managed to find in the toy section. I think he had more fun with the damn monkey than I did. Pictures to come on that one. Lets just say the one photo I have of the damn thing isn't safe for work. But hey, at least I'm participating, right?
Otherwise, I'm playing alot of Mario Kart which I finally picked up for myself on Tuesday. We're slowly working on unlocking the important parts and having fun getting pwned by the NPC's when we're doing too well. Weekend plans include seeing Iron Man at the theater again (hello matinée showing!), catching up on much needed sleep, Guild Wars (I've been neglecting it!), and hopefully NOT painting a house. But we'll see. Toodles.
