guess what i wear as a hat...

a lentil...

some things that have happened in my life

-i got to be a part of a biohazard scene... well not really but i did sit with a student who had a MASSIVE nose bleed. im talking like two cups of vampire juice!
- the Halloween leprechaun came and visited our house!
- i think i am going to be a houston dynamo fan
- the SBARR (situation/background/assessment/recommendation/response) method works
- it is difficult to try to explain the car horns are used as a greeting in the midwest
- peer pressure can cause someone to buy a plant... and a holder... and a table.
- no nook is better than another. just different. the same but different.
-i made family dinner for all our friends AND some guests! (the recipe to follow in a latter post) it was like a thai pasta dish things went seemingly smoothly thanks to a confidedance both from john the fiance of one of the teachers at my school... but i was a bit worried when i got a call from my roommate the next morning who needed to be picked up from work as she had already gotten sick... needless to say.. she seemed to have caught it from one of the kids she works with.. NOT my food. phewwwwwww.




advice:

• dont get the denny's sandwich with the mozzarella sticks in the middle
• if you thought the thriller dance was cool, try learning it with a bunch of middle aged women
• dont drive a giant van into an exit... each of the 11 students in the van will notice and give you a hard time about it

this is terribly embarassing that i have NOT posted in a while.

alas... i dont have much time either... but id like to share with the world... this little gem that was shared with my by a sweet friend of mine, cynthia...


MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo.

I like... (well I won't give it away).

Isn't it fantastical when two very funny things in your world collide.

Or maybe let me better rephrase this... life has a funny way of merging ...... reality and.... youtube.

For starters this YouTube hit is certainly going to be one of my favorites for years to come...

 

 So this weekend one of my roommates and I went to the Zoo (three cheers for supervisors who have zoo memberships that discount the rest of us!). FYI... the Zoo is located in Hermann (or spelled Herman if your Emily) Park which is just a short jaunt from our beautiful house (find address on Emily's facebook) in the museum district. 

We were enjoying our time.. saw a baby elephant, ate french fries, met a boy who thought the rock he was standing on was a pirate ship, saw the plethora of tattoos that the houston people have to visually offer, watched said boy get excited about baby elephant, tried to fight off our hangovers etc. 

We stumbled upon on a scenic display of animals that seemed to be causing quite the commotion.  And by commotion I mean cameras, laughter, parent giggles, video cameras.. all leading up to a potential birds and the bees talk.

ok want to see what all the commotion was all about?

seriously. these turtles could have used some privacy. to be honest I took a video... but I don't want to get in trouble for like animal exploitation (i am a vegetarian).

gee wiz. what  a day. and if that wasn't enough to make that october 2nd go down in history (happy birthday mom)..... 

also while at the zoo...

i

  got 

     pooped 

               on

                  by 

                     a 

                       bird

let me replay the scene for you...

me: ummm emily did something just fall on my head.

emily: ah yeah. actually a bird just pooped on you.

me: eww... what does it look like.

emily: (emily when you read my blog can you remind me what you said here).

me: well can you get a NAPKIN!

and that is just one of the many reasons why I love my roommates.
