Yesterday was Michael & I's 3 1/2 year anniversary. Of course, I'm sure he knows nothing about this, but - mainly to advance my efforts in homework procrastination - I decided to make a post about it. Come on, I've already trolled all the gossip sites and painted my nails (twice). Logically, a video montage & web post was the next step. So, at the end of this post is a picture slide show . It was all for my own amusement, so feel free to completely disregard it. Unless you too need something to do instead of what you should be doing.
In non-Michael related news, I promised to update you all on the fun happenings in my life. Well, there's sadly not too much to report. Last Thursday we went to the Waste Water Treatment Plant. I personally found it fascinating, but not so much with the littles. Friday our friends Ricky & Emy graciously held a Halloween party at their apartment. It was fabulously fun and full of crazy characters: a sexy nurse, John, John's gall bladder, a down-on-his-luck Inspector Gadget, an imaginary friend, a giant banana with maracas, and many many more. We played drinking games like we were all still in college and watched silly videos on YouTube (Charlieeeee!!!).
Saturday was a rousing game of Frisbee golf, which I played admirably although I quit at the 11th hole (frick was my arm sore). Also Saturday included an "adult" party in the non-XXX vain; it was just people at least a decade older than Michael & I. We went with my co-teacher & her husband who are probably two of the most fun people I know AND Redskins Fans!!! It was at one of my classroom parents' house that was freakishly scary with bloody decapitations, manikins in the windows, and a very strong Tequila brew.
Tomorrow the multiage will venture to City Hall for trick or treats, I will make a fool of myself by wearing a tutu to school, and we'll have a special presentation about BATS. Woooooooo, spoooky times lay ahead!!!
Michael is totally wonderful for the following reasons:
1. He likes me, which can really take a lot out of a person
2. He always makes the most delicious food the way I like it - like chopping up the onions small enough for me not to notice they're there.
3. He is always up for cuddles
4. When I want to watch trashy TV, sometimes he lets me
5. He's so Handsome!
6. Every morning he's in Prescott, he sends me a crazy text message.
There's many more, but I've decided to just move on.
To begin:
Hail to the Redskins, Hail victory, Braves on the warpath, Fight for Old DC!!
YEAH, REDSKINS!!!! WE WON & CARDINALS DID NOT!!!
Anyway, today Michael & I went downtown to the Pay 'N' Take to watch their NFL ticket and have a generally rad time with Ricky with his Little Guy Distributing party. They had a bunch of really cool stuff that they raffled off or otherwise gave to me for free. Michael and I collected: one regular coozie, two slap-bracelet coozies, a Wittekerke hat (which doesn't say the word 'beer' in English, so I can wear it on school field trips), two pint glasses, and a bottle opener for my key chain. I also drank more than is usual for a Sunday mid-morning and ate some really delicious Carne Asada. Speaking of Delicious, if you want to see something really weird and funny, go here: http://www.astateof.com/films/delicious/ The scissors are a part of it.
Moving along, the rest of my weekend was pretty awesome. Michael & I both had Friday off, so we did some errands and had a picnic in the woods and then had fun together downtown. Saturday, I did not attend a field trip for a class I'm taking and instead tried to find a place called Kelly Canyon, got lost, had a melt-down on Michael, & went to play frisbee golf instead - which was actually quite fun. All in all, I'd say this weekend was just about as much fun as last weekend with the family and see all my best lady friends.
On par for this week: Homework, going to the new Old Navy, finding suspenders, a trip to the waste water treatment plant, two Halloween parties, and bowling for Liz. I will try to update you on the fabulous things accordingly.
PS: Hi Daddy!!!
sorry for all the non-posts, but it's midterm time and, with michael out of town virtually all the time i've been spending a lot of time convincing myself that i will not be randomly attacked by a psycho in my sleep. and also wondering what i should cook for dinner. by the way, i made a dinner of steak, gnocchis, and broccoli all by myself! it should be mentioned that i also made a dinner of ... jack in the box :(
on the topic of the 'holidays', starting with halloween, i've got a little question: what will everyone be for halloween this year? do people even do halloween-y things anymore? some parents from school who live & breath for halloween invited michael and I to their halloween party. i'm a little excited, but debating the wiseness of drinking in a room full of people who's children i teach??
anyway, i'll have more fantastical posts soon, so be patient dear friends. This upcoming weekend is full of fun on all sides: pizza, nana, and family; baby talk, friends, and pregnant-ness (not me, thank goodness!) see everyone soon!!

Now I want THIS:
Seriously, how amazingly Dr. Suess is this house?!?!?! It's on a 1/2 acre in Kachina Village, which is like the boonies of Flagstaff if you can believe that Flagstaff even HAS boonies.
But I. AM. IN. LOVE. WITH. IT. I'm sure if I ever get to see it in person, it will be vapid and shallow and have nothing interesting to say, but I don't care. Michael loves it, too.
So what I guess I'm trying to say is: Please send a generous donation made out to Molly Wiedel and I will allow you to come visit me in one of the 3 bedrooms. You can pee in one of the 2 bathrooms, or otherwise roam around the 1,663 square feet. Perhaps, if the donation is generous enough, we can sip hot drinks on any of the many porches and look for deer & bunnies.
(and because I can't resist, here are more inside pictures)
(and here is a 2nd best place home)
Michael says: nothing, he hasn't been home very much and when he is he's tired and kinda grumpy. :( Instead, I leave you with this final thought: Taylor from Gilmore Girls is also a lawyer on Law & Order!
