Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone!

So today was a bit refreshing compared to last year. Last year my fifth graders were out-of-control crazy at the Halloween party. This year my kindergarten students were just too cute.

For one, we had witches brew or scary punch...I told them it was both today. And said that it would make them smarter...who wants some??? All of them raised their hands. This is what we did.....

We had dry ice (for the spookness) and then:
1 (.13 ounce) envelope unsweetened grape kool-aid
1 (.13 ounce) envelope unsweetened orange kool-aid
2 cups white sugar
3 quarts cold water
1 liter ginger ale

and then to top it off...we froze gummy worms in ice cubes and put it in their cups as a surprise. They drank it all.....must have liked it.

Then, a parent brought cupcakes with BLACK icing. Well, that stuff stains and was all over the place. They were making themselves have beards and even putting their fingers in it. It makes your hands PURPLE and my hands are still a little purple from cleaning up.

But it was a pretty fun day! :) Except they would not let the little kiddies dress up...oh well guess they will do that tonight!!! :)

Best Weekend Moments

So, this was a pretty good fall weekend.
A few reasons:

1. GEORGIA beat the stupid Gators. Florida fans are the worst. And that blue and orange combination is just damn awful. Florida fans are just as bad as Tennessee fans. It is about time the Dawgs beat those Gators! Go Dawgs!!! Read all about it here!

2. I went to an OBSCENE Halloween Party. And there was some great "celebrities" there. The best was probably Richard Simmons. He had a whistle that he kept blowing and trying to make us drop and give him 10! That sure didn't happen but it was quite a site....check it out:
And Britney and Kevin were there, Hugh and the Playboy bunnies, Elvis, and even Monica Lewinsky and President Clinton. Of course, I went as myself. No need to be obscene!!!

3. It is actually getting cooler. Love me some fall weather!

The Clap

Tonight, my fiance and I went to dinner with my parents and my soon-to-be-in-laws at this Irish restaurant. Pretty tasty if I must say so myself. We got on the topic of being sick. (I had bronchitis last week). And my mom proceeded to talk about how when I was in college I had the flu, strep, etc. and the infirmary (health clinic) on campus was too booked to see me. Well don't mess with Brenda because she called and let them have it and well from then on, anytime I went to the infirmary, they saw me. Apparently, I was a "sickly" child.

Well my dad says, "I only went to the infirmary two times in college. Both times they told me I had the clap!"

What?????? He loves shock value. OMG! No telling what everyone else was thinking.........

Po' Folks

POOR MAN'S DINNER.........














So tonight for dinner, I made a poor folks dinner.
Let me tell you how cheap it is:
1 can of pink salmon : $1.89
1 egg
1/2 cup meal
1/2 cup flour
some grated onion

Mix together and make patties and then fry in a pan.

With this, I made grits...cheap like $1.50 for a box of quick grits...the cheese is what is expensive, but already had it.

Then made some homemade roumelade....some mayo, hot sauce, wickles, worcetershire sauce, and some pepper.

Looks pretty good huh? Well if you don't like canned Salmon I guess you are out of luck. But this dinner could be under $5 bucks!!!

Freddie ate and this made this little plate to save? For leftovers? Not quite sure but I thought it looked pretty so I took a pic!

HAPPY 30th AMANDA!

So this is a little ode to my sista, Amanda. Today is her 30th birthday....I think she has had a good one so far. We are going to the beach this weekend to celebrate so I will definitely post some of those pics. It is her 30th Birthday Beach Celebration at Edisto. WHOOO!

So this is just a few highlights of her birthday so far:

1. At her job on Tuesday, they had a sale...30% off due to Amanda turning 30 and they even had a margartia machine so all the ladies would get drunk and buy lots of clothes. What a clever idea.
2. She got her own portable margarita machine.
3. Last night we celebrated at the French Market Grille and she got to eat frozen peanut butter pie in front of mom with no comments!
4. I gave her a great present, although let's hope no one gets sick, I have bronchitis.
5. My dad's crazy drunk friend said the following: Amanda goes, "Roger, you can have some of my cake". And he says, "That's what all the ladies tell me!!" What a mess...he is a riot, but I don't think it is on purpose!!!!

So this is Amanda about 30 years ago (and my great grandfather) Well, maybe not 30 but 29..couldn't find a baby pic!:


And her most recent pics will be posted after the fun-filled weekend!!!
