spring? not quite
Well, it was definitely gorgeous today.
I would have to say the best part of my day was tossing around my frisbee with Graham around lunchtime. I have not thrown a frisbee in a couple of months now, and it felt good to get out in the sun, trying out my arm, and trying to avoid the parked cars. It was just gorgeous.
In other news, I bought sea monkeys yesterday.
Sea monkeys are actually brine shrimp... which are not really shrimp at all... and the amazing part is that their eggs are very resistant to drying, so that is why they come in a magically packet of dust. I kinda wonder if you swallowed the sea monkey packet if sea monkeys would hatch in your stomach and then if you could make a meal out of it. Just wondering.
Anyway, I was all excited today to hatch my new class pets at work... I opened the box... and someone had kidnapped the sea monkey packet!!! Pfft. Real nice.
I think the funny thing is that someone really DID intentionally go into the box, open it, remove the sea monkeys, put EVERYTHING ELSE back, and tape the lid. No joke. Apparently sea monkeys are just that hot of a commodity.
I then called Toys R Us to make sure I could return it. The 16 yr old on the phone sounded as if breathing made her want to kill herself. Or maybe it was just working there... but anyway, they said it was fine, so I returned it, sadly, after school.
The good news is that I ordered a new kit online... and its even BETTER. It glows in the dark!!!! Woohoo! Talk about a stylish pad for the sea monkeys.
I also researched this week WHY they are called sea monkeys. And the reason is because their heads actually DO look like monkey heads. Seriously.
Sorry that there is nothing interesting or exciting to report... cept a little birdie told me that Brian is proposing to Suzanne... I do not think either of them read my blog, and it was supposed to happen on Monday, so no harm, no foul.
Also, for those of you who were not clued in yet, Dave and Miryam are expecting a baby in a couple of months.
Sigh.
They grow up so fast.
And then there is me, 25, and my brother, 24, still living at home mooching off the parents with no marriage / family / kids in sight. I guess it is just as well.... I have enough going on. My mom keeps telling me to wait to get married and get all the things I want to get done accomplished... because after that, its all over.
I do not really follow this logic. How could getting married prevent me from pursuing my masters and doctorate? How could getting married prevent me from traveling in the summer?? I mean, kids, yeah, I can understand... but I mean, if you make school a priority, you can make it happen.... Especially when your job is paying for it.
Oh, by the way, more travel plans might be in order.... I have been asked to take a group of 14 yr olds to Germany for a week this summer.... depending on the date, I may just do it!!! Can you imagine... Australia, Germany, and Montana in one summer. I may need a larger travel journal if it all pans out.
I might also have to brush up on my Deutsche. I do not think "ich liebe diche" will make it very far over there. Or maybe it will.... but in ways that I am NOT interested in. :/
