The Crews Crew: 02/16/09

Sorry these are so long. I'm only finding about 1 night a week to update so you get lots of info. Either you can read it or you can just look at the pictures, your choice...

Friday the 13th just happened fall on the Friday before Valentine's. All my teacher friends knows what that means...the awesome, wonderful, exciting, stupendous Valentine's Party. (maybe I went over the top on the adjectives.) Fourth graders are starting the "boy/girl phase" which makes Valentine's SOOOO exciting for some of them, it also makes their teachers want to pull out all of their gray hairs by 8:00am. Don't get me wrong I L-O-V-E my kiddos this year but there is just so much "can I pass out my Valentine's", "What time does the party start", "Can we eat our chocolates now" "Is it 1:45 yet" that a person can take before they want to stab an eyeball out... My favorite conversation of the day went a little something like this....

Mrs. Crews, calmly to 4th grade student @ 7:30am: "Um...why is your tongue bright blue?"
Student, bouncing up & down @ 7:31am:"Oh, um, yeah, um...my mom said I could have my extra Valentine's Fun Dips with my breakfast...yeah."
Mrs. Crews, not as calmly: "So you ate a Fun Dip for breakfast?"
Student, balancing on 1 leg & bouncing: "Umm, well, umm,yeah, kinda...I ate 2 Fun Dips..."
Mrs. Crews: "Fabulous..."

That is how my day started...Needless to say many adults were due for a trip to the patio by 3:00. Good times were had (nothing too crazy, we aren't in college anymore)...

Fair warning, I just realized that it looks like I'm not wearing any eye make up, but I promise I am...My eyes are kind of blending into the rest of my face... weird...

We are missing 2 more girls... They checked out early. I'm not giving the names of anyone the picture to protect the innocent or not so innocent.

Our waiter was HILARIOUS & mildly (wait, maybe extremely) inappropriate. We were having a great girls night...until...

My phone was attacked... Miller Light & cell phones don't mix. :o( The accident actually happened about 20 minutes after we arrived, so no... It's not what you think.

It really was accident...

I was so bummed at first, (it didn't work AT ALL) I really NEED my phone, it is very important to me, I hold it near & dear to my heart/ear. I knew I wasn't eligible for an upgrade & I really didn't think that I could talk Brock into an iphone, even though I desperately wanted one...I just new I would end up with some stupid, crappy, cheap phone. I'm just not the cheap phone type. But...(after some begging) Brock said that I could have an iphone as early birthday present. (March 25th in case you forgot) YippeeSkippy!!!!!!! I started looking at all the awesome apps, I found a background, I was in love with a phone. Then...my other phone started working...suck....call me a brat, I don't care. I was so over my other phone & had already committed to my iphone... bummed doesn't even describe it. Good thing my birthday is next month.

On another note... I did get Valentine's flowers...awww....

They actually came on Friday while at school so I could so them off, he knows me well. :o)

Saturday Brock had to work, so I did some work that didn't have anything to do with school, hallelujah!

A friend of mine asked if I could make up some shower invites for a friend of hers. I really like playing in Photoshop. I'm not done, the fonts aren't quite right & some of the details aren't done, but you get the idea. No, I'm not getting paid, yet. Maybe some day. Hint, Hint...

We went to Blue Canyon for dinner & then we saw He Just Not That Into You. Dinner was good, movie was good. Valentine's might be over rated, but it's a good excuse for flowers.

Then, on Sunday I redid my scraproom & the guest room. When we got the new master bedroom furniture we moved our old bed into the guest room & we moved the itty bitty twin from the guest room into my scraproom. Both rooms were a MESS until yesterday. Brother & some of his friends are coming to town this weekend for Mardi Gras. I don't think the guys'll care much but I think the rooms look pretty good. Especially since I spent $28.00. Score!

There is a lot of furniture in the scraproom now. I think it works. I don't want to get rid of any of it. We might need it some day & it gives me more places to store scrap stuff. I love scrap stuff...

Can I just say that twin beds are TINY! The bed is supposed to be an after thought in this room so I pushed in over in the corner. I can still get to everything that I need & it's not in the way. All I bought in here was the little lamp on the night stand. I'll probably add something to the shade eventually but for right now it works.
