this week's update

vonage does 3 way calling? who knew? had a great chat with my mad cousin and my partner in crime.

then, in SisterSpeak, had another 2 hour marathon update session with my sister from another mother. every time. always on a school night. always WAAAAAAAAAAAY past my damn bedtime! always informative and hilarious =D

attended the football match the savannah. left the match covered in mud up to my knees. me and everyone else. FINALLY started to understand the serpentine beast that is maraval road...or is it long circular? anyway, the mud that i thought i had washed off was only the top layer. once i stepped out of the car in Bougierslie plaza, i discovered a thin layer of mud all over my manicured toes.

super classy. =|

almost flashed the world (2 female students) when a gust of wind took my wrap dress flying in different directions one afternoon. the ONE day i dont wear shorts or a slip underneath. the O N E day!!! i figured my giant boyshorts were bigger than my bathing suit anyway so it should have been ok. i so did not want to be marilyn monroe.

domestic adventures part #54
made an apple cucumber salsa (emptying the crisper was never so much fun) to go with my budget salmon filets. this was accompanied by diced carrots and sliced broccoli sauteed in butter, and angel hair pasta. mmmmm. culinary exploration!

went to dance class and busted my ass AGAIN. had a small moment of success cus she wanted us to do a pelvic move while walking. i was the only one who got it. THAT kind of stuff i can do. separate the parts and have me do something, fine. try to have me do 9 things with my body in quicktime all at once: not happening.
i figured out the reason why i dont get it- besides the fact that it's a different style - is she only explains stuff twice. she rarely shows us because she cant. i'm not used to learning a 16 part routine by someone only telling me twice.
...
steups.
...
but i'm also super out of practice.
"falls"* will slowly kill my spirit. they will. freakin martha graham and her contemporary modern style.
*a routine i can never do right. ever.

evacuation # 42. good times. i learned from the one 2 weeks ago. i've started carrying the ole' house keys in my school bag. so THIS time, i wasn't S.O.L. when they said we could leave. you're not supposed to carry bags with you. so i've gotten in the habit of carrying just my keys. that way, instead of fuming at the side of the road in the hot sun waiting for the school to be cleared, i can go home, bathe, chill and wait for a phone call "all clear".
which is what i did.
...
and, i got to share the fruits of my cooking adventure with my friend who had to camp out at my house waiting for that call.
more importantly, i got to watch my soap. from start to finish.

i also turned mothers against their sons and made children out to be liars. all in a day's work.

oh! that's what i forgot to tell the man:
saga at the grocery store.
someone needs to tell old people that it is illegal to make people wait in line behind them for more than 15 mins for non-emergency situations.
old people also need to be informed that you should only hand a cashier the credit card you REALLY want to pay with... not the one you SORTA want to pay with. cus once it's been swiped and it has gone through, the poor cashier cannot instantly UNDO the transaction and credit back the card. that would be viewed as fraud. plus it takes 24 hrs for the loot to be credited anyway. plus this is a frikin grocery. you can't UN-buy 14 items and then RE-buy them instantly. all that stuff has to be UN-bagged to swipe again. (or enter the sku but that takes just as long).
madonna mia! all this for 98.70TT worth of groceries. =|
...
i started looking for a chair cus i really didn't want to have to RE-pack MY cart and move to a next line. i kept having faith that the old lady couldn't be THAT obstinate.
she was.
sasha texted me that i should hit her a hard slap to make her move along.
appealing...
but not.

assisted with ticket preparation for fundraiser dinner vouchers. mmm. kelvin has rubbed off on me. blasted the kids for the shoddy layout and horrible alignment. even the grammar didn't get me as angry as the lack of space and textual overload. the colour scheme was a good idea though. they probably think i'm [MORE] crazy.

tonight: catch a fire on the laptop. good movie.
domestic adventures #55 : baking choco chip cookies from a mix. mmmmmmMMMMMM
several were eaten for quality control purposes. they will be a sugar rush for the garage sale/car wash tomorrow.

YUM!
