So MUCH news!!!
So last friday, Jena and I had an impromptu happy hour at Buffalo Wild Wings. Seymen and Nate met us there at around 7:30. We hung around until 8ish and then Seymen, Nate, and I went to Lola for dinner. Jena had to go home and meet another friend...So at Lola, I had an apple-tini and a champange and strawberry martini...Unfortuately, I broke the cardinal rule: "Beer before Liquor - Always Sicker"...Needless to say, it was a pretty bad night for me. Seymen has banned me from drinking ever again.
Saturday mom and Bill picked up the PUPPY!!! She's soooooooo cute! Mom and Bill went out to LeRoy and picked her up while I was in LVA training. Chrissy and Jake drove home from Buffalo to meet "Peake" too. We had a fun weekend spending time with her, playing, and watching her sleep. My camera's battery died so I haven't been able to download the pics yet...but soon :-) Seymen was helping mom and Bill put up a fenced in runner area for Peake, and managed to hammer his pinky. Poor guy. His finger was all smooshed and turned purple. On Monday he ended up going to the ER because his friends at work freaked him out, telling him his finger might fall off. So he and Maki went to the ER and they gave him a pinky splint. Turns out he fractured the bone a little at the tip of his finer. But they said it should heal in about a week. So he's been walking around with a metal finger now :-)
Meanwhile, I seem to have caught a chest cold over the weekend. Which totally stinks because I've been drugged up on cough medicine and turkish sudafed. It's been pretty difficult at work to have a fuzzy head and deadlines up the wahzooo! But I think we caught ourselves up yesterday so I'm feeling more relaxed today.
Anyway, tonight is my weekly dinner with Maureen from my LVA training class. We're going to Magnolia. We started a little e-mail discussion group with the rest of the women in our class. I sent out a contact information e-mail the other day, and now everyone is sending e-mails back and fourth. Hopefully we will keep up with that after our training has ended (this SATURDAY is our last class!!!). We also all talked last Saturday and decided that once we get our students, we want to have a Reunion, and meet together with our students and have a dinner, where we cook ethnic food, or go out to a restuarant. We can even make it into a lesson on food, but at least we get to see our fellow tutors, and the students get to meet other students. We are all so excited, but really nervouse about being a tutor. Last Saturday, I made Seymen pretend he was my student and I tried to teach him the word "Key", and "House Key" and "Car Key". But he didn't pretend very good. He just started screaming like I was trying to kill him when I showed him the key :-) He said he wanted to prepare me for a student that was scared of me! WHAT?!?!?$@
Oh yeah, the other good news...Chrissy is moving home this friday for a month. I'm excited that she'll be home with me, and I'll have a built in friend at home. We've decided that we're going to walk and bike ride and exercise together (because I can't do anything on my own)...and oh yeah, get this, we're sharing not only a room, but a bed! Yeayyy! That'll be really fun :-) Hopefully it'll work out...And it's only for three weeks. The last week Chrissy and I should be able to move into Seymen's apartment (hopefully!! Crossing our fingers!!) so we don't have to share a bed anymore...and we'll both be really close to work.
OK I just received an exciting e-mail...My eILT course that I'm instructing at work, for PowerPoint 2000 Level 1, is going to start July 11th! I am going to read the documentation about what I have to do :0) Yeayy! I'm going to be an Online Instructor! Wish me luck!
