What a Day!

January 31st has come and gone! I am now another year older! Whew! It is so hard to believe!
It started out with me getting up earlier than normal because 2 of my children had to go to the dentist. This is Trenton- definitely not a happy camper!

Then I made it back to school around 10:00 a.m. and talked with my friend! (very busy!) I did go and weigh out here and I lost 5 lbs WHOO- HOO!
Then I went out to eat with some of my students! They treated me to Olive Garden and a gift card to Cato's! Here is the back drop to the story:
A couple of weeks ago one of the students was given permission to take me out to eat, all she wanted was for me to chose where to go! Now for people who know me well this is a silly question! My answer was- "Taco Bell"
or "Skyline Chili". I know that I am a boring person so she asked me if I had a favorite fancier restaurant? That was hard for me because I really am happy with my choice of Taco Bell or Skyline Chili! So I decided to name a few others - Fazoli's, that pizza buffet one, and I can't think of what else I said! So she asked if I like "Olive Garden". Sure I like Olive Garden, so that was where they decided to take me! We had fun. We left at 11:30 a.m. and got back to school at 2:05 p.m. Service was slower for that big of a group! Here we are after eating!


The students being goofy- which really isn't that hard for them! J/K
I truly do love to teach them! They are a fun group of kids!!
They also gave me a gift card to Cato's. That is a good place to shop. None of their clothes are very expensive and they now have Juniors. Okay, obviously not for me but for my girls! Here is what I bought- already!!

I bought the 2 shirts with their money and Bryan bought me the skirt plus..........................................

Perfume!!!!!!! Amarige by Givenchy! This is my favorite perfume!!! I was thrilled! Again folks, it really doesn't take much to make me happy!! (not the Aveeno- more about that in a sec)

Bryan did take me out last evening after school and we went shopping and then to Chik-Fil-A, since I had a big lunch.

He treated me to a massage after we got home and put the kids to bed! It was simply marvelous!! I have always wanted to go and get a massage but never felt comfortable. I think some holiness person should start a business and call it ........ well I don't know, but something good! (he even massaged my feet! I was a happy woman last night)!

One thing I have noticed since progressing past the 35 mark is that my skin is different. What I used before (oil of olay) was not doing a very good job. So I decided to branch out! Dorcas B. used Aveeno lotion and I tried it and loved it! So I bought the mositurizer, face wash and weekly scrub thingy. I really like it! My face feels really soft! And I feel that my complextion is smoother. (might just be all in my brain tho') I just thought I would share with you ladies they are 'maturing'.
