2/12-2/18

So, I should officially announce that I ate my body weight in chocolate this week. Thanks a lot, St. Valentine.

2/18- Rami and I spent the afternoon working on Math & Science Team stuff. Our last competition as a team this year is next Saturday. It will be at The Village School, and we are all really excited! Hopefully, we'll be bringing home a few more trophies!

2/14- Ruth Ann and I had a "girl date" on Valentine's Day. At first, our plan was to go to Babin's (I seem to always be craving seafood), but the wait there was an hour and a half! Now, I totally get it... it was Valentine's Day and everyone and their mother was going out to eat. But really? An hour and a half? So, we abandoned that plan faster than you can say, "crawfish etouffe." We go next door to Carino's, and they tell us the wait is 30-45 minutes. We were willing to accept that, given that it was Valentine's Day.

Five minutes later, we were sitting at our table drinking these delicious bellinis! We also had mozzarella sticks, salad, bread, RA had pinot gregio chicken tortellini (yum!) and I had crawfish macaroni and cheese (double yum!). Then, we came home, ate a sleeve of thin mints, and watched Valentine's Day (the movie). So fun!

So true.

2/16- RA and I hosted bunco at our house this week. It was Valentine's Day, so I decided to make chocolate covered strawberries with gold sprinkles!

2/17- Oh, staff development days. How I love thee.

The 7th grade teachers spent the day yesterday planning for our Project Based Learning (PBL) unit that we will be doing later this year. It got very intense- so much so, that I needed two computers to manage. :)

I think we're all feeling excited, yet overwhelmed, about the project. Now, that it's all starting to come together, I can't wait to see how the kids will do!

2/14 (part 2)- My Valentine's card from the best roommate ever!

I feel so much better to know that RA would shiv someone for me... :)

We have more staff development on Monday, so that means a short week ahead! I've already put on my to-do list that I need to go to the gym everyday this week... gotta make up for all that chocolate-eating I did! With that said, time to go pull the chocolate cake I made this evening out of the oven. Not kidding.

Good night!
