'teachers get good things to eat'

today i asked one of my students what she wanted to be when she grows up. at first she was not sure, but after a minute, she said maybe a teacher. i asked her if she just said that because i'm a teacher. she said no, she wanted to be a teacher because "teachers get good things to eat." (she was referring to the time our principal got us sonic drinks for appreciation day or something like that). hmm...i probably ought to explain to her that usually one does not make a career choice by following their stomach. restaurant-fine...job-not fine.

some people know that when it comes to chinese food, i have to have a craving (unless it was in dsm, we used to always crave shrimp fried rice!) but sushi on the other hand i could eat any time...i could probably even eat it for breakfast (i haven't, but perhaps i could). well, guess what was on my door knob when i came home today.

interesting...

not one, not two, but THREE fliers! chinese and japanese! so today, i was in the mood for shrimp fried rice and sushi, and i figured it was a good idea because i would have leftover for lunch tomorrow. sigh of contentment because i don't have to wake up early to make lunch! so tonight as i savored my dinner, i remembered good times with cindy and shannon after a long day at the airport.

oh, i forgot to mention that when i took bruno and chaco walking yesterday, there was a girl who came out to the little dog park here with her maltese and sat down on the bench where i was. her dog pooped and she stood up to go get it (ok, not really to go get it, but more to throw it in the trash)and said, "i think one of your dogs might have peed on my shoe" well, i wanted to say, "first of all, that's not a shoe, it's a flip...or a flop... secondly, i could only wish for so much,  because i'm trying to get them to go potty outside, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't them because they pee like girls-they don't hike their leg...you would've known if they were peeing on you." but i just said, "i don't think so-they usually don't pee outside." it was her dog, dolce. really? dolce? but then, i did name chaco after a shoe...but one of the most amazing shoes EVER!

when we were leaving bruno looked at chaco and asked, "did you hear that girl ask if you were a tea cup yorkie?" of course chaco who has little-man syndrome just glared at him and muttered, "i'm not a tea cup...i'm a mug."

oops..just opened my fortune cookie!

oh bland fortune cookie...how could you?

you know that this means i'll be busy writing letters over the next few days..weeks...trying to make sure that the one person who needs it most gets their letter!

don't trust the fortune cookie...i thought fortune meant great riches...
