Randomness...is that a word?

I am SOOO looking forward to this week. I need some days off. It's time. The elementary buildings in town have conferences Wednesday so my kids don't have school, but I still have to work because I work at the middle school and our students have school. Mike and I decided to take a day off and take the kids to the MOA to Nickelodeon Universe to ride some of the rides and to see Planet 51. I am looking foward to a nice day away. We might even go to Rainforest Cafe for lunch.

Speaking of movies we went and saw The Blind Side over the weekend. I have been waiting for this movie to come out since I started seeing the previews about 2 months ago. I LOVED this movie.

This is the perfect Bullock role....the no-nonsense, slighty-bitchy but still lovable, and stubborn type. 10 out of 10 from me. Mike and my parents loved it too.

I can't get into this New Moon drama and craziness. Granted, I didn't read the series. But, I just don't see the allure of this:

What I see is grease, pasty-white skin, and lots of eyebrows. I just don't get it. Also, what's with denying that you are dating your costar while being seen all over the country together? That I find annoying.

Sun Country Airlines?. Are you listening? Can you hear me? You need to offer some more flights to Fort Myers in March and you need to lower your prices. Are you listening to me? I need Florida in March and I can't afford $500 tickets. By March, I have been sitting in figid temps for 4 months and need to bake my booty in the sun. Can you help me? The Twins need me.

I get to see my favorite couple in the world this week:

Could she be more gorgeous?

Tammy and Paul are coming home from Indiana for Thanksgiving. I have my parents all set up to watch the kids Friday night and we are going out! I miss her so much. This week can not go fast enough! If Sun Country refuses to listen to me, I may have to hop a flight to IN in March!

I want this book for Christmas.

I have always liked Andre Agassi. I miss him not playing tennis. Now I have no one to watch. Remember those Agassi / Sampras matches.....so good! Remember when he cried when he won his last tournament before retiring...the best! I know this book has some dark material in it.....that's what makes it a good read. On a side note, see those glassy eyes on the cover? I have been working with my Photoshop to get that look in my photos, I almost have it. I am so close.

It has been gorgeous here in MN this November. As I type it is 63 degrees out. That is unheard of for us. Of course they are forecasting snow for Wednesday, but it's been such a treat to have this nice weather. The kids are outside every day after school and all day on the weekends. How lucky are we this year? Mike is outside as I type putting up lights on the house in a short sleeved t-shirt.

Are any of you upgraded to the new blogger? If so, how do you spell check? It's not an option with this new format. The little letter with the check mark is gone. Disappeared. Nothing there. I asked for help and typed in "spell check" and it told me to click on the letter A with the check mark....the one that doesn't exist. I will say that adding pictures and links is WWAAYY easier with this format though. However, I don't want to edit my posts 100 times looking for spelling errors. That's what spell check is for. It's not cool for a teacher to spell words wrong. Keeps me up at night.

Not much else to report, just hoping to get through 2 whole days of work. Can I do it? We will see......

Have  great week!
