mmmm... salad

For something different, we ate salad with chicken strips yesterday. Today, I took the salad, added some leftovers, and stuff I had on hand and made myself a delicious dinner.

Sauteed diced bell paper (which I had in the freezer), canned diced tomato, added some steak seasoning. Added some small chunks of leftover turkey, and when it was all cooked, a couple handfuls of salad greens. After the greens were wilted, poured the mixture over fresh greens and added some mozzarella and my homemade red wine vinegrette.

I haz a happy... and a sad

Happy: I finally came across a female orc and got my "Noble" title!

Sad: The cowboy brothers were kicked off "The Amazing Race" last night. I really hate most 'reality' tv, bust TAR is my weakness. The husbeast and I watch it together and we were really rooting for the cowboys to win it this time. They were doing so well at the beginning, but then they started making stupid mistakes (like choosing to take the later flight in the previous episode. WTF boys?). I guess now I'm gonna be rooting for the father/daughter team.

Dreamy

Last night, I had a dream that I was pregnant. It was so real that when I woke up, I was almost shocked to NOT have a big belly. :(

Totally unrelated:
It's Noblegarden time in WoW!! It's one of the few holidays where I really have time to spend, because we don't do a lot for easter. Turns out, I've already completed most of the achievements. The only thing left to do is to throw some bunny ears on a female orc (which are apparently ridiculously hard to find), eat about 50 more chocolates (easy-peasy) and get a lovely dress from an egg (sheer luck required).
I was fixing to spaz out over finding a female dwarf (ally version of a female orc, lol) but someone was advertising in Stormwind, so I got it! Also got the blushing bride achieve that way. And once I get the title, I'm gonna save up enough chocolates to get the bunny polymorph :)

Also totally unrelated:
I think I have either some kind of weird stomach virus/food poisoning that is only affecting my lower GI (no puking) or my lactose intolerance is really getting out of control. Serious stomach issues today and last night, and no dairy since yesterday morning (which was 2 biscuits with margarine, so minimal dairy, and I took a lactaid). Grrr

I love small town schools!

So, as part of the program to get my teaching certificate, I have to do 30 hours of observation in the classroom.
First, I called the local middle school. Got a secretary which sent me to the principals voice mail - never heard back.
Contacted the middle school of the next town (smaller). Got a secretary, which sent me to a teacher that handles that kind of thing. Had to go out there and sign some paperwork, done.
Contacted an even smaller school (they only go up to 8th grade). Got the superintendent, who told me that the principal usually handles that, and to just come out whenever. Awesome!
