How to tame your dragon

So today we took my class to see how to tame your dragon. Since where the wild things are was such a let down, I was kind of worried. I was super happy when the movie started and the kids all seemed to enjoy it. There was enough action scenes to hold their interest and it was full of adorable dragons that start out kinda scary, but quickly turn into cuddly dragons. I also enjoyed it a lot. I happen to own bearded dragons so maybe I am a bit biased, but it turned out to be a great movie. So unlike where the wild things are, I actually recommend this movie to you guys. It's not too scary for the little ones and the big kids will like it too.
Spring break starts Friday and I can't wait. Honestly it seems like forever since we had vacation time. Rob has Wed and Thurs off so I can finally take him to Pier 39 and fisherman's wharf. He has been waiting a while to go there, our schedules never seem to work out to have days off together. He really wants to have clam chowder in a sough dough bread bowel.
As for me, I kinda just wanna sleep in and play with Jelly-Bean. This bird and I apparently have Bonded to the point that I can't even feed Nauhal's 5 month old son a bottle with out Jelly-Bean getting jealous. Rob has bonded well to the bird as well. The bird "love vomits" on him. lol! When a parrot loves you a lot, it tends to share it's food with you by regurgitating it between your fingers...like it's feeding it's young. So I get the kisses and cuddles and all the good stuff and Rob gets puked on...seems like a fair deal to me. LOL We have managed to teach him 3 words. He says Hi! Night night and really. Of course he only says things when he wants too, leading my parents to believe we are crazy. But finally he said hi in front of my mom. I also trained him to poop when I tell him too, so less laundry for a change. I adore this dumb bird. He cracks me up and I find myself rushing home so we can play together and cuddle. Rob pointed out that I kiss the bird before him when I get home....oops. I would post pictures, but for some reason the blogger wont let me do it. Oh well. love you guys!

Spirit week at work




So this week was spirit week at the school I work at. Usually I don't participate because it requires us to wear various goofy things and I usually have some other place to go after work but I managed to do a few things. Monday was wear your school t-shirt day...I missed that mainly because I got a really cute dress over the weekend and wanted to wear that instead. Tuesday was crazy hat day....I missed that regardless of the fact that I happen to have an over abundance of dorky hats that would have worked just fine. Wednesday was Dr. Suess day so we were supposed to wear something striped....yeah big girls don't usually have striped clothing, it adds pounds. Thursday was crazy hair day...that I did, I own several nut ball wigs, if you open my closet you would think that I rob banks and have a ton of drag queen friends. I wore a wig and scared one of my students to the point he wouldn't even sit next to me....i should wear it more often. Friday was pajama day....I wore what I slept in, it's light blue jammie pants with polka-dots and a solid navy blue t-shirt. I had to gas up before work so I stopped by the gas station to fill up, as I was filling up, a lady came to me and asked me about a mole on her lower back...apparently my pajamas look like nurse's scrubs. I saw her butt crack. Never again will I do pajama day at school. Any way, I am on facebook and if you guys wanna find me, I tend to be on that more so than the e blogger I am under the user name Alison pandora or go by my e-mail squawpandora@yahoo.com.
