News!
Your favorite aardvark will be participating in a Drag show this Thursday(tomorrow).
It is a Drag King show…so usually the girls are dressed as boys except apparently I will be one of several dressed as “Robert Palmer Girls.” The show will be at Upscale. If you are unfamiliar with Upscale check it out here. I will post more details later.
In other news…
“Where is BUSY BEE ?!?!?”
I read my horoscope everyday. I don’t put a lot of faith in it…but I read it. Today I thought mine needed to be shared.
You’re famous for cooperation, compromise and making peace. They’re the qualities that come most easily to you. But when you’re really mad — and it takes a whole heck of a lot to get you there — you won’t stop at anything to make your point.
Ok…go ahead leave your comments.
Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I hate the end of vacation.
Steve and I had such a great time in Hot-lanta this weekend.
If you make it to 6-Flags you must check out the Q-Bot. It is a total consumerist “money is power” gadget…but well worth it!
We had many adventures while in Atlanta.
Our first night there, we were waited on by LaToya at dinner.
LaToya’s goal in life was to make sure that everyone had plenty of napkins, straws and sweet tea.
I do not drink sweet tea.
LaToya did not care.
She must have brought me at least 4 glasses of sweet tea…with varying degrees of sweetness. She was determined that I would like the tea. She made the tea”myself.” She drove us crazy (she was very nice) but she also entertained us…because it was funny to see her doing the same things to everyone around us. I tried to take a picture of LaToya to share with you….but sadly she was never in one place very long. I did manage to get a picture of Steve suffering the antics of LaToya.
I will be posting some pictures in the near future. My webmaster has to give me permission or some such nonsense.
Ohhh drama… We actually saw someone get thrown off a ride at 6 Flags! They were trying to cut in line and then they became belligerent and the ride guy had to call security. They actually shut the ride down for about 15 mins while they waited for security to come and remove the people. Since we were waiting…we had front row seats to the drama and you know how I love a good show!
Alas we returned yesterday around noon. We had to be at my Mom’s for Easter dinner at 2pm. The food was good (it always is…my mom is awesome)! The Easter Bunny left baskets everywhere! Steve and I both had a basket at Mom’s and we both had one at home. Apparently if you are really good (like me) you get high tech eggs in your basket!
Today I had a joyous lunch with Amy and Will. We were rocking it at O’Charley’s! The rest of the afternoon was spent totally assin’ off with Amber. We went to the mall and tried on shit we would never buy. I did manage to acquire a shiny new pair of New Balances. Sweet.
Tonight we are going to be making candy. I have “vagina” candy molds and Jamie bought Easter candy molds…so it will be vaginas and bunnies!
Tomorrow…the gynecologist.
The last day of school before a break is very much like foreplay. You like it because of what you know is coming but you are ready for it to be over so you can get to the real prize! Spring Break starts today at 3:01pm. I am very excited and am anticipating several days of sloth-hood. Although truly my calendar for next week seems to be filling up quite nicely. For a while the only thing I had planned was a trip to the gynocologist.
But now…
Monday - I am going to costume hunt with Alison and I have a massage scheduled.
Tuesday - I am still open if anyone wants to have lunch or whatnot.
Wednesday - Dr. (but can have lunch then too)
Thursday - Sunday - woo hoo…Steve is taking me out of town for a long weekend! (The girls are very excited…they are going to spend the weekend with Sweetie.)
So anyone who wants to have lunch or just goof off in general Tuesday or Wednesday…let me know! Plus I am available for evening events since I will not be rising early!
Are you wearing green? I am. Isn’t is weird how countries all over the world celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? After all it is a holiday with Christian roots that started in Ireand. It isn’t celebrated by giving or receiving gifts (which often calls non-believers to a holiday). Although I guess maybe the drinking of green beer is universal. I was reading up on the history of St. Patrick’s Day.
It is interesting how it became so widespread.
Oh…by the way. This is the first official post on “A” is for Aardvark. The previous posts were just copied from my old blog. So woo hoo! If you are reading this you are part of history! I am oh so very excited to have my own website…Thanks Steve! You are the best!
“Caesar [to the Soothsayer]: The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone.”
The “Ides of March” often feels one with a sense of foreboding. Thank you Shakespeare. The term “Ides” has no evil origin… other than the evil complexity of the Roman calendar.
Check out this information…
The term Ides comes from the earliest Roman calendar which is said to have been devised by Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome. The Roman calendar organized its months around three days, each of which served as a reference point for counting the other days:
* Kalends (1st day of the month)
* Nones (the 7th day in March, May, July, and October; the 5th in the other months)
* Ides (the 15th day in March, May, July, and October; the 13th in the other months)
The remaining, unnamed days of the month were identified by counting backwards from the Kalends, Nones, or the Ides. For example, March 3 would be V Nonesâ€â€5 days before the Nones (the Roman method of counting days was inclusive; in other words, the Nones would be counted as one of the 5 days).
I like my Wonder Woman calendar. Thank you very much!
I am wearing the same thing I wore on Wednesday. I only had it on for 2 hours on Wednesday so I think I can wear it again today. It is extremely comfy and since I only wore it for a short time on Wednesday…I felt cheated out of a whole day of comfort. So here I am … wearing it again. I have on new socks, underwear and even a new clean tshirt.
“Wanda Petronski wore the same faded-blue dress to school everyday. It was always clean, but it looked as though it had never been ironed properly.”
5 School Days until Spring Break
Steve bought me a webcam. Now people will be able to see me sitting at my computer. I am undecided if that is a good thing…but the camera is awesome!
6 school days until Spring Break
OK…so I think the definition of talent has been blurred in the eyes of the public school. I say jump roping is NOT a talent. I say that most emphatically. However, what is the difference in a “talent” and a “skill”? There were several things last night that I would wholeheartedly consider a talent…there was also some crap. Don’t you need to be good at something before you start calling it a talent? Singing is a talent…but not if you suck. There were a couple of “dance” numbers. There is a reason there are no world famous 5th grade choreographers. Speaking of dance…I have seen more clothes on Mtv Spring Break. There was one dance duet and I (very liberal) was embarrassed at what they were wearing. All they needed was a pole and they could have made a few bucks. They were barely clothed and dancing the hoochie to hip-hop. Now maybe this makes me sound old but come on people! Back to the definition of talent, one child brought in a video of her riding a horse. She is not an award winning horseback rider…just a five-year-old taking lessons. Is this a talent? I am asking you…is it? Maybe I am wrong…maybe these things are talents.
I don’t think I will go next year.
7 days until Spring Break
