Hamburger, Plus A Bite

So on Saturday I hung out with Becky. We were discussing what to have for lunch and the topic of pastrami burgers opened up. We talked about how the pastrami burgers at Arctic Circle were WAY better than the ones at Iceberg because they had more pastrami on them (Arctic Circle has like 5 or 6 slices whereas Iceberg only has, like, 2. LAME), so we decided to go there for lunch.
We order our food and sit down to eat. We started off with fries, tater tots, and corn dogs. We got to the burgers, unwrapped them, and took a bite. I thought something was strange with my burger, and so did Becky. She opened hers up to pull back on what had slid off... and asked if I had a meat patty on mine. Sure enough, No.
We walked up to the counter, laughing at the irony of the whole situation. We were quickly helped and got new burgers WITH the meat patty on them. The employees were a little embarrassed, but we just laughed about it and told them how we just had been talking about the difference between them and Iceberg.
By the time we hit our last bites of burger, we were full. That bite we'd had without any burger on it really filled our tummies ;) What a good laugh we had! Will I go back to Arctic Circle and get the pastrami burger again? ABSOLUTELY!!! Tho I'll probably be double checking that there's a meat patty on it. Ha.

Try Again...

I called this post 'try again' because I had tried uploading photos the other day and it didn't work. This morning, it worked :) So now I can finally update my life happenings thru Feb.

On the 11, our 6th grade had their Valentine's Dance. It is tradition, and I always poke my head in and watch for a little bit. They always have so much fun.

They do line dances, snowball dances, swing, country two-step, parent dances, boy choice, girl choice, and dance showcases. It's very fun.

On the 13th, I had a movie day at Stacey's house. She is a recent bird owner. He was scared of me, so I could never get a really good picture. He had lots of names... Beaky, Popsicle (given by his family), Gil, Henry, and probably George (because I could never remember his name. LOL)

Very cute bird.

On the 16th there was a scouting/ward party. Both my parents are in scouts

and both my youngest brothers.

We had a special visitor, Holly, come and we learned all about her. Such a great bird!!

On the 20, a few of my siblings and cousins got together at my apartment for a movie day. It was a lot of fun. We watched 5? movies and ate food and just goofed around.
My niece and nephew are so cute. They were looking at my movies and talking about them. They are so fun to watch as they get older. It will be interesting to see how each of them respond to a sibling who is younger than them. I can't wait!

Snow? On the 24th of Feb. Yep. I had fun trying to get pictures of snowflakes before they melted. This one landed right on a little girl's cheek.

Now that I'm back in my home ward, and they put me in Young Women's, I get to go to the activities! Last week was a joint activity with the Young Men, so I got to hang out with my sister and brother at the skating rink! It got really smoky in there when they were getting ready for the 'blackout' skate time, but it was fun.

Now, for the biggest part of my life since last November or so...

The Play.
We had performances all last week. Every performance went really well; the kids were awesome!
For anyone who didn't make it to the play, here's a 30 second (speaking) synopsis:

There's a group of kids who get together every Friday night to eat chocolate, drink chocolate, pledge to chocolate, talk about chocolate, etc. One Friday they meet and discover that ALL the chocolate in the entire world is missing. They go on the hunt to find out where it all went. After they find the 'bad guys' who have bought all the chocolate, they sneak in to get it and get caught. They are sent to work on the plantations in Cocoabeana (the island owned by the bad guys who also are in control of the weather - they have a weather changing machine), and because of a party going on there, find a t.v. crew, trick the bad guys into revealing the whole plot of their plan to the world, and get to have as much chocolate as they want. The Choc-A-Block Club is back in business!!!

Very cute play. Most of the characters are candy bar names, the bad guys' names were weather terms. I am so glad it is over now. I didn't realize just how much of my time was spent on the play. I had a lot of fun playing the piano (and got lots of compliments), and look forward to the next play adventure I have.

For the play, I decided to dress up silly... with Becky's help to decide what I should do, here's my costume.

Willy Wonka - or more correctly, Wilhelmina Wonka, Willy's wife (even tho in the movie he was not married). It was fun to wear it and the kids thought it was great.

Many of my friends and family came to see the play (well, to see me. haha).
Thanks to everyone who came to support!!

This has been February at a Glance. Thanks for joining me. Come back soon and we'll see what other adventures we can go on together!

I'm Still Here

Thank you to those who have inquired about my well being, since I have not made a blog post in a long time.

I am still here, I have been so busy with play practices and now play performances I just have not had a moment to do a post.

Hopefully by next week I will have fun stories and pictures to post... Keep checking!

Long Weekend

Hooray for long weekends!!
I don't have to work tomorrow because it's a teacher development day (or something like that). I will VERY MUCH enjoy my day off and being able to sleep in!

Everyone have a good weekend!!!

Good Pick Me Up

I was getting ready to go to lunch today and a little kindergarten child stopped me in the hall and handed me an envelope, saying "This is for you". There was a package of gum attached to the envelope. I went into the office and this is what I read:

"Dear Miss O thank you for hellping the kids at recess. I appreciated is when you gave me a bandaid when I was hurt. Your example makes me want to help people too sincerely _______"

I got all warm and fuzzy inside when I read this. I almost felt like crying... such a cutie to bring me a note! Totally made my day! :)

I have been meaning for a long time to do this post. I was at Stacey's a long time ago and she had been given some of these tomatoes. We pulled one out of the bag and it had it's 'green hair'. We put it back and pulled it out again and it's hair had fallen off. We made a joke about Bobee (rhymes with toupee)'s toupee falling off.

So here is a picture of Bobee

Here is Bobee after his toupee fell off

It was fun for me to try and put the faces on him... I think I did a pretty good job :) (all things considered....)
