Tomorrow, I return to the classroom. A summary of the highlights of this vacay:
1) While waiting for the plane to ACTIONville to takeoff, the gentleman next to me turned and said, "Damn. I was really hoping you'd be a hot chick." Tell me about it, son.
I decided to be cheeky and remark with, "Well, I was hoping you'd be a hot guy!"
CRICKETS. His jaw dropped. No, really- it did. Several seconds pass by in deliciously uncomfortable silence (my fav) and I say, "Did I just make you uncomfortable?"
He opens his PLAYBOY (!) magazine and doesn't talk to me for the remainder of the trip. His loss, because I'm kind of good seat partner.
Was he insulted that I didn't find him hot? Or that he had to sit next to me as I wept over "Marley and Me?" Or that I chew my ice too loudly?
The world may never know.
2) Completing a 5K with the Sistah in 21:59! And in the process running into an older man and snapping, "Excuuuuuuuseeee meee!" and then running back to the car because he was more muscular than me and I thought he'd pinch me or something.
3) Going out a date with Anderson Cooper.
4) Having to listen to my younger cousins (who I babysat ages ago) talk about their college trysts and having them tell me I'm no fun for not thinking that drawing a giant penis on a picture of me is funny.
5) Lying about going on a date with Anderson Cooper.
All in all- good break from the classroom. Tomorrow, the children will have a bleary-eyed Mr. Vest to contend with but I say bring on 2010!
Not just a new year. It's a new decade, homeslices.
I'm thinking of getting that printed on t-shirts. Submit your order in the comments below.
