What a beautiful day!

Download word art here

I was up bright and early this morning. The guys were all heading out for some male bonding ~ fishing ~ and I was meeting the girls for breakfast.

If any of you can explain what I was thinking earlier in the week when my friend suggested we all do breakfast on Saturday morning and I answered, "That sounds like fun!" I would appreciate it. I mean it was fun, but it also would have been fun closer to noon. lol!

After breakfast, while everyone else went home to take a nap, I decided to join one of the photography groups that was meeting at Flamingo Gardens. It was lots of fun and the weather was absolutely perfect!

Here are some of the photos I took...

I've got more photos that I can torture you with later. lol!

I got home around 4 and took a nice long nap.

When it was time for dinner the guys grilled fish for everyone, but I'm pretty sure they got the fish from the market instead of the water like they claimed. lol!

After dinner, OCG and I spent a nice quiet evening catching up on Dexter episodes.

Yep, it was a beautiful day!

Right now, OCG is with my neighbors playing video games and I am about to call it a night. Getting up early on Saturdays is for the birds! lol!

Which story should I tell first?

Download word art here

I've got lots of things to tell you about today, but I'm tired and need to get up early in the morning so I'm going to pick and choose what you're forced to read about today and save the other stories for another time. 

I have to start with the aliens!

I had just gotten into bed Thursday night and was in that pre-sleep stage where you're not really asleep yet, but you also aren't fully awake either.  I heard a loud noise that woke me up completely and sat up to see lights coming from down the hallway.  Lights that flashed on and off several times and there was still noise, but it wasn't as loud the initial sound I had heard.

I sat up in bed and waited to see if someone was coming down the hall to kill me, but when no one came I jumped up and ran to see what was causing the lights and noise. 

Trust me, I was surprised that I ran toward the noise because my first instinct is always to run in the opposite direction!

Anyway, I got into the living room to find that the TV was on but the cable box was off.  The light and noise were the result of the static that was showing on the TV screen. 

I knew right away what had happened ~  aliens!  Aliens had come into my house and tried to watch TV.  Apparently, they aren't as technologically advanced as one would think because they couldn't figure out the remote.  lol!

I turned the TV off, asked the aliens to please be quiet and to leave the ghost in the bathroom alone then I headed back to bed.  The aliens were very polite and didn't wake me up again.

For the record, I never saw the aliens but that doesn't mean they weren't there! 

School on Friday was filled with the normal things...dirt, popcorn seeds that refused to grow, Donald Duck band aids, etc....  I'll fill you in on the dirt and popcorn seeds later.

What I though was supposed to be dinner with Orange Croc Guy on Friday night turned into dinner with OCG, my neighbors and their friend......Jose.  Remember the Jose story

Talk about an awkward dinner! 

After suffering through awkward glares from my neighbors, refusing to make eye contact with Jose, praying OCG wouldn't notice any of it and drinking way too many margaritas I decided to tell everyone about the aliens.

They weren't as impressed as I was! 

Here's how they responded...after laughing at me...

OCG:  (shaking his head and looking at everyone but me) Welcome to my life!

Neighbors: Did you consider the fact that maybe it was just a power surge or something?

Me:  Yes, but I ruled that out.

Neighbors: Why?

Me:  Because if there can be aliens on American Horror Story there can be aliens in my living room!

OCG:  It's hard to take you seriously when you have a Donald Duck band aid on your hand.

Me:  I teach Kindergarten!  This was all I had in my class.

Neighbors:  Maybe it was the ghost watching TV.

OCG:  (a little too loudly!) Don't encourage her! 

Me:  It wasn't the ghost.  He just stays in the bathroom and flushes the toilet for no reason.

Neighbors:  Your ghost is a "he"?

Me:  In my mind it's a he.....and he's really hot!

Neighbors:  What do the aliens look like?

Me:  I didn't get to see them, but in my mind they're short and green and they like to watch TV.

OCG:  I'm going to need another drink and I know I'm going to hate myself for asking this question but why would aliens come to your house when they could go anywhere they wanted to?

Me:  I'm awesome! Who wouldn't want to come to my house!

Jose stayed very quiet during my story and I'm guessing he won't be asking my neighbors to try and fix us up anymore.  lol!  OCG and my neighbors laughed and rolled their eyes, which is pretty much normal behavior for them.

If you guys want to come to Miami and hang out just let me know cause I really think I need a new set of friends!

The things kids say...

One of the girls in my class returned to school today after being out sick.  She came in, walked right up to me and said....

I'm sorry I didn't come to school, but I had an ear confection."

I am so happy!

Download word art here

I am so happy that election day has finally past!  If there had been another week before voting, I may not have survived and if I did survive there's a good chance that some of my friends wouldn't have.  Seriously!

I have never seen an election that polarized so many people!  I was really getting tired of all the automated phone calls, Facebook postings and nasty TV commercials.    

The only political commercials I've enjoyed this time around were the fake ones they showed on Dancing with the Stars Monday night!

I went to vote before going to school and I was lucky.  There was a wait, but it was a small one and was much better than the wait some of my early voting friends endured.

The guy tried to hand me my "I voted" sticker and I told him that was ok I didn't want it.  He was a little offended and asked, "You don't want people to know you voted?"  I explained that I didn't want my boss to know I had voted because we were allowed to leave work early on election days to go vote.  If the man knew I had already voted he would have said there was no reason for me to leave early.  lol!

Now, that's enough political talk!

Monday morning I was driving to work and turned on the radio in the middle of a conversation between the radio people and some lady who had called in.  I have no idea what prompted the call or how the conversation started, but this lady had called in to talk about how she had once broken up with a guy because he wore crocs. 

Well, after I listened to the end of the conversation and after I stopped laughing, I had to call Orange Croc Guy and tell him what I had heard.  He did not find the radio conversation as funny as I did.  The fact that he was still sleeping and my phone call woke him up may have had something to do with that.

OCG:  Ginger, are you kidding me?

ME:  No, that's what she said.  Isn't it funny?  Hey, you weren't the guy she broke up with were you?

OCG:  OMG!  Why are you doing this to me?  It's been years since you've even seen those stupid shoes.

ME:  I don't have to see them.  I already know they exist and that's enough for me.

OCG:  I'm hanging up on you now.

ME:  I don't care cause you wear orange crocs!

Orange Croc Guy did NOT cook dinner for me Monday night!

I can't imagine why!  lol!
