It's been a while!

Hello again! I have received word that some of my blog viewers were rather disappointed that I hadn't written for a while. So here is an update. I am in the beginning of my complete take over of the classroom and loving every second of teaching. It's amazing how good life feels when you get to do something you love all day long! WOOHOO!
As you can see by previous posts, I often have interesting experiences while out with friends. Tonight followed suit very nicely. One of my girlfriends called and wanted to make an ice cream run (she had a bad day and needed to vent), so off to the Marble Slab Creamery we went. I was enjoying my birthday cake ice cream in a waffle bowl, minding my own business, talking with my friend, when a very drunk man came walking up. (Now let me remind you that we were in a very good part of town and it was only about 9pm). He asked if the ice cream store was open, and hoping that my answer would encourage him to leave, I said "nope I think they just locked up." Well my plan failed. This man proceeded to tell my friend and I how good looking we were (like I said he was really drunk) and how he had had a terrible day and then he saw us sitting there eating ice cream (Thank You Captian Obvious!!) He asked my friend her name to which she replied with her real name (I think she was so afraid she couldn't lie) and then said to me "and your Yoko." I of course couldn't contain my laughter! WOW! He pulled out a box of cigarettes to which my lovely friend responded "I'm allergic to smoke" His relpy "Wow, and I'm gonna smoke." My friend and I are becoming very aware of the fact that we are the only people around and that the situation was getting a little scary. The man kept asking my friend her name and then saying "an you're Yoko to me." He then figured out we weren't interested in the slightest and said "Well I'm gonna go" to which we replied "That's a great idea" he turned to leave but not before asking "Do you girls like bad boys?" The answer was of course a unison "not a chance!" I immediately picked up my phone, called a good guy friend, and loudly talked to him as we booked it for the car. WHEW! In the car, doors locked, safe and sound we drove away as fast as possible! The ride home was full of laughter as we recounted the story to our phone rescue hero! Apparently my new nickname is Yoko!
