I have about 10 minutes to post, so here I go!

March Break was splendid. It was wonderful. Days and days of not sending anyone out of the room, or having chalk dust all over me, or only peeing when a bell rang. DAYS OF IT! Nine days, to be exact. Oh, glory. But it’s over now.

Still, we mustn’t dwell. Not on Rex Manning Day! Instead I will tell you of my Adventures During March Break.

On the first Saturday, Rob and I met up with some friends and went to see the movie ’300′. FOR SPARTA! It was a pretty good movie. FOR SPARTA! I’d probably watch it again, if only for the buff waxed and oiled Spartans (“Dudes! Let’s go to war! Against guys with arrows and elephants and a hunchback!” “Okay just a second I’ll get my chest plate!” “What are you talking about?! No chest plates! We just need our swords and our chainmail underpants!” “Duh! What was I thinking?!”) and the golden face-piercing guy (plus all the naked boobs). I mean, it wasn’t horrible. There was fighting! And heads flying everywhere! You’ve gotta like a good flying head, dontcha?

Hmmm… Okay. On Monday my mother and I went to the fabric store. Because remember how my boss said she didn’t like my clothes? (if you don’t, well, my boss said she didn’t like my clothes) I am in no way going to buy a whole new wardrobe, because hello Benjamins (John A. MacDonalds), but it is cheaper to just make your own. So. I got all the stuff I needed for less than $60, and made a skirt, a couple of tops, and a jacket/dress thing. This took me the entire rest of March Break– I’d go over to my parents’ (my mom has a real sewing machine, plus sometimes I need her help) at about 9 or 10, and leave at 2 (Mom starts watching her Stories at 2 and there is nothing that can come between her and the Young. Or the Restless. They’re all in it together). I would link, but this computer has a thing where it freezes up when you have more than one window open. You’re lucky you’re getting this much!

Rob had last Thursday and Friday off. On Friday he took me to Charlottetown for another date! We went to a paint-your-own pottery studio, which was beyond amusing. They didn’t have any gnomes for me to paint, so I had to do a plate. Rob did a goblet. We’ll get them back next week sometime, after they’re glazed and fired. I’m excited to see how they came out, but worried that my fancy painting that I did is going to turn into ugly colours once it’s fired. Oh well though. It was fun making our oeuvres d’art, and that’s what counts. After the painting, we also went to Cedar’s (this one I know the link to by heart– http://www.cedarseatery.ca or .com I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure it’s dot ca) which is my favourite restaurant in the entire universe. We ate until we thought we would die. Yes, that’s how you can tell that you’re having a good time– you eat until you die. You didn’t know that? Well jeez~!

Saturday and Sunday were spent doing regular stuff and my sister’s cat had kittens on Saturday. Wow, what a sentence.
And then, back to work. Chalk dust. Sending people out of the room. Peeing at the bell. Oh, it’s all coming back to me now.
