A Treat

It's very rare that Jim and I go out much less on a school night but last night we did. See, I had a union meeting at 4:00 which lasted until about 5:00.  I knew I wouldn't get home until way past the time to get a nice home cooked meal made so we planned to go Mexican...it'd been a long while since we ate at El Picante. Not to mention we needed to restock our giant straws (the ones you get when you order a frozen drink). And let me tell you - it was so nice to go out, hang with my honey, eat a fajita or two, suck down a margarita (only one) and still be home by 7:00.  I love to cook and I'm glad I've been so good in NOT getting take-out and going out (to save moolah) but every now and again it's nice to treat yourself.  And the bill was under $30 - tip and drinks included.

When we got home we watched The Walking Dead.  Man oh man that show just makes me so TENSE!!!  I'm always waiting for some nasty ass walker to attack or a crazy non-walker to go loony toons.  Last night didn't disappoint, that's for sure.  We also watched a bit of the Talking Dead afterwards and it sounds like the shit is going to hit the fan in the next episode.  I don't know if my heart can take it.

In union news at school...not much is going on there.  We did discuss the election and the fact that a woman who has notoriously been against teachers and in fact has sued my district several times is running for a seat on our board.  So crazy.  Her main focus is always not spending money (not paying teachers fairly) and saving the district cash.  Not sure how all her lawsuits help us there.  Can't imagine that this ISN'T a conflict of interest.  Let's up she doesn't' get on the board.  We have three seats up, however, and 4 people running so...ugh!

Okay well, that's all I've got.  Spaghetti squash with turkey meatballs for din din tonight...yummy!  Only three more days in my work week.  YIPPEE!!!  K - later!
