My weekend was pretty awesome.
I took Friday off, my first day off of the elementary since I started in September. And I HATED missing a day too!! But we woke up early to make the 4 hour trek up to the Ski Haus. We then enjoyed some skiing at Boyne Highlands with Andy's work buddies. The weekend was pretty much filled with lots of drinking and skiing. Isn't that how Sony Bono died? You can actually, for free, get these warming huts on the ski hill. Like RIGHT on the ski hill. They had barbecues so we had a chef/co-worker of Andy's make us delicious brats and burgers which we washed down with lots of beers.
However, it snowed like a mofo on Saturday night. This meant that our trip back was less than fun. It took us 6 hours and the highway was CLOSED down up in Grayling/Gaylord area. Lucky we had the GPS I got Andy for Xmas that helped lead us in the right direction.
Then we hooked up with the same people to attend a fully catered fully beered Super Bowl party. Andy and I bought a few dollar squares and we both won!! I won at the end of the game and Andy won at the end of the 3rd. Fifty bucks richer. Go us.
My lead teaching begins next Monday and I'm busy as a whore planning these units. I get to teach poetry. I always remembered hating poetry, but I think that was just when I was older. Kids LOVE it. Lucky for me. :)
