things that make you go yum

today at school the children and i were talking about termites

i explained to them that termites like to eat wood

ofcourse that information just fascinated rex so he spent the most part of the afternoon asking me if the termites will eat the desk or the shelves because it is made out of wood. anyway i told rex not to worry because termites prefer dead, rotting wood, and i said our tables are not old or rotting. he asked me what does rotting wood look like, so i i said it loses it's color and it becomes very dark, almost black. well at the end of the day while i was busy giving a lesson, rex comes up to me and tells me that he has blonde hair and blonde is not a color, i nodded and said you are completely right rex. then he comes closer and tells me nicole you have black hair, your hair looks like dead wood.

that was the punchline, my hair looked like DEAD WOOD.

thanks rex!

today was a very bad food day for me

for breakfast i had scrambled eggs (3), 3 pieces of butterscotch and nesvita (chocolate malt flavor)

it was no that bad but the butterscotch threw me off

i didn't make lunch so i thought i was just going to grab a sandwich

then when i went to the staff room someone brought cake and pork buns

so ofcourse i just had to eat it.

i had 2 slices of cake, 1 pork bun, 1 fortune cookie, and 3 pieces of peanut candy

for dinner a friend of mine took me to this italian restaurant downtown

and since i only had junk for lunch i was starving

i ate 5 pieces of bread, canneloni stuffed with chicken, sundried tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms, soaked in bechamel sauce with ricotta and parmesan cheese and then i wasn't satisfied i had to order dessert and i chose a zabaione which is made with egg yolk, sugar and sweet wine with different kinds of berries

it was so good, i was tearing up while devouring my dinner

however after the buzz, i came crashing down

let's just say very guilty is an understatement
