Hello Cold

It got to 60 degrees randomly on Friday. Today the high was 36. Wow.

Being warm over being cute got me in trouble today as all the teachers looked cute for a dinner I was unaware of at a wedding convention center. So...it was a school dinner not a wedding but I was def like way under dressed. Maybe I'll learn to have a personal standard of dressing better than I have...so that means I have to change my sleeping habits. Grumble grumble**

Green Eggs and Ham with a sunrise, please.

I got up early enough the day after me birfday to take some sunrise pictures. Unfortunately, being in a metropolitan city has some disadvantages to scenery...but here goes...

These are some students for my winter camp. We watched the Dr. Seuss "Green Eggs and Ham" on Youtube. I had them make a cover page for the book.

These are my free sunglasses from Itaewon. I love hearing "service."

My birthday with my aunt and uncle...

Written Friday night, 01/30/2009:

I ate chicken flautas at a restaurant on base in Seoul with my aunt tonight. We were totally stuffed...like a little past the max...and we were so ready to go back to the house. And it took forever to get the check...why? We looked over a couple tables and saw the server lighting a blue candle on this huge fish bowl sized cup full of cake pieces and whipped cream...ugh..."please don't bring that to me" I hoped.

My aunt said, "No, I think it's for another table." Sure enough...maracas busted out and the server asked the other guests to sing along..."Happy....Dear Lae-bay-kah! Happy Birthday to you."

Wow...too much food...and then more? It was sweet of them. So we scooped out a serving then gave the rest to a table of men who helped sing along. Ha...I'm still feeling stuffed 6 hours later...

Then on January 31, 2009 we ate a better birthday cake after a delicious Cincinnati Chili Spaghetti something or other...it was a meat sauce sghetti so that was yummy.

I found this just now on facebook.

Coffee and Style

So I'm finally checking out that little coffee shop near my apt. I'm drinking a blueberry latte. I am using the wireless internet they have...I need dinner. I just ate a taco in Hongdae like 2 hours ago...my friend, Munachimso, had a good idea about a cute dress and so...after dinner I copied her and got one in the color "sangria." I'm going to wear it for my week late birthday celebration on Friday.

Note the french words on the cup!

I'm going to try to lesson plan, work on my TESL course, finish the last 30 pages of "The Shack" that I left unread from July/August.

It finally got to 50 degrees Fahrenheit today while we played pickup in a park by the World Cup Stadium in Seoul. I do say that ultimate is a lot more fun when you can run. But good to be out with all the fun people again. Okie dokie.
