Happy (Birthday) Halloween! Or When Oscar and FelixSwitch Places

She wears heels and dresses and jewelry...Prada sunglasses and has manicured and pedicured nails....I wear shorts or skorts, Converse or Vans, Nike golf shirts with my keys and whistle on a lanyard and ID around my neck....

until Halloween when she was me and I was her.....

and the kids thought it was hilarious...and the principal said it we the best costumes in the history of the school.....now to soak my aching feet!

My Halloween birthday was a hit...one little girl said, "When we were in first grade you told us your birthday was in February."

My answer, "Yes, and this year my birthday is in October."

(It might be more mind boggling if she remembered that in kindergarten my birthday was my real birthday in April....pre-birthday change.)

She just looked at me trying to figure it all out and no one else even gave it another thought....and that was the end of that.

Mileage Update

So I was complaining about the gadgets not working...I have used them every day that I exercise for the past 4 years....putting my totals in the sidebar to motivate myself...and this month, the gadgets suddenly stopped working. I finally found a way to send a concern to blogger...no reply of course but when I tried the gadgets today...WHA-LA! they work!!

I am proud of my running miles this year...I haven't run this many miles since I was in college (way more per month,)...and weighed a lot less and ran 7 and 8 minute miles....but I am twice as old now and feel pretty good at coming in 299/1520 in my age group in the S.F. Nike half marathon.

Halloween is Thursday...I have a very cool costume planned...and it is always a favorite day for me with the kids....I will be sure to post- besides, it's my "birthday!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy almost Birthday to me...this year my school birthday falls on Halloween! Last year it was Valentine's Day!

I grew tired of my birthday at the end of April when Open House, report cards and teacher Appreciation Day all run together with Mother's Day....so I decided, there's no law about changing my work birthday...should have done it years ago! So last year, my birthday conveniently coincided with Valentine's Day and one party day! This year Halloween is the day of choice and my party is part of another. Technically I did have 2 birthdays this year....but the great thing is, I take my real birthday off work and the students don't get cheated out of not celebrating with me...which is a big deal when you are 7 or 8.
