Please forgive the long title. I learned to write like that from the artifact descriptions at the King Tut exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. More about that later. :)
I'm so proud of myself; I did something fun every day last weekend! This is a rarity indeed. On Friday, I went to the Rangers game with my friend Katie. (She's my neighbor at school.) Her boyfriend had gotten tickets for them to go with a bunch of his coupled-up friends, but he forgot about his night class. That meant poor Katie was expected to show up and sit with a bunch of people she didn't know! :( After she begged and pleaded and made sad faces at both me and Lisa (another young English teacher at my school), I agreed to go...like she really had to twist my arm to go to a baseball game! ;) Anywho...it was great fun! The Rangers won, and there was a great, FREE fireworks show after. Byron showed up during the 8th inning, so Katie was able to leave with him, and I got to go home instead of out with people I really didn't know.
After my late night, I slept in for once on Saturday. Yay! Deanna says I should do this whenever possible; she thinks I'm sleep-deprived. Once I finally dragged myself out of bed, I spent several hours cleaning and getting ready for our special guests - Mary Beth and Michael! :) They came over Saturday afternoon to spend the night. We cooked a delicious dinner and dessert, and they taught us how to play a card game called Nerts. It was awesome! Even though we were having great hangout time, we all had to turn in early (MB & Michael at 9:30, and 10:00 for Deanna and me) for our big day on Sunday.
At 3:15 Sunday MORNING, we were all up and moving. I threw some cinnamon rolls in the oven while we got ready, and at 4:00 we headed to Dallas with our cinnamon rolls! Last Sunday was the final day of the King Tut exhibit, so the tickets were half-price from midnight until 7:30 AM. Our tickets allowed us to enter between 4:30-5:00. That's right, folks. We were up and being educated at 4:30 on a Sunday morning. It was great fun, though. Practically everyone there was delirious and/or sleep-deprived. Some of us (primarily MB and me) were also appalled. The grammar and punctuation throughout the exhibit was AWFUL. I sure hope those signs won't be used anywhere else! Also, we never got any definite facts about anything. "Maybe" this belonged to King Tut. "Perhaps" this woman was his mom. These vases "might have" been used for a ceremony. There's a "possibility" we were lied to, and nothing in the exhibit had a thing to do with Tutankhamen!!! LOL. We did have a good time, though!
