Ok, so I pick Monica up around noon for our adventure. Average drive....nothing really going on. Tree here....cotton there. When all of a sudden out of nowhere came...................(duh duh duuuhhhhh) Lane Peach Plant!!! Home of oh so yurmmy home made peach soft serve ice cream! Or cobbler with icecream on top in Monica's instance.
Well no one told her to eat hers like there would be no tomorrow. So who's fault is it when she ate her's and I have over half my ice cream left. She was seriously aggrivated bc she wanted more and I was slow. Case prooven when I put down my cup that I THOUGHT was empty and she licked it!!! Surprised.......sad to say....no.
Fast forward.......we pass the nice wonderful prison about 3 miles from where we are staying. Where are we staying you might wonder? The oh so loverly Little Ocmulgee State Park and lodge. Lodge? ehhhh a little stretch. Come on! Where's the hot tub?!?! Anywho.......We check in and head to our first meeting.
First meeting:
Like all educational gatherings we start with the dreaded, "Get-To-Know-You", activity. "HI, my name is Jaime, and I teach 2nd grade at MLK in Columbus". Woot Woot! ( that was my own personal shout out to me) After we proceed to make name badges out of cedar chips with twine and stampers. So we looked like doofs with cookies hanging around our necks smelling like gerbils!!! Classic! Well, then we are turned loose for and hour to explore trails until dinner.
Monica and I set off for whichever trail has no people on it. Monica also lets me know that if Hannibal Lechter were to find us on the trail she would proceded to trip me and run while I am being eatten....gotta love a true friend. We did find a really pretty dock with two people fishing . That was about it. Monica played for a bit on the playground. Gave me a few laughs before heading back for dinner.
Dinner consisted of chicken tenders with baked potato for me and chopped serloin with tater for Monica. We te WAY too much!
Oh wait! The worst part! So we walk into the resteraunt and I tell Monica, "Grab that table with two chairs there." As we are pulling out our chairs, one of the other teachers from the project invites us to sit with her and two others. i was fully ready to sit my hineybutt down at the table for two, but noooooooooooo we had to go to the table of doom!! THX MONICA!! During our dinner, conversation ranged from two of these women not fitting into size XL underwear bc their luggage was lost during an expedition to the Galopagos Islands....to one woman who I will refer to as liar teacher who held 7 diferent certifications which enabled her to land a job teaching special ed. in Hawaii. While in Hawaii liar super teacher recieved her massage therapy certification which enabled her to be "selected" to train in London with the Queen's masseuses (however you spell massage ppl!). Not quite sure how she left the Queen to teach in good ol' GA. Super liar teacher.....you make me doubt your truthfullness....even if you say you have pictures to proove it.
That takes us to session 2. Session 2 lasted from 7-9. And I swear all I heard was, " Waa waa waa waaaaa tortoise....waa waa waaa waaaaaa long leaf pine". I woke Monica up twice! No Lie! And here we are now....9:30 and sooo tired and ready for bed. And I don't care! Bring on the age jokes! Bite my tail bc I have to be on a bus with 25 tree huggers at 7:00 in the morning. So until next time....See ya on the flip side! (fine print) no offense was to be made for anyone who hugs a tree. The term was used loosely and probably incorrectly....PEACE OUT!!!

See what cedar chip fumes will do to you?
Those who can do and those who can't teach (except Monica and Jamie, the exceptions that prove the rule)
