a week (or so) in pictures

i began the week feeling somewhat "strapped down"
like i was tied into something i couldn't escape...
(like our futon? we were moving it back to our house from megan's)

but then i quit my job, and while it was stressful, it went ok. the cloudy, rainy weather made it easy to want to stay inside and cook...

so i made a really yummy butternut squash soup. it was awesome comfort food, and that's what i really needed during the longest week ever. i'm pretty sure andrew liked it (and the fact that i cooked a lot this week) too.


but this friday, we were all able to cut loose. the "under 40 crew" of high school teachers went out to watch lisa (english 2&3) and her band sing at 42nd street oyster bar. not pictured are lisa, amy, andrew or me... but craig really got into it and put on heather's headband. he wasn't so happy about the re-inactment photo-op :-P

and apparently "tequila makes heather's clothes fall off" because not only did craig get her headband, but i got her shirt! i'm pretty sure this face is in reaction to craig's new look.
we had a great time seeing lisa sing, dancing our butts off, and i even got a little tipsy and did the first shot i've done in about a year - teachers gone wild!

i guess for me, it was fun to embrace this persona for at least one last hurrah. it'll be back to being an hourly paid peon technician in a few short weeks... no regrets, but definitely some adjusting is coming. happy weekend!
