4 and half hours of wii....A new record! :)

Yesterday I was sitting at home cleaning out my CLOSET...BLAH!.... when Joy texted asking if I would go out shopping with her for a bit! Obviously I chose shopping over cleaning my closet!!! lol! I brought my two left sandals hoping that the store would have a right sandal in the back :(. At least I had prepared myself for disappointment....they didn't have any. I had bought the sandals a couple of months ago & didn't have the receipt and was also told they were final sale when I bought them so i figured I would just be taking my 3 dollar sandals home & throwing them in the garbage :(. But I got lucky, the cashier told me I could go and pick out something for the same price! :). It was nice of her because she could have just made me take my two left shoes home;)! Joy & I then went to McDonalds where she managed to somehow keep biting her lip instead of her food...lol! Poor Joy! I have sure been making use of the $1 iced coffees from McD's! YUM! :) After all this fun I REALLY didn't feel like going to work, but it was a good night as usual! :). Ha ha I have one student who makes excuses for EVERY possible THING you can think of! Sometimes it's funny...other times, not so much! Last night we were getting her ready for her piano exam which is in a couple weeks so we were doing clapbacks! I said "I will play this for you and you clap it back" (We have practiced these many times before and never had a problem) Well yesterday I played, and she clapped back...SOOOOO quietly that I could hardly even hear it. Ha ha. So I told her "You have to clap so that I CAN hear you!" And she said "I can't clap!" I said "What do you mean you can't clap? We have done this before. Did you forget how to do these?" She said "No, I know WHAT to clap, I just CAN'T clap! It hurts my hands to clap, so this is how I always clap." FOR REAL? ....lol. So we had a little clapping lesson and another little lesson on "we aren't going to lose points on your exam for an excuse like that!" Lol...I have heard more excuses from this girl in the last year than I have used in my ENTIRE LIFE! ha ha ha! Excuses like.... "My shirt is too tight for me to sing." "I can't sin because I have to burp." "I can't play on this piano....it's different." ...etc...
Last night was my last time teaching one of my students since soccer season is starting for him. The only way he gets two treats is when he practices, otherwise he only gets one. Last night since it was his last lesson I told him he could take two treats. He said "But I didn't practice!" I said "I know but today I will give you two because it's our last lesson." So he took two and said "ummmm....do I have to pay you for these?" ha ha ...my students make me laugh! Last night after work Alyssa came over. We played wii for FOUR AND A HALF HOURS!!!! I have never EVER played wii for that long at once. My thumb actually HURTS today from holding the controller. That ...is...sad....BUT IT SURE WAS FUN :)!!!!!
