The cotton candy lady

Today was a blast. I went with my students to the Museum of Natural History in NYC. It was pretty tiring having to walk around the ginormous museum and chaperon over 50 kids (2 classes combined), but it was a really cool experience.

Lunch time, on the other hand, was the turning point for me. In the morning, before we got off the bus, I decided to leave my lunch bag on my seat, thinking we would come to the bus to eat later on, but that didn't happen. We actually had lunch in the museum's cafeteria--where I watched everyone eat turkey, ham, & roast beef sandwiches on rolls, with a side of chips, fruit, and a soda. Fortunately, I collected all of the fruit that the students paid no attention to and ate 2 apples. By this point I was starving and exhausted. The last meal I ate was around 6:45/7am, so by 12pm my stomach was begging for food. The apples carried me over until 2:30 when we got back in the bus--then I ate my sandwich and carrots & celery. The celery made me sick, I don't know why, but I felt like I needed dipping sauce. Maybe it's cause the celery was just not cuttin' it for me after being so hungry??? What ever the case, I felt wayyy better after eating.

I forgot to mention, before we got into the bus, there was this woman selling Cotton Candy for $1 each bag. So of course all of my students were yelling, "Can we buy cotton candy!? Please Please!" I gathered a bunch of them and they bought this lady out of almost all her bags. I know she was happy. Out of no where, she comes over to me and hands me a free bag of cotton candy! This must only happen when I'm on a detox, cause normally when Im broke, I cant find a friend whose got money to loan me, never mind give me. But I just think it was so funny that she handed it to me-- she must of seen the deprived look in my eyes as I watched all the kids suck on their blue fingers.

So now Im home, ate dinner like 40 mins ago. Im craving ice cream--chocolate or strawberry banana fro yo. Its not a severe craving, but I feel like I'd enjoy a nice cold sweet treat right baout now. Ahhhh, 19 more days to go...
stay tuned
