Last night was the Annual Mr. Eagle pageant, which consisted of a talent show and spirit wear competition. The funds that were collected as admission to the pageant will go the St. Jude's Children's Hospital and all this week the students will be doing a Penny Drive for their favorite candidate from each of the classes (at the pageant the judges decided from two representatives from each class). The guy that raises the most positive points (pennies are positve everything else is negative) wins the title.
One of my co-workers (Tom) and I were the hosts for the evening. We were sponsored by David's Bridal and Duckies Formal Wear. I got my hair done by an alum and borrowed beautiful jewelry from another student. Tom and I had the priviledge of having a gong on stage to gong students off, but did not use it for them. Instead, I actually gonged myself for the terrible joke I told and I hit the gong lightly. Tom decided that it wasn't loud enough and gonged me LOUDLY. The students loved it and the evening was much fun. Although, this morning I've had a killer headache and I don't know it's because I didn't get much sleep or my head is still ringing from the sound of the gong. Regardless, it was a great evening.
Today Sofia and I were getting Lunch ready. I decided we needed to finish the pickles and so I was taking a nice healthy swig of pickle Juice out of the jar. Sofia saw me and asked "What is that?" I told her its pickle juice and its sour,but good. She wanted to try some, so I gave her a drink and she loved it. I was such a proud father. She wanted more and more, but I told her we couldn't have too much. I'm not sure of the pickle juice affect on 3 year olds. I'm sure I'll be more proud of her when she scores her first goal in a soccer game or is Valedictorian, but for today February 19th 2009, we have pickle juice and that's fine with me. Life is full of Baby Steps.
