It's Monday...and it's random

Happy Monday friends!! Some random things to tell you about...in list order, so this post won't be a complete hot mess:

1. My friend posted a link to this website on her Facebook the other day and it. is. HI-larious! I don't really understand the whole Ryan Gosling "hey girl" phenomenon, but these are specially for teachers...so if you're not a teacher, you probably won't get any of them! But if you are lucky enough to share in the same great profession as me, here are some of my faves:

Bahahahha...I'm dying. Please don't think I'm weird if you don't find these as hilarious as I do.

2. We are closing on OUR HOUSE tomorrow! YAYayayayayay! I'm so excited!!! And then we MOVE this weekend! OMG!!!! I will literally PAY someone to move my stuff for me; I hate moving so much! I just want all of my stuff to magically appear at my new house! :) But, I am looking forward to not have to move for a very, very, very, VERY long time after that!

3. Speaking of the new house, once we move, I will be less than a mile away from this:

YES. 

That would be some deliciousness from the the *brand new* TCBY that Kathryn took me to Friday night--it is literally down the street from our new house. Like, I can walk there. This could get very dangerous!

4. Some recipes I've whipped up recently:

Chicken with Olives and Lemon

Szechuan Chicken Stir-Fry

And tomorrow, I'm planning on making this:

Shrimp with Lemon-Saffron Rice

I've been trying to work my way through the January issue of Cooking Light! So many good recipes in there! Well, I make it following the recipe, then Trav comes into the kitchen and adds some of whatever he thinks the recipe needs! He's so good at that! He always knows how to make it better! :)

5. Last, but not least, how could I forget to mention another important birthday today?! It's the birthday of my fabulous sexy girlfriend/bridesmaid/chica from high school (we go wayyy back!), Dana!! 

{I was feeling kind and put a more recent pic of us...no awkward high school pictures here!}

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIRTY DANA!!!! :)
