 We had a fun night last night w Fuzzy1 and HoneyB at Kings Island Winterfest. Cold A F but fun. HoneyB was dazzled by all the lights and music + the rides. She was disappointed that the major roller coasters were not open, but...the occasional high winds issues would not make that a good idea. The mini-coaster, the "spooky" ride, carousels, antique cars and bumper cars were all functioning, and we rode them all. She is truly one of us in that she loves to ride rides! No fears! The parade was impressive. Not as grandiose as a DisneyWorld/Land parade but comparable in many ways because of the music, costumed characters, floats and even audience participation.
It was a fun way to kick off Xmas Vacation.

I picked up a Zumba subbing gig at the Rec Center for 10 AM today. Yay!
Generous tutoring mom paid me $100 as a gift on top of my usual 1-hour fee, which was so nice.
The school's PTO this year totally ditched the education aides (moi + 3 others) and only gave their gift cards to Amazon to "regular" teachers. WTF? My dept head got wind of this and the reg staff took up a collection to give us aides a little something in the way of a gift card. Ever since I have worked for this district, aides have received gift cards in the range of $75. Guess we aides were lucky to get $40 this go-round.
