Now, I took this picture at night using my phone's camera, so the quality isn't real great, but you can still see that this is a very weird sight. I didn't know trees grew that way.

I saw that tree on my way to meet some friends for sushi. In the middle of dinner one of them (the same girl who introduced me as "cupcake" to the Houston PD) decided that it would be a really funny idea if everyone sang happy birthday to me. Somehow, she got the whole restaurant in on it. The waiter even brought us a free dessert. I think that girl thrives on being able to embarrass me in public.

After dinner I came home and wrote an outline for everything I will be teaching this week, including the quiz my kids will be taking on Friday.

All in all I'd say it was a weird night.
