Birthday weekend!

It's Sunday and I'm at work, it will never feel normal... Bon Jovi this week, I could not be more excited! The concert is down at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi and apparently we are taking one of the school buses down at 5:00, the concert starts at 9:00, I'm hoping I don't melt. Outdoor weather is officially over, it's freakishly hot, temperatures have been as high as 109 degrees and the humidity is unbearable. The weekend was great, we went to Barasti for Kim and Mark's birthdays on Thursday evening. I went for a ridiculously hot run with the running club on Friday morning, it was over 90 degrees at 6:00 in the morning and we ran till 9:00, I think it was a little over 100 degrees and humid by the time we finished. I honestly thought I was going to pass out.

We had a girl's lunch for Kim's birthday at The One and Only Royal Mirage, it is definitely my favorite hotel in Dubai. It cracked me up because while Jesse and I were heading to the hotel, I got one text from Kim that said, "It's nice here" and then about 30 seconds later I got one from Jess that said, "Prepare to sweat." I was cracking up! We ended up moving to the inside for our lunch, honestly, it was probably 105 degrees and humid, too hot for outdoor dining. Later that night Caroline hosted a surprise birthday cake party for Kim, it was hilarious, when Caroline called Kim to come over and help her with something, Kim walked in with her pajamas on and was very surprised to say the least. I took a personal day on Wednesday, I figure I will be too exhausted to work after the big night out... I also am pretty much done working for the year. I am so disgusted with administration that I can't deal. I was telling a co-worker who got hired for the high school position and she just said, "wait till that gets out...". Whatever.
