who said college rocks?!?


Okay, I've changed my position on the college thing. It sucks.

In psych class I have a research report to write and a cumulative final to study for. In education I have a non-cumulative, 1/2 semester final to take, a lesson plan to construct, a paper discussing my own education philosophy to write and my resume to revise for submission. I've got the outline for the psych paper and the works cited page pretty well done. Today I finish the first draft and start on my resume. The paper has to be done for Wednesday. I hope to finish the resume by Friday. The tree will be next weekend. That'll give me 2 weeks to finish the education papers and several days to study for the exams. Before, I was always smiling. I'm still smiling, although now it's through gritted teeth.

But, the good news is that I got about 1/2 of my christmas shopping done yesterday. I'll place an online order (bulk orders get you free shipping!) tomorrow that will get me 3/4 done. I bought beautiful christmas cards. I want to write a brief note to stick in the card too.

A little christmas fun

15 Things to do while christmas shopping when your spouse/partner is taking their sweet time:

1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and see what happens.

5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?

9. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti- depressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"

And last, but not least!

15. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and then very loudly yell, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

Thanks for the chuckle, Mom. Great way to start a turkey day.

Going to the in-laws for dinner today. Get to drive thru the rolling hills covered with a fresh snow. :-)

Back from vacation


Just got back from a few days visiting family. Took one day to go to my favorite city... Pittsburgh. I love that city. If I were to ever consider pulling a reverse Green Acres, I'd move to Pittsburgh.

I got to roam around the Carnegie Museum of Art for several hours. I sat in front of Monet's The Water-Lily Pond for 20 minutes. It was so peaceful. There was also very cool Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition and an impressive photo exhibition titled, "Witness to the Fifties: Selections from the Pittsburgh Photographic Library."

Unfortunately, I didn't find #7 and I endured listening to them loose the game as I drove home Sunday.
