Happy Medium...

School is extremely busy. I have a chapter due for my final project this coming Monday. A CHAPTER. Have I mentioned that school is overrated lately? Because it is. Anyways due to this chapter, I had a sudden urge on Monday to go to the library to work on my project. Of course the one day(in my entire life) I actually want to go to the library, it is closed due to President's Day.

This morning I headed off to the library to get my work done. In my whole life I have never been the type of person to go to the library. I never went to the library in college until I actually had a class in there my senior year. I forgot until today why I never enjoyed being in the library. When in the library you have to be quiet and most of the time studying. Which I am definitely not quiet and do not enjoy studying.

You know when you are really trying to be quiet because you are in a quiet place, but you end up doing the exact opposite. That was me today at the library. I forgot to turn the sound off on my computer and cell phone. I dropped 5 books. I had a squeaky chair and I am fidgeter, I seriously can't sit still. So every 2 minutes there would be a loud squeak every time I shifted in my chair. It was way too quiet. One thing for sure, I know how to clear out a room. A.K.A. - people at the library hate me. 


My friend suggested to study at a coffee house, but I am a people watcher so I would just end up watching people. 


I need to find my happy medium.

If you have ever wanted to travel back in time, I have found the person for you.  This is a craigslist ad:

I have a functioning time machine (I know it sounds unbelievable, but I assure you it works) that I need a 2nd person to operate with me.
I'm looking for someone who is adventurous and reliable. Preferable a male; or a female that can do heavy lifting.
I am leaving on February 21st, 2011, in the morning and plan to return February 22nd, 2011. I am going to November 1933 to handle some business.
If you are serious about time travel and are reliable, then please contact me. You do not have to pay anything, but you would have to provide someone to watch my cat for the time we are gone. The only qualifications needed are that you are reliable and that the circumferance of your head is no more than 64cm.

We will be leaving from Brandon, MS. Let me know if you want to go with me. 

I just thought I would make your friday more interesting. 

Things I find interesting:

1. He prefers a male or female... Is there another option out there that I am not aware of?

2. What unsettled business does he need to take care of from November 1933?

3. How does he know it works? If it works this means he has tried it before. If he is looking for someone to go with him this time, this means he had someone go with him last time. What happened to that other person? 

4. Not only is he looking for someone to time travel with him, he is also asking this person to find someone to watch his cat. Does he not know anyone to watch his cat? Does the cat really need to be watched for a day? I think it will survive.. 

5. What happens if your head has a bigger circumference (which he spelled wrong) than 64cm?

If you are interested here is the link. Just a word to the wise there was a craigslist killer, there could be another. 

Bug...

I was washing dishes tonight and out of the corner of my eye I see a HUGE completely black insect flying around my kitchen. I have never seen anything like it. It was like a fly, but had the longest legs like a grand daddy long leg. It was really fast when it was crawling on my wall, but when it flew it would fly like a bee. (You know, not extremely fast and it would zig-zag it's little living self around my kitchen) In the South we are known for the flies and mosquitos. Therefore, I have killed a few in my day and it doesn't bother me at all to do it again. (The only thing I freak out about are geckos, insects are simple)

Killing the insect was not an issue. Two hard slaps with my flip flop and it was dead, but I can't figure out what it is.

If you have any idea, I would appreciate it. As of now, after my research I believe it is a Hawthorne fly. But it looks to small to be that.

Food Pyramid...

Since multi-tasking is not a skill I lack, I was shopping and talking on the phone at the same time. I had gotten everything on my shopping list except for the granny smith apples.

Why do grocery stores feel the need to put food in pyramids?

I feel like my grocery store puts all the food that could fall into pyramids in the middle of the produce section, instead of the chilled shelfs against the wall. I had already gotten my potatoes and onions from a pyramid without trouble so I was confident that picking a couple of apples would not be an issue.

Little did I know that the apples had other plans.

Naturally, I went for the apples on top of the pyramid first but of course they had some bad spots. While continuing to talk on the phone, I carefully moved the apples around to find some good apples. Finally, I found one good apple to put in my cart. When is one of anything ever enough?

I went back to grab my second apple and all my mom heard on the other line of the phone was me saying, "OH gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh!! The apples are falling everywhere!" Green apples were flying everywhere. I felt like I was in a movie because apples were rolling under people's grocery carts, rolling between people's legs, and halfway across the store. Not sure of what to do next, I stood there for a second to see if anything would happen. I looked around expecting a grocery store worker to say something to me and realized no one had even noticed what had just happened. People were walking around the store grabbing their produce like any other day. How do you not see green apples all over the floor?

I picked the apples up and put them on an empty cart, so I didn't have to put them back on the pyramid. One would think I had just learned my lesson and wouldn't go back to the apple pyramid. However, I hadn't gotten my second apple. I went back to get my second apple and couple apples shifted. I decided to take the hint and walk away.

Valentine...

Happy Valentine's Day!

My Valentine is half way around the world, but it doesn't mean that I can't send a little love his way.

"We've got real chemistry"

"You're Just My Type"

"I Only Have Eyes 4 You"

"I'm Going Bananas Over You"

"You're The Cheese To My Macaroni"

To My Mom:

I like you 'cause
you like me  
and you don't like 
much.

(Get it... peanut butter and jelly) 

To My Daddy:

To My Sister:

Not really sure what this means. But I am sure you do. 

To My Dad and Sister:

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Know that you are loved halfway around the world!

(All these cards found here)

Happy Birthday...

Today is David's Birthday!! I wish I could be there to celebrate, but we will have plenty more to celebrate together!

Happy Birthday! I love you! 

Just a Thought...

I found this quote when I first started my job. I was still learning how to be a boss and how to manage a program. Stress has never been really an issue for me. I have found through the years that I am more stressed out during a football game than I ever have been in school or work. However, this job was different because I was actually in charge.  I was extremely frustrated one day and saw this quote.

"Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

It's true. No matter how bad of a day you had, someone else had a worse day than you. The quote just reminded me that instead of dwelling on the negative, I needed to focus on the blessings that God has provided for me. 

Just a little reminder to not worry about the small things.

I love this commercial and think this is the way life should be. (I'm a hippie at heart)
