13. Tell Your Children Over Dinner, 'Due To The Economy, We Are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go.'

And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity

14. PICK UP A BOX OF CONDOMS AT THE PHARMACY, GO TO THE COUNTER AND ASK WHERE THE FITTING ROOM IS.

A funny to get you through the day

I realized that I needed a pick-me-up and thought I would share what I found. These are cute sayings that I just had to laugh at. Some are soooo true!


1 . My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he
was God and I didn't.

2. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

3. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
(agree)

4. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke. (I never had a handle
on life...)

5. Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

6. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.(They are called undergrads...and don't be jealous)

7. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

8. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

9. I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.

10. Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

11. NyQuil, the stuffy, sneezy, why-the-heck- is-the-room- spinning
medicine.

12. God must love stupid people; He made so many.

13. The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

14. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps. (Amen, preach on!!)

15. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? (Frequently)

16. Being 'over the hill' is much better than being under it!

17. Wrinkled Was Not One of the Things I Wanted to Be When I Grew up.

18. Procrastinate Now!

19. I Have a Degree in Liberal Arts; Do You Want Fries With That? (A friend gave me this one)

20. A hangover is the wrath of grapes.

21. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.

22. Stupidity is not a handicap. Park elsewhere!

23. They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

24 . He who dies with the most toys is nonetheless DEAD. (Sad but true kiddies)

25. A picture is worth a thousand words, but it uses up three thousand
times the memory.

26 . Ham and eggs...A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment
for a pig. (I seem to recall a vball quote about this one, but I could be wrong)

27. The trouble with life is there's no background music. (I just hum my own)

28. The original point and click interface was a Smith & Wesson.

29. I smile because I don't know what the heck is going on.

That was a good one to end on right? Just fake it, but remember to smile!

Time

I just realized that I live in a bubble.

No, really, I do.

I know jokes are made about grad students living at school and grad students having no concept of time but they are only funny because they are true. Since I have come to grad school, I have no sense of time. I have pulled more "all-nighters" then when I was in undergrad. And the crazy thing is I don't really call them "all-nighters". They are just work. (I hope you can follow me here) I remember the strain or the stress that these things would pose. I mean staying up ALL night...come on...and studying during that time? Crazy?! But now, that is in the past. Staying up all night to run an experiment because that is the only time available to use said instrument is not stressful but just pitiful. Or having to stay late (I am calling 3-4 am late) due to the fact that the instrument was throwing a hissy fit and wouldn't work during the day like any normal human being would. Also, this weekend business, what is that. I come in to work once or twice a weekend probably two of the four weekends in a given month. And these are not just rush in and change something on the stir plate visits (or at least the majority aren't), these are make up samples or run samples visits. I treat up-interrupted weekends as holidays. Oh and forget scheduled holidays. Which brings me to the fact that I just realized the Monday was a federal holiday and MU didn't have class. I bring this up because I was here and it was just another work day for me. Most of you are probably thinking well, duh, I had to work too. That isn't the point. I didn't even realize that I could've had the day off. I actually had to look at a calendar today to figure out what day it was and what date it was. Like I said time has no meaning to me. I just am.

I wonder what the 'real' world will be like?

I wonder if I will miss my bubble?

They say ignorance is bliss, hmm, well I guess one day I will find out.

I found the cutest little email forward, but instead of forwarding it around to everyone, I thought I would just post it here. Enjoy!

HOW
DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

-You
got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she
should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip
coming.

-- Alan, age
10

-No person
really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it
all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck
with.

--
Kristen, age 10

WHAT
IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Twenty-three
is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by
then.
--
Camille, age 10

HOW
CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to
guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same
kids.
--
Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR
MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Both don't want any
more kids.
--
Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO
ON A DATE?

-Dates
are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even
boys have something to say if you listen long enough..
--
Lynnette, age 8
(isn't
she a treasure)

-On
the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them
interested enough to go for a second date.
--
Martin, age 10

WHEN
IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

-When
they're rich.
--
Pam, age 7

-The
law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with
that.
- -
Curt, age 7

-The rule
goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids
with them. It's the right thing to do.
-
- Howard, age 8

IS
IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

It's
better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up
after them.
--
Anita, age 9
(bless you child )

HOW
WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET
MARRIED?

There
sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't
there?
--
Kelvin, age 8

And my personal favorite...

HOW
WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell
your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump
truck.

Ricky, age 10

Hope I gave a chuckle or two.

New Camera!

So Santa got me a ditigal camera for christmas! I have wanted one for a while but always convinced myself that I really didn't NEED one right now. I had other things I needed more and it was a toy. Well santa said that since I was a good girl this year, I could have a camera. Sorry to say the family paid the price. I went a little camera happy on christmas day. Here are a few of my favorites. And yes, I realize that they are of dogs. But Dice and Bailey are just sooo cute!

This is them passed out in the middle of the floor of the living room. They were crazy the first day, goin non stop and then...boom...they were down for the count.

This is pretty much the picture the whole time. Bailey has a little bit more energy than Dice. Okay that is a minor exagaration. She has a LOT of more energy. But anywho, aren't they cute.

So, I haven't written on this for a while. Sorry, I have been trying to write up a thesis. Do you know how hard it is to write and sum up four and half years of your life. Not only do you have to sum it up, you have to sum it up intelligently. It Sucks! I am. firstly, not a good writer. I am a great orator. (I speak good talk) Give me a subject and I can bore you talking about it, however, that does not transfer to writing. I can't seem to get anything down that I really want to say. Also, I can't get across what I want to say. It is soooo frustrating. Right now I am working on half of my thesis. Since my thesis will consist of two completely different topics, I essentially have two theses with some sort of connecting chapter (heaven help me with that) to wrap it all together. So anywho, enough ranting...

I am getting ready to go home. I have a dentist appt. tomorrow and then Mom and I are going to get our nails done and just enjoy the day together and I wont have to think about flourescence until I get back!! Yeah!!

wish us luck...

fun acapella

So I was sent a few links to some really good acapella groups. I thought I would share the few I liked. The first is an awesome blast to the past.



This one also gives 'props' the past and a really excellent movie!



And the last has to do with the Christmas season. Its a tie between the first and this one for the best! I hope you all enjoy!
