I love the Muppets

I've been watching The Muppet Show Season I DVD all week. Thought this was appropriate.

Swedish Chef! You scored 68 Mood and 71 Energy!

You are happy and energetic. People just love being around you and your infectious energy. You're good at entertaining people without even trying, and you make a mean lutefiske.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 63% on Mood You scored higher than 72% on Energy

Time to Celebrate :)

Happy Halloween!

I'd also like to wish Lola a very Happy Birthday :)

Good weekend :) Friday I went to a party that Ceruleanlobster invited me to. Was a Halloween birthday celebration. Met lots of neat people :) I left around midnight. Jerry didn't go (loser). Although he did say he missed me when he called...anyway. Next time, I'll party all night long.

Saturday, hmm...what fun stuff did I do. OH!! We got a barcode scanner and scanned all our dvd's into DVDProfiler. We haven't uploaded it yet. Still have one more cabinet to scan in. I think we have 351 in the library.

Sunday was spent doing homework and watching the Jaguars lose...again. Their offense really needs to show up to a few games.

I have a Sign Language story due Wednesday. I hope to have it all taped and stuff by tomorrow night. We'll see. Then on Wednesday I have another test in my Orientation to Deafness class. One of my classmates called me today and we were figuring the professor was only there three times since our last test. Doesn't leave me with a good feeling. *shrug* I'll just do my best :)

Why is the rum gone?

Grabbed this off of Hexacorde :)


Duh. You are "But WHY's the rum gone?!"
You're not the smartest one in the bunch, but
you're sweetly appealing and you don't let
disappointment get to you. Everybody
identifies with you, because let's face it, why
IS the rum gone?

My Best friend Lisa always gives the best advice

*ZEN WISDOM OF LIFE*

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Sex is like air -- it's not important unless you aren't getting any.

No one is listening until you fart.

If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away, and you have their shoes.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was worth it.

Don't worry--It only seems kinky the first time.

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Happy Halloween??

Now this is just sad...

I'm feeling much better. I think I had caught some of Jerry's sicky stuff. I slept until 2pm yesterday. I love sleep!!!

We finished the first season of Lost. I can't believe we didn't watch that. We always seem to miss the good shows. Thank goodness for DVD's. That's how I got introduced to Firefly and something else...Oh yea...24. I'm like...lagged or something when it comes to good tv shows.

Today is homework day!! I have to sign a story next week for a big chunk of my grade. I have to use at least 85% of the vocbulary we've learned. You'd think that would be easy. However the story has to make some sense. *shrug* We'll see..hopefully I'll get it.

Shaken, not stirred

Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather

I absolutely love this kind of weather. Give me a sweatshirt and jeans and spank me silly :) Ok...maybe not...but maybe *wink*

I'm tired today. Ended up reading a book In This Sign until 4am . The book isn't due in class until the end of the semester. It was good, but for me to read ahead is, well, unheard of for me. I'm not much of a reader but it was quite relaxing last night. The TV was bugging me and I was freezing last night. (Trying to fight off a cold I think) So I could cuddle under the blanket and read. Was very nice :)

I had cancelled a coffee date for tonight. My tummy isn't feeling so hot. I wish I hadn't cancelled though. I want this friendship to flourish. Ok..I'm rambling...

You wear it well

Poor Jerry is still under the weather. He's been running a fever on and off all day long. Poor thing can't eat anything. I finally got him some saltines. Poor thing says nothing tastes good. I was going to do some laundry but with him puttering around the house he gets in the way. I know, lame excuse but I use whatever I can get. (tee hee hee)

I did get my Peppermint Mocha fix though. To bad I wore some of it right out of the store. I looked like such a schmutz going to class with coffee splashed across my chest. Got some of my tests back in that class. I'm doing amazing in that class as well. Two of my papers came back with 3 extra credit points each. Everything else was 100% correct. Ok..I'm bragging, I'll stop. I just was never this motivated when I went to Central. I guess age really is the key factor.

...I don't get it

Just got done watching Lost in Translation. I don't know what the point was. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood to watch it. I have no clue. I get that they were both lost and that's why they connected. Ah well...

Gray Sunday

Well..It seems Hurricane Wilma and her feeder bands are making Jacksonville a little dreary today. On top of that Jerry is running a fever. He said yesterday he thought he was coming down with something. Weird how we can tell when we are about to be sick. I've given him a HUGE glass of water. Last time he had the flu he ended up in the hospital with dehydration and was unconscious for about two days. That won't be happening again if I have anything to say.

We watched five episodes of Lost last night. We are hooked! I have many friends who keep telling me to watch it but I never did. Now, we can't get enough!

hmm...Not much else is going on. Gonna do some homework, maybe go to the store and get a few things for the week.

Friends Concern

Just had a friend tell me to be careful for impending hurricane. I don't think Jacksonville will be effected however it's nice to get IM's from friends telling me to be careful. I told him I would and he said if I didn't he'd be forced to write poetry...Haiku poetry at that. So this is his creation . (A little taste...)

Hurricane Wilma
They named you after Flinstones
I don't understand.

Deaf and Dancing :)

I just got home from FSDB Homecoming rally. Was pretty interesting. Was funny to see about every third person with a Sidekick on their hip too. I had the chance to see one the other day. I was in Taco Bell and this guy had one so I struck up a conversation and found out that it's about $30 a day which to me seems REALLY cheap. I love technology!!

The girl I went to the rally with is in highschool as well. She was funny. She thought they would look different or something. After I pointed out a few hotties she seemed right at home.

After each class did a skit the dance troope came on and did Michael Jackson's Thriller. I was stunned. They had it down. It was tight. I was impressed!! I wish I could dance like that. Maybe I could. I just need to find the D-Qwon's Dance tape and get my groove!!

Eggs suck

I've been hooked on hard boiled eggs lately. I was buying them from the deli because it was convient. However, they are almost twice the price then fresh eggs and boiling them myself. So I figured last night would be a good time to boil my own. Oof..They don't peel. Have the egg comes off in the peel. Jerry had always done the eggs when he made tuna salad so I never really boiled eggs before. I know..38 and I'm lame. So he told me to put the eggs in a pan, bring them to a boil for 5 minutes and then take them off the heat and let them sit for 20. After that run them under cold water. After trying to peel the eggs I went online and found out that wasn't quite right. I was reading at the American Egg Board that maybe you should cover them. I think I had too much water in the pan too. I think I may go back to buying deli eggs.

Thursday

So yea...not much going on today. Did some picking up around the house and stuff like that. I should be doing laundry but well, I'm not. I did go to the grocery store for eggs and milk. heh...I'm so cliche'

Starbuck's--good coffee...great company!

Got home about 40 minutes ago from meeting an online friend . It was great! She's terrific. I haven't met someone in a long time that I wasn't checking my watch to see how long I had to stay to be polite. I think we would have stayed up all night and talked if both of us hadn't been a little responsible. (which we both agreed sucks at times). I think we covered everything from movies to masturbation. yes....not that we got into details. We aren't that close ..yet! I can see more posts about the adventures of Lola and Jeanne soon.

Lola made me do it!

Porn star name.....

Today was pretty much a nice day. I spent the day playing with dotnetnuke and other modules on my website. I really don't know very much so most of it was guessing and tweaking afterwards. Fun stuff.

After spending way too much time with that I went grocery shopping. No fireman this time. I must have missed them or something. Usually they are right there buying stuff for their dinner. Yum..men in uniforms.

Most of my evening was spent writing my "story" for my ASL class. I don't know really how I'm doing on it. The grammar and structure isn't sinking in. I'm going to ask TONS of questions tomorrow. I think I do better if I write the story in english and translate it. *shrug*

Weekend Review

Thursday:
Flew to Michigan around 9am and got there about 1:30pm-ish. Mom and Dad picked us up and we visited with them for a bit. We were both tired so we ended up napping for about an hour before my brother, Chris and his wife, Kelli showed up for dinner. Mom went over board on the food and Dad made sure the wine glasses were full all night long. Was a great time. We ended up going to bed around midnight because I wanted to get some sleep before the weekend.

Friday:
Got up and did the breakfast thing. Dad let me take his Blazer to CMU so we didn't have to rent a car. Very nice of them to let us use their car. We left Lansing around 11:30 and got to Mt. Pleasant around 1pm. Checked into the hotel and then got some lunch. Poor Jerry had to endure me driving around campus telling him what was where and if I had any classes in that building and stuff like that. Lisa, my college roommate got there around 3pm. We cracked open some beers and then decided to go to the bookstore to buy some college paraphernalia. I got a couple of cute t-shirts. I haven't had college shirts in over 15 years. Was nice to have my alma mater represented again. One by one more of the gang showed up and we reminisce and drank more beer. (lots of beer...) About 7pm everyone arrived and we walked, yes..We are sometimes responsible, over to Bennigans for dinner. Ordered more drinks and had a nice meal while trying to catch up on each others lives. We must have been there for about 3 hours. Was a good meal and we had a good time. After dinner we thought we'd head to the Wayside, a local club and do some dancing. We were going to walk but it was pretty cold and farther then we expected. Jerry wasn't as toasted as us so he drove me and Lisa, the rest of the gang was lagging behind so we just left without them. We paid our $4 and headed into the clones of college kids. All the girls were dressed the same. Low rider jeans, camisole tops and either high heels or flipflops. Was an endless sea of the same girl. We also noticed that they didn't really dance. They kind of tried..And let me stress the TRIED to appear sexy and do some cage dancing. Unfortunately it looked very robotic and not very sensual at all. Guess you can't emit what you don't possess. We left after an hour and headed back to the hotel where everyone was still drinking. They were waiting for us but never could find us so they didn't bother going to the club. No biggie..It was a flop. So more drinking and laughing until around 2am.

Saturday:

7am I get up and a bunch of us head over to the stadium to watch the Marching Band rehearse before the football game. We see more alumni and catch up with all of them. I can't believe how many people actually showed up. So many familiar faces. Was great to see everyone. After rehearsal we packed up all the cars. I think we carted 9 in the blazer, downtown to watch the homecoming parade. We were going to march but we all decided we'd rather drink more beer. So the parade goes by and after the band passes we head into the Pub and order pitchers of beer and order some cheeseburgers. The best, greasiest burgers in the world. 10:30am is never too early for burgers and beer. After filling our tummies we head back to the hotel so we could leave the cars and walk over to the game. Great game, we won 37-10. But the best part, the band and the band alumni. Yes....I'm a band geek. Damn proud of it too!! The only bad thing...It was cold and windy. Ten years in florida has thinned my blood so by the end of the game I was ready to be indoors. I guess the half pint of Hot Damn didn't keep me warm enough during the game. The guys were pretty wiped out. So the wives took off and went shopping. Men relax by watching TV...woman..well...we shop :) 20% off with game ticket was reason enough for us to head to the University Bookstore for more paraphernalia. We headed back and the guys were hungry. So we try to decide where we are going to eat. Ever try getting 17 people to decide where to go? Finally around 8pm we head over to Italian Oven for dinner. Good meal, was quiet so we could all chat and not have to yell to hear each other. Was odd too...the only alcohol that was ordered was wine. We're so old :) :) After dinner we head to Kroger and hit the beer, wine, liquor aisle to head back to the hotel and drink more. We popped in napoleon Dynamite and played drinking games to the movie. My side still hurts from laughing. We all crashed pretty early that night...1am.

Sunday:

9am we all head to Bob Evans for breakfast before we split and head out. Poor wait staff had no clue how to handle us. Needless to say, more laughing and great conversation. We got out of there around 11am and headed back to Lansing to visit with Mom and Dad before getting on the plane to head back to Jacksonville.

It was an amazing weekend. Jerry finally got to meet all my friends. They loved him, he loved them. It was beautiful!!

I love you Animals!! Peace out!

Waiting...

Well, I'm here at CMU. Haven't met up with any of my friends yet. Took Jerry on a quick driving tour of the campus. It has changed a lot. There are buildings I have no clue what they are. I know one of the new buildings is the Music building. Would like to see that, but if we don't make it..no big deal.

Gonna head to the bookstore and look for Central goodies :)

Nine years

Today is my Wedding Anniversary :) We've been married nine years. We've had our moments, even thought it wasn't going to make it at one point. But when I really think about Jerry not being around, my heart sinks. I haven't done anything for nine years. Longest job was six years..that was AOL. Took six years to get my bachelors as well. I have lived in Jacksonville for ten years...but I don't think that counts in this little thingy.

We went to Longhorn for dinner, mostly so I wouldn't have to cook and then load the dishwasher (which he actually helps with most nights). We leave tomorrow for my college homecoming. He's an angel for going. I know this trip is all about me and my friends and for him to tag along must mean he really loves me.

I don't think I'll be logging in this weekend. But you never know. I will be updating my blog because I can take pictures from my phone and upload them from there. Unfortunately my livejournal will suffer. So let me apologize in advance for any inconvience any of my...two readers have :)

FIRE UP CHIPS!!

Just got these :)

Preparing

Things I need to do before I leave for the weekend.

• Laundry


• Look at homework


• Shop for cute stuff to wear


• Pack

Hmm...that doesn't seem like that much to do. Am I forgetting something?

Insomina strikes again...

I don't know what it is. I hate it when I can't sleep. I just got caught up in the movie Garden State. Wow....reminds me of so many people I know. I guess because I've alway had to medicine for my thyroid issues, I don't care to mess with anything else. If I'm depressed..I try to talk it out with myself. My Hashimoto's causes me lots of ...hmm..I guess depression. I've thought about some pretty morbid things and have been numb to life at times. But it never crossed my mind to go on drugs to balance that out. I don't know if that's good or bad. It just is...

So today has been an odd day. Prepare for the run on sentences from hell :) First I get up a little later then I was hoping to. Go to print the two papers I worked on last week only to find that the network is being screwy. So I go to the computer next to me and print from there. I get showered, hardly any hot water because I didn't notice the toliet handle needed to be jiggled so that wouldn't run. I get dress, head out to Weight Watchers. Good class..lost 1.6 lbs decide I'll grab an Arby's Roast beef sandwich on the way to class. Get there..they are out of Roast beef...WTF!!! So I order a BLT (not as good for me cause of the mayo and bread but what the heck). Tweny minutes later I get BLT with no mayo, go up tot he counter and they were going to make me another but I just got mayo packets. Scarf down my lunch and decide I deserve a MMCLF (Mint Mocha Chip Light Frappuccino) from Starbucks. Get cut off in the parking lot and spot my parking spot, had my signal on and this ...well...woman pulls in and in front of me to take the spot. ARGH!! Get my MMCLF and enjoy a few sips and off to class I go. Class was pretty fun today. Reviewing a lot of signs and learned a few new ones. Probably signs that I shouldn't repeat in public. Why do we always want to learn bad words. Ok..they aren't bad but they don't really help me with my projects because I can't really sign that "Sally is into S&M" for credit now can I? One more class to go then I'm home for a relaxing evening. "How I Met your Mother" is on tonight. It's such a cute show. I better log off and read my assignment for my next class. TTFN!

Go Jaguars!

I'm allergic to mornings...

It's 8am on a Saturday and here I am bounding out of bed. I hardly get up this early during the week. I don't get it. I'm sure it's some kind of evil plot. I just can't figure out yet who is the master behind this devilish plot. My cat is the first suspect. Tabitha has taken to one of the other computer chairs in our office. For the last week she has been sleeping in it for hours. Wake up in the middle of the night, there she is. Come home from class, again, in the chair. It's gotten a alittle freaky just how much time she is spending in that chair. Well this morning, she wasn't there. She was in the hallway staring at me as I lay in bed. I tell ya, she's up to something.

I think I might finish my paper in a few minutes. I might as well. I'm awake! :/

Maybe someone will msg me on one of my multiple messenger systems and save me from that. (hint hint)

test

This is a test of new posting software..trying to get it so I can use one thing to post to both this and LJ.

Options

I have been playing all day with Wordpress. A new friend, Matt uses it and said he could update his blog and his LJ at the same time. Well that sounded like a good deal to me. Until I started to install it. Oof...I fancy myself as a pretty bright girl. I configured MySQL server and even put in the proper names of databases and things like that but still it tells me that I haven't installed the server. GAH!! After five hours of piddling I have given up on it. I'll stick with Blogger. My LJ will just have to be the boring place I've made it.

On other news..I've completed one of my papers and am about half way through my second one. I will have these done by tomorrow if it kills me. I won't be able to do my night before scramble because we are going to the Jaguar game sunday night. I miss procrastination... :)

Thursday's To Do:

1. Laundry (ugh)
2. Paper for EHD1000
3. Paper for SPA1602

Realistic to do list:

1. Laundry
2. Play SWG

Guess I'll go start the laundry.

If you can dodge a wrench...

Study, study, study...that's what I do for the first part of my week. Always seems I have lots of homework from Monday's class that is due on Wednesday. I get a reprive today. My second class has been cancelled. The professor is having knee surgery. Well, actually he had it Monday. So he just gave us our assignments last week. No biggie, still have the entire weekend to do that.

Watched Dodgeball last night. I have to say I was amused by the movie. I thought for sure it was going to be terrible. Jerry and I caught ourselves laughing out loud at the silliness of it all. I wouldn't say it's a Lawrence of Arabia, but it was entertaining.

I haven't worked out yet this week. I blame lots of things. Mostly my left shoulder has been acting up and I'm afraid to aggravate it. The other thing is I'm trying to not to waste gas. Last time I filled my tank, $50.80. *sigh*

feeling good

I just got done taking a test and I feel like I did really good on it. There was only one question I didn't know and I think I guessed right. We'll see next week :)

Had a chalupa today from Taco Bell today for the first time. I had a friend who loved them. Thought I'd give them a try and have to say I won't ever have to get another one. I think I'll stick to tacos.

What else...oooo...I watched the movie "Closer" with Natalie Portman, Jude Law and Julia Roberts. I don't know if I hated it or really liked it. It kept my interest for 2 hours but when it was over I felt...well..nothing really. No compassion or empathy...just ...nothing.. Maybe that's the point though.

What a weekend!!

Saturday:

Went and saw Serenity! It was so good. I really hope they do another one. I need more!! I can't believe Fox cancelled Firefly. Jerry was telling me that they preempted a ton of the shows and that's why it didn't fly. I hope those executives are looking for new jobs now.

After the movie I went to the River City Deaf Club as part of my "Homework" for classes. I was nervous. First, I don't do well in new people situations. I'm an observer and don't really jump right in. Second, I don't know enough sign to have any kind of a real conversation. Got there early and met one of my classmates. She brought her boyfriend, best friend and son so at least I had some what of a posse to go in with. Once we got in it wasn't so bad. An elderly gentleman came over and talked to us. He went to deaf school in 1953. He could read lips and sign and could hear a little bit with hearing aides. He made me feel welcomed which is what I needed. After that a few more introductions and a lot of polite smiling. *sigh* I know it will get better as I learn more. Hopefully I won't be as nervous on my next outing.

Sunday:

Jaguars...oof...that was such a terrible game. I can't believe how bad they played. I don't think this upcoming Sunday's game will be sold out. Hopefully the offense will show up for the game this time.

I have a test today in one of my classes so I'm off to get ready and review some notes. (I really don't like studying)
