...Prozac anyone? (Rated slightly PG)

So I have a slight case of the doldrums... lots going on, but all in a pretty boring/normal kind of way ... soooo not too much to talk about.

So here is another funny... swiped from an email my sis sent me...


* Life is sexually transmitted.

* Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

* Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

* Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

* Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

* Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

* All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism..

* Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $0.30?

* In the '60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

* We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America , but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

*When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.

Pick up a turd... by the CLEAN end?!

So I am supposed to be being productive.... but instead I am cruising Facebook and updating my blog. In an ode to that, I am totally plagerizing something my cousin Matt had as a status. It was too good to pass up...


"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." Unknown author

Well said, Mr. Anonymous Author. Two Thumbs Up!

Twilight Saga = My Personal Brand of Crack

And so... I am off to finish my Christmas shopping... hopefully by noon... so I can go see New Moon at 12:20 by myself... aka without children.

Maybe now that I will have seen both movies... and read all 4 books... twice... I'll be able to continue sampling my friend H.'s brand of crack and try to learn to knit.

Yeah! I Passed!

I thought I failed...But I passed!

...my certification test to officially be a CNA, certified nursing assistant.

Really it's not rocket science, but people tend to get tripped up on the skills exam by forgetting small steps. You are tested on handwashing and 4 other random skills out of about 25 possibilities.

I missed a couple little steps on one of the skills. You have to pass all 5 skills to pass the exam...

I thought that I had NOT passed as my group was waiting for our results...

But I did it!!

I just feel... relieved...

one more step towards my chosen career is out of the way.

Woo Hoo!!

Can't wait to get back in school in August!

Help! I've Been Bitten!

Yes... I've been bitten. And it's not pretty.

Bitten by the vampires of Twilight. It's quite pathetic actually.

We bought the movie last week at the request of Rob; he wanted to see it again before New Moon came out. He has read all the books. Jake has read Twilight and New Moon.

So... I watched it, prettymuch out of parental obligation... but partially to see what the heck the big deal was.

I can't say it was AWESOME!! or anything, but it did hook me in enough that I wanted to read the book.

Coincidentally, Jake won a New Moon triviacontest the next day at school...
The prize: Twilight, in paperback.

That was Wednesday at 3 pm. It's now Monday at 11:45 am, and I have puchased AND READ the all 4 volumes of the Twilight Saga. That's two thousand, four hundred, and forty-four pages in less than 6 days, with 2 work shifts, Thanksgivings, and a little sleep in there.

Ahhhh... my own personal brand of heroin.

(Needless to say, nothing else much got done all weekend... much to My Love's consternation.)

Rob saw New Moon over the weekend; I promised Jake I'd take him soon, at least sometime over Christmas break.

Now it's time for some catch-up housework... while Twilight is on in the background of course!

PA. THE. TIC.

Thanks For Today - The Power of the Pooch

Maybe my Thanks For Today should be something quite profound on the day before the actual Thanksgiving holiday, but today I am thankful for my dog. I considered myself more of a "Cat Person" until about 7 years ago, when I had a couple cats that really liked to urinate on my furniture. Having to get rid of my living room couches was a pretty quick "Cat-Person CURE."

My husband let me pick out a beagle puppy for a wedding gift. And even though my puppy Zeke has been a real pain in the hiney many times, he has still converted me into a definite "Dog Person." Zeke kind of annoys my sister, so it was especially funny when she sent me this video. It's kind of cute and cheesy, but also.... profound... and illustrates why I am such a sap for my dog.



Some people would argue that cats are like this too, but cats are very prone to PMS-y kinds of random crabbiness. Dogs just love.

Pay it Forward...as promised

Here's the deal... this is a blogging Pay it Forward. One of my former posts (maybe in March?)tells you how much I love the movie, but this idea actually came from my dear friend H.... who got it from someone else... and so on.

The first 3 people to put comments on this post will receive a handmade gift from me within the next 6 months. The recipients then each post a similar "Pay It Forward" post and likewise give handmade gifts to 3 people, within a designated timeframe of their choosing.

Woo Hoo! Let the gift-o-rama begin!

(H, I can't wait to get my socks!)
