Interesting Fact

Did you know that "forty" is the only number spelled out in English that has the letters in alphabetical order?

Compulsive Blog Checker

Remember those descriptions people used to put on thier away messages about "Compulsive Away Message Checkers"? Those people who would check the away message of every person on thier buddy list at least 15 times a day?

I think this applies quite well to blog checking. Some people become obsessed with blog checking...they must be one of the first to know what every person on thier Looooooooooooong blog list has noted. This is facilitated much more easily when they have equipped their lists with the "updated" note next to the blog name...so that they will know immediately when someone has made an update.

Do I fall into this category? Well let me just ask....does any one want to share with me how to add the little "updated" note next to my blog names?

Quote

So I was watching Cash Cab today on TV...(I'm a fan of the show). The answer to one of the questions was liderhosen....the german pants.

This reminded me of a quote from one of my favorite corny movies..."I think she got caught in his liderhosen!"

Any idea what the movie is?

Paging Dr. Asshole

So I am fed up with doctors. Here's a hint...most patients did not go to med school. If we did, we probably wouldn't be coming to see you or calling you. Why must you act like I am an idiot for not understanding the technical terms you are throwing at me? and why must you act like you are much too busy to answer the questions that I do have?

And is it really that hard to believe that I might be a little concerned (well ok completely SPASTIC) when you start throwing around the CANCER word?!?

Frustration

Why exactly would a gynecologist who knows her patient's mother died of cancer have her staff call to tell her something was wrong with her test results...and then when the patient calls in to find out the results the staff tells her she needs to call back later when someone is available to relay the results?!?

Pilates

I was driving in the car with B as we stopped in traffic on a hill next to a beauty/well body shop. He is absorbed in reading the long list of services offered at the shop when he looks at me and says, "What is PILOTS"? i was confused until I looked at the sign and realized he meant "PILATES".

I nearly peed my pants laughing. :)

Thoughts

I have found it difficult lately as I have watched many of my friends get married and get "real" jobs and start their lives as independent adults. While I hope this will be all worth it in 2 years...at the moment I feel a little left behind.

I'm happy for them...but I guess I'm a little jealous too. I don't want to see B once a week....I want to come home with him every night. I want to count on a consistent paycheck....instead of counting the financial aid pennies that are quickly accumulating dollars in interest.

I guess thats my rant for the day.

Insanity

So I thought I would be past the breakdowns this year...but apparently not. I called home crying earlier this week....somehow I just felt overwhelmed at the idea of being stuck here doing this for 16 (now 15) more weeks. But my terrific family and bf clamed me down and made me feel better.

So for the past 2 days I've been super motivated. I've completed most of the reasearch for my AppAd paper and a huge chunk of the reading for the week. Although I know this won't last...Im willing to ride the wave til it crashes.
