Workout


PLEASE, PLEASE go check this link out. I hope that you will find it as entertaining as I have. Enjoy!


this link isn't as fun, but let me tell you I haven't ever even heard of some of these countries. It took me a long time, nearly 20 minutes to put the map together and I was still missing Bahrain. Try your luck at it.

"But, most because they didn'g get invited to those sort of parties"


Questions for the faint hearted. Or perhaps questions not for the faint of heart. Yes, Yes the second one is the one that is the one that I really wanted to write, the first one well I don't know why it is still up there but I am not going to erase it so, it stays. Now, where were we....ah yes these tough questions. Here you are you wonderful and graciously patient personages. If your life is imperfect what are you missing out on? And how can you miss something that you never had?

That 'ought to keep you occupied until the next time that I find something interesting enough to display on my little notebook page. Write your answers, if you can find any (sometimes they hide in strange places like lunch boxes lol) to me in an e-mail if you want and the page wont let you leave a comment.
P.S. In case you were wondering the answer to Life, the Universe and everything, is...42.

"We're the Women Suffragettes"


So here I something to think about for the week, just to keep you on your toes and get the gears in your old brain box working at a reasonable pace: During the women's rights movement our ladies fought for the basic rights that were given to all men.Today we are able to do awesome things like vote, have nearly equal jobs and, though not a undesirable occupation, but we can do more than stay at home and raise children without it being something of a scandal. Here is my only concession to this whole awesome deal that our great great grandmothers fought for; when we gained all these other rights it seems that the men decided that in order for us to be truly equal, we "women folk" had to forgo the activity of being courted and be made to settle with what we have now, men who want us to pursue them, the death of chivalry. I am sorry if some of you do not agree, but I believe that we ladies dropped the ball on this one. Though truth to be told, it is but a small sacrifice in the greater scheme of things and I would not wish to give up any of the other freedoms that were gained from being "liberated." That being said, this equality in dating scene I could still do without.


On a lighter note and one less likely to be controversial, or perhaps it will be who knows, below is a collection of entertaining tequila commercials.




P.S. my grad school application process is coming closer to conclusion. I have begun lining up my references, which was quite the nerve racking experience. I got so nervous yesterday that I broke out in hives before my first meeting with a prof. I had them for about another hour....kind of embarrassing. How well all in the name of obtaining a master's degree.

All Hallows Eve....




Halloween is fast approaching and I still A: don't have a costume, B: Have no plans for the evening, C: don't have a pumpkin, D: Haven't bought any candy. The last is the most criminal offense in my view lol.


Here are some fun things to do to keep your mind off important stuff during the remaining time we have until the little kiddies go out and eat enough sweets they endup in sugar induced comas ;0)



and this, because its clever:


P.S. You know that Halloween always makes me think of Ikibad Crane and the Olsen Twins lol

just a simple reminder

"Nobody puts Baby in the corner"


Hurray!!!! Baby's back!!! so here's the dish. I took her into the dealership yesterday. She was there most of the day and then they called me and told me that they needed to replace the same part that they had replaced 2 months ago. So I told them that and they said "would you look at that you're right" and then they fixed it for me for FREE!!! WOOT. Then comes the sad part. I took the care home and then drove it two blocks to Erin's house. When got back in it to come home..it started doing the same thing that I had asked them to fix. So I though well maybe I should take it back in the morning. When I got up I wasn't planning on taking it in right away, cuz I was tired and wanted to be on time to the museum and stuff and things. I hooped in the car and wa la the check engine light came on, big, bright and yellow gleaming up at me. So i said "oh fine guess its back to the dealers with you little one." So I was an hour late to work after i dropped her off and then when I was getting ready to leave the museum and go home they called me. "It was a spark plug that regulates the part that we put in yesterday" they tell me and I say oh ok, cuz when you put in the same part that you replaced only a few months ago you wouldn't have first checked to see if it was something little like that? Genius i tell you. lol any ways she is all fixed, so they tell me and so I hope. and for now baby is fine I got her oil changed and they boys there washed my windows and vacuumed out the car (the dealers washed her for me so I now have a super clean car that I didn't have to pay them to clean which is awesome!) Other than that not much going on. I still need to schedule my GRE exam (second go at it) and finish my personal statements...eww so i have lots of stuff to do that I don't really wanna to but that I need to get done asap.



P.S. I am totally looking forward to Thanksgiving in New Mexico and moving home in Dec. but imma miss little miss E. (hi friend!)

"It's not just a car, it's my baby"

Me and my jeep have been through a lot together in the past...7 years, wow its been along time but you know I think that she is about done. She is having troubles and it makes me sad cuz I love that old beater car of mine. She isn't the prettiest car around, not the newest, or the fastest but she is mine. It is inevitable though at some point you have to just realize that it is just a machine and that like a person all its clogs and gizmos just wear out, usually sooner than you are ready for them to. I hope that she makes it through the next 11 months but some how I just think that she is on her last leg and going down quickly. My poor little Rieghles, the green machine... I have to take her into the shop on Monday and see what they tell me, hopefully it is all good news a quick, easy, inexpensive fix for my baby. I will let you all know how it goes.

P.S. you know what is even more depressing, I don't even have any pictures of her to put up....what a bad car mommy I am. It's terrible.
