Pink Flamingo on Toast

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 Link: The Muppet Personality Test written by TheLadyEve on Ok Cupid , home of the 32-Type Dating Test

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...

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?

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 fro...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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. -Z

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!!

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.

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'

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.

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*

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 th...

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 :)

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 wil...

Just got these :)

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?

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 si...

Go Jaguars!

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)

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.

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: Laundry (ugh) Paper for EHD1000 Paper for SPA1602 Realistic to do list: Laundry Play SWG Guess I'll go start the laundry.

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*

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 neede...
