So we've got the holiday tournements this week and we're crazy busy. When we finally get a little break, Mel comes into the back and asks if anyone knows who won.
I roll my eyes at her and say, "Of course not. I've been here all day. What do you think I am? Telepathetic?"
At this point, Me, Heather, and Mel all realize I meant telepathic, not telepathetic.
*shakes head*
I blame it on the dishes. Too much dish washing is bad for you're mental capabilities. I'm proof.
I know a good time when I see one / And when I'm in the mood I can even be one / I can lead the parade or I can stop it / Sometimes I dance in the boat just to rock it
*from The Kinleys' Just Between You and Me album.

Doing The Grades Thing
I'm really not trying to gloat. Ask Toshia who has spent many a Tuesday cooking me lunch so I'd actually eat a whole meal inbetween finishing papers and doing homework.
But I was bored at work one day and read that I can graduate with honors if I can keep my GPA hefted up there, so here's this semster's efforts to that goal:
Health-A (God that was a lot of work for only 2 credits)
HURL 497-A (I worked my ASS off in that class and met lots of wonderful people)
HURL 498-A (Much easier class)
AI Hist-A (Yeah! Good grades for my minor)
IM-A (I Couldn't stand my professor)
Astro-A- (This class involved Physics!)
Phy Ed-B (Eh. It's gym.)
This gives me a cumulative bump to 3.7

I'm ALIVE!!!!
I know it's been forever since I've been online, but I've been working, reading, moving, and Christmasing.
Christmas was swell. We were too lazy to actually put up our Christmas tree, so I dumped some ornaments on Sampson and we had a Christmas Palm instead. I guess we were vibe-ing Kenny Chesney's All I Want For Christmas is a Real Good Tan album more than I thought. If I remember that far, I'll try and bring the pics to the pizza shop and scan them right away....if I remember.
I got some really great swag. A bright yellow toolbox, Johnny Depp poster, Grumpy Bear ornament and pen, a sweet hoodie that says Fisher University, a teddy bear wearing a Capricorn goat suit, some soap and shampoo, a game called Fact or Crap (LOTS of fun), and some other stuff that I can't remember right now.
My sisters and I are switching rooms, so half of my belongings are in the living room, half are in my old room, and I still haven't bought the paint to get rid of those weird cloud things on my ceiling yet.
I finished the 6th Harry Potter book. Finally. And I was right about who died.
And then there's work. Right now I'm doing nights, which is cool because we close at 8, but the holiday basketball tourney is this week so we're open late. Really not all that fun. But sorta. I mean, It's the pizza shop.

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee
It all started with Mike asking me if I'd drink a cup if he went and bought some. No prob.
Then he bought one of those giant can's that need to be opened with a can opener. Problem. No can opener behind the desk.
So I came to the rescue by bashing a hole in the lid with a hammer and a paint scraper deal.
Now everything should be just peachy right? Or at least woken up with Folgers in my cup?
However, Mike apparently doesn't know how to make coffee. So I doctored what had to be one of the worst cups ever with a few teaspoons of hot chocolate mix.
It was better, but had a horrid after taste.
Like I'd imagine licking an ashtray would taste.
Blech.

Going Into The Final Stretch
Tomorrow I have my Astronomy and Info Media finals. Tuesday it's my American Indian History and HURL finals, and then on Wednesday I finish up with Health. I've just put the finishing touches on my IM handouts for the presentation, and I've checked my answer keys on my old Astro tests. Let's hope thats enough prep for tomarrow, because I'm tired and I'm leaving the library to hit the hay at home with my pretty, soft, new, fuzzy, purple blanket I got from Penny, Ainjil, and the gang for christmas.

Toshia Was Talking To Drunk Boys!!!
Nothing of import happened to me, except I kept accidentally hitting Anna in the face while we were dancing on a crowed dance floor.
Anna on the other hand. . .
-fell flat on her posterior on the dance floor.
-was recruited to dance by a guy that was so scrubby he must be Kevin Federline's relative.
-got an ice cube tossed in her lap curtisey of me that was almost sent down Toshia's pants, however the fact that Tosh is at the bottom of her wardrobe saved her.
-was forced to dance with Toshia's drunk boys' friend, who was a little too boa constrictor for anybody's taste.
-And finally, couldn't hear enough to understand that drunk boys wanted her to howl.
Shame. Shame.

While I'm Still Here
Run over to CMT.com and check out Jack Ingram's new Live album. I absolutely adore Barbie Doll. There's a bunch of others, but I should really go back to my HURL paper and let Jack woo you guys by himself.
Desperately In Need of a Drink
Gah!
It's already been one of those days. Well, I suppose saying that at 1 doesn't nearly have the impact as it did at 7:45 when I first thunk it. One group meeting, shift at work (a seemingly very long one), and starting my Final project for Hurl, later and all I want to do is curl up with a beer and a remote.
It's a good thing me and the girls are going out tonight.

Rock Me Amadeus
After totally spazzing out about my Media Analysis Report, I got it back and totally nailed it. Full points.

Working For The Weekend
So the fam came out this weekend for Christmas. It wasn't a big to-do. Mostly because I spent Friday night out with the girls and we ran into some BL guys. One of which offered to buy a round and then called me a mooch because I accepted. No wonder I didn't hang out with him during high school he's such a prick.
Anna and Tosh both of course got schnockered. And I got my buzz going just before we left. Well, about 45 mins. Before we left. LOL. I am going to decree that we really need to figure out a better drop off system now that they've changed my drive way. My house hasn't moved, but instead of 10 min, it now takes 15 to get to Toshia's so I rolled in at 3.
The 'Rents showed up about 6, and later (MUCH LATER) we made a run to Cabella's where I bough this nummy fudge dipped apple.
For Christmas I got a bunch of bakeware and a pillow. When Tosh saw it, she stared at it and said, "I've seen that before." Well, duh. It's the same Horse Tapestry Pillow Erin Has.
After The Vikes kicked ass, I started on my homework, and Me and the girls bough Christmas presents for the 'rents, we all headed over to I-hop for dinner where they forgot my pancakes.
Then Me and Tosh saw the Dukes at Atwood little theater. She wasn't impressed. I then went home and finished all five of my lesson plans.

Finals
Astro is a semi comprehensive test
Health is a presentation on my drug prevention program. However, it's due today and not done and hence will be handed in on monday. FIVE Lesson plans.
IM is a presentation of our lesson, which isn't too bad because I've already got the rubric done and have some ideas for the handout I still need to design. The webquest is another thing. Hopefully I can get most of that finished today in class.
Hist isn't too bad since I just have to write a paper. And a relatively easy one at that.
HURL is the biggie. I need to write a five day unit that I'm freaked about. Heather told me to do it on something I really love, which means I have no idea what topic in history I really love anymore. Does this make sense to you? I didn't think so. Right now I'm thinking about looking into Ellis Island. How does that sound? Immigration is lots of fun and will totally fit into an ASC/SJE deal.

Weekend in Review (Three Days Late)
Since I didn't work on my health last night, and I highly doubt I'll get much accomplished in the fourty minutes between classes.
So first, as Toshia reported, Izzy sank into a bit of a coma. Well, acutally it was more like she broke her leg. I snaped my CV shaft completely in half I guess. So now Curtis is cooling his heels in A-lot and I might possibly get Iz back this weekend when the fam comes out for Ahrens' christmas at Henry's.
Family pictures were a blast. We almost killed the poor photographer, though. As soon as I get those pics I promise to post them. Expecially since I look like a chipmonk in one of them. Damn it. If Eliza would keep her hands where they belong, Ness would look where she's supposed to, Mel would keep her mouth shut, and the photographer wouldn't wipe the camera with Winnie the Pooh's butt I'm sure it wouldn't have been such an ordeal.
After that, there was just shopping, homework, and food. Good food. Oh, and my dog has figgured out how to get out of the kennel so I chained his ass up to the basket ball hoop and carted the dog house over there. All is good.

Just Squeezing In
I'd love to give you guys a fully involved play by play of all the funny and embarrassing and even some that involve Nodak animals, but I'm in the middle of the week before finals week madness. The only reason I have time to pen you, my adoring public, this little love scrap is because my HURL speaker (heh heh heh. That sounds FABULOUS) has called in sick (Big GRIN) and so class got cancelled. I unfortunately have forgotten some of my readings, so I've got a bit of time to burn before Kayla gets through the Market line down in the food court.
I promise that as of late, late, late tonight I will have caught you all up on the goings on in my world. And I promise to leave out how I've been subsisting on frapachinos and cheetos. God. That almost sounds like the Brittany Spears diet. I think it's in for some major change because I'm aiming ALOT higher than KFed.

Pure Irony
I got my PPST scores back. Of the three sections, I did the best in the Math. Riddle me this one.

Heading Home...Again
Once I get everything packed up, I'm going to pick up Tosh and then we're going out to my parents house for the weekend so I'll prolly be incommunicado for awhile longer.
For those of you wondering about certain rumors swirling around about a certain singer of mine, AmberJ hasn't announced anything, and until that happens, I really don't know what's up.
