I think there are statistics about how much smarter people are in the morning versus later in the day, right? Surely. Not even knowing these statistics, I must agree with them as I am living proof. Every morning I know the right answer to the question on my GoGurt tube. Amazing, right? I mean, who has *that* kind of accuracy?!

Yesterday I ate my GoGurt 3 hours later than usual and, to prove my point, I could not answer that doggone question. Mid-morning dumbness? I'll say! The question was "Can you guess what an ort is? Food scraps, a cross-eyed ape or [...something else I can't remember]." No freaking clue. I had to Google it.

Naturally, this morning as I was easily answering my GoGurt trivia it ocurred to me Hello! It was a trick question. "Can you guess what an ort is?" NO! I cannnot guess that! HaHAA GoGurt, I have beaten you at your own game. Take that.

PS- I eat the natural GoGurt, the tube yogurt for the higher IQ crowd. Not the Trix kind with the easy questions... ;)

Sooo hungry...rrrrrrr

I don't usually make resolutions but this year I'm thinking of them more as goals than behavioral adjustments, so I thought I'd make a few. Plus, you know how I feel about lists...



In 2010 I will:



Learn more about the music that I like. I think it is so cool when people can tell you all about the history or their favorite bands but I know zilch about anybody other than MXPX. Time to do some research.



Have fewer migraines. I HAVE the power to stop them, it is just so darn difficult. But really, is being proactive that much worse than dealing with the pain and nausea? Why has this taken me 26 years?



Dye my hair different colors at once, like so:



Write more letters and emails. Preferably letters.



Call my brothers. Really I'd be happier without the invention of the telephone, but since it is available I ought to get used to using it. Bleh. But I miss them and I suppose calling is a bit cheaper than flying, these days.



Wear an apron when cooking. I hate stains.

That sounds good for now.

Ewww, carrots.

I just read through the first year of my old blog and it was hysterical. College was fun, for the most part. I hardly remember the fun days, so it is great to be able to go back and read (in exorbitant detail) all about my friends, classes, teams, roommates, etc. And the music I was listening to and movies I was watching every day, too. I miss having the time and focus to blog like that. All I blog about these days is how I never blog anymore! Dumb. So....

A couple weeks ago a guy at work asked me to make a life-size cutout of one of our managers. Um, I didn't do so well at getting him to be life-sized, but he is even funnier since he is so little. Everyone looks like a monster next to him. Morale has been pretty low around here, lately, so it was awesome to be able to walk around with Little Matt and see people break out of their cubicles and shells and gather around to take pictures and play jokes. Fun fun fun.

We spent Thanksgiving house/dogsitting for our favorite dog's family. This little dude is the sweetest, funniest pet I have ever met and even Sam loves him. He has a little nubby tail, so when he gets excited his whole body wiggles and he loves to be picked up and carried around like a baby. We were taking family pictures in the back yard and every time someone would set the camera timer then run to get in the picture, Rascal would chase them and jump in the picture, too. So every picture either has Rascal posing with us or Rascal running or jumping. We can't wait to get a house so we can get a mini Schnauzer. :)

Crochet like there's no tomorrow

I found this cute little guy at a craft store and decided I had to make one for my nephew, for Christmas.


I sort of like mine better. But it looks like the Pop Tart characters...



Well, now I am stuck on a crocheting kick and in the last few days I've been crocheting nonstop. We are 'supposed to' go back to work tomorrow...hahaha- we'll see about that! My yarn collection is not quite depleted yet.

Here's my back, so stab it already!

I guess if someone is going to read this, I might as well write on it, huh. I ususally do better with listing than prosing, so I'll give that a try. On the common theme, things I am thankful for:

country music
the amazing people I work with
nail polish
plaid
good hair days
my husband who loves the weird awful things about me
my baby nephew who opened new doors in my heart
being with my WHOLE family for Christmas
New Moon
I don't have to be perfect, broken is just fine
Glee
other peoples' stories, which are worth every minute
getting to know people better
the telephoto lense on my camera at work
organization
being unexpected
salsa aguacate (guacamole salsa)
dogs

Have I seriously not written anything here since July? Wow. It has been about that long since I had 10 minutes to sit and think much. The problem with people being expected to work 40+ hours a week is that there is no time left to live, only to eat and to sleep. I think it should be optional at review/raise time that you either get more money or fewer hours.


Clearly, life has been on the crazy side lately. In good and bad ways. We just started a new Sunday School class a couple months ago and we have been out of town every single weekend since the first class. This is a massive change from our former life of sitting at home and doing nothing all weekend. We do like having the freedom to be gone on Sundays since Sam doesn't play for our new church, but at the same time it is kind of stinky to be torn between going to an awesome class or going to California...


I was planning on writing more than that, but my brain is going in too many directions to form intelligent sentences. I guess that is why Twitter is so popular; you don't really have to say anything intelligent. It's moment-by-moment without thinking ahead or behind. Interesting. Or maybe not...I don't know, I'd have to think about it.
