Spitting Old Person

Today I was wasting time on this website, Bad Gift Emporium.com and check out what I found:

Just like the one that used to hang in Grandmama's kitchen, except it's a man...and yes, this one spits too! Yuck!

Christmas Day 2007

What a great Christmas it has been. So much fun to spend time with my family and friends. I will post pictures soon...hopefully there are some good one's to share.

I received a "gift card" from Mom & Dad for a "massage" - and I can't wait to relax and take an hour to get ready for this coming semester...it is right around the corner!

Speaking of school, Sarah got me a digital recorder, so I can record all of my lectures this coming semester. I am so excited...thank you so much. With any luck I will do more than pass the TWO history classes I have on my plate.

And thanks to Kelly, I can plan my next international adventure...she gave me a world map and pins! I am so excited to hang it up and mark all the places I have been and want to go.

A really neat thing happened on Sunday; I was asked to sing in church as part of our ward Christmas Sacrament Meeting. I invited everyone to get up at the crack of dawn and come listen, but honestly did not think anyone would take me up on the offer...that's simply too early! But to my surprise, when I walked into the chapel on Sunday morning (running a bit late thanks to a downed power line) Mom & Nicki were sitting in the back row!!! Wow...seriously, so cool of you to come. It MADE MY DAY! Heck, it made my Christmas! Thank you so, so, so much!

Okay, well...this little worker bee has to be at the office in the morning (so lucky, I know!) so I'm off to bed.

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all had as wonderful a day as I did.

Now bring on the 2008!

the LEFT lane

Do you know why I always drive in the left lane?
Sure, you may think it is because I drive faster than the average Cracker Jack license carrying Atlantan, but it goes much deeper than that and today I realized why!
I drive in the left lane because it cuts my chances of being involved in an accident that is out of my control by 50%.
It's true! You see, if you drive in the left lane then you only have to watch out for...
blind spot UNcheckers,
blinker amnesia sufferers,
make-up appliers,
telephone breaker-uppers
and
'67 Ford drivin' illegal immigrant carpet layers talking on the phone with his buddy who is ridding in the BACK OF THE TRUCK going 80mph down I-75
...on my right side.
While on my left side...only a wall of concrete barriers. But if I run into them, someone in the right lane probably pushed me.



...no blinker amnesia sufferers were harmed in the taking of this photo

GRADES ARE IN...

(click on the pic above to make it larger so you can see it)
Could I BE any happier?!

Well, yes, but only if that "B" in Econ was an "A"...oh well.


Yay!...let's celebrate!!!


I'll be serving pizza & treats at John & Jamiee's tonight if anyone wants to join the little people and I.
