A Spectrum

My uncle got a new golden retriever puppy. He's not sure about the name, perhaps Chief perhaps George. So Chief George sounds good to me. I got to play with him this past weekend. I want a puppy!

George loves the camera 

I love puppies!

Woohoo, nickel size hail. Well, not really woohoo but it was fun to watch.

More Easter Weekend musings...

It never fails. When you get my parent's generation or older together, the conversation inevitably moves toward just talking about people. Who they were married to, who their children were, when they died, what they did, where they lived, and so forth... Of course to my generation, this is the most boring topic in the world. So naturally at easter dinner with my parents, grandparents, and aunt and uncle, where else would the conversation go? The conversation however became slightly more interesting when they started talking about someone named Norton who married a Lorton. Well, you can guess what that sounded like. Not only that but my aunt and uncle were at a funeral I think when they saw an older gentlemen and couldn't remember if his wife was dead or not. My uncle told my aunt to just go up and ask him how his wife was doing. Thank goodness my aunt did not stoop to that level in order to obtain that piece of information.

One of my professor's in the hall today said "Are you going to chase?" And I thought I misheard him, so replied "What?" He repeated the same thing and so did I because I was clueless as to what he was trying to ask me. So finally he said, "You know, all the severe weather, are you going to go out?" OOOHHHH! My reply was "I wish" I am so out of the loop I didn't know what he was talking about. Plus I dont' have time to do that really and Tom would kill me if I did. ;) But I am excited about the prospect of severe weather. Maybe I will get lucky and it will come straight to me!!!

Today, I finally got to do something that I've been wanting to do all semester. I took my lab class outside!!! It was so nice out. We just kind of plunked ourselves down on the grass and they worked on their lab and I helped when they had questions. I think they enjoyed being out of the tower of terror. I am an awesome teacher. Well, sort of...

While out at my grandparents Easter sunday, the big excitement among the guys was that grandpa had gotten a new lawnmower. My grandpa lives on a lake and has a very large lot to mow, plus he mows neighbors lots too. So it's a fairly nice size lawnmower, they guys were making comments about the size, etc. and the fact that it has a cupholder. This feature was very exciting to them. So of course my husband Tom and my cousin Sam had to go check it out. It was in the garage just off the house. The proceeded to start it up and fill the house with carbon monoxide. But that's beside the point. We were all lathargic anyway from the meal so who notices carbon monoxide right. Anyway, they were reving the engine and so on, kind of funny coming from a lawnmower. When they finally turned it off, everything was immediately quiet and we hear my cousin yell "The cup holder works great!!!" :) Silly boys.

I ran into my weather dynamics professor the other day who I usually don't talk to. The two classes I took with her were the hardest ever. Anyway, she said she had found an old final of mine and wondered if I wanted it. I was kind of taken aback so I said ok. It was kind of bizzare because it was from 2002 and she only gave me the answers I wrote not the questions. But I was amazed that I was ever able to take those tests and I did really well on this test! My professor said I should frame it. ;) It was a nice confidence booster moment. Something to counter act all my stupid moments you have been reading about. ;) How in the world did I make it to adulthood?

Did you ever have one of those days where you get locked out of your bedroom? (Do I even need to tell you that this also happened?)

However, I will go into more detail. Somehow when we closed the door behind us it was locked, I thought when you opened a locked door from the inside it stayed unlocked, apparantly not. Anyway, this was at like 10 p.m. and the door needed a key it looked like. I tried a knife, i tried our apt. key and even our mail key ;), a screwdriver and vairous other tools were tried by tom and tom's brother, Eric. Being a firefighter, Eric was like "Ah, let me just take it out." Hmm, tempting, but no. Thank goodness Eric was home at the time because both Tom's cell phone and my cell phone were in the bedroom. So we call our apt. complex's emergency number to request someone to unlock it. Tom talked to the lady on the phone but I could hear the conversation. The lady was like, "They didn't issue you a key?" (Would I be talking to you if they did??) and then she said, "well is this an emergency, do you need someone now?" (No lady, Tom and I will just sleep in the living room and go to work/school the next day in our pajamas! Here's your sign... sorry tom's got me watching blue collar comedy tour) Anyway, we finally got a maintenece guy to come and after trying about 32 different keys, he opened the door. YEAH!

Do you ever have one of those days where you open the door of your car to drive somewhere, put one foot in, and realize there isn't a steering wheel in front of you because you opened the back door? (once again this actually happened)

I love pixar's short films that they show before their feature films! You can watch them all on their website. Check it out!

Yay, a Wallace and Gromit movie! Mmm...Cheese.

Thoughts about Southern Indiana:
-It's more hilly than I thought.
-Houses are either brand new or falling apart.
-The roads were most likely laid out by drunken men, they have no pattern whatsoever.
-Every road must have at least three different names.
-Spencer, IN has gas 10 cents cheaper than everywhere else.
-There are yellow road signs that annouce the presence of a church. (No! I thought that large building with a steeple and stain glass was the local bar.)
-Hoosiers either drive 10 mph over the speed limit or 20 mph under.
-Don't even try to figure out what time it is, eastern, central, an hour early, the same time, don't move their clocks forward or backward, my head hurts...

Do you ever have one of those days where you try to unlock your front door by pushing the automatic unlock button on your car keys? (How sad is it that this happened?)

Two more days 'til break....SCORE!... maybe during break I will have time to write something.

Got some free time on your hands?
