There are lots of random things going on and I was trying to figure out just what I wanted to talk about. One day I'll get a handle on this whole blogging thing and make my posts uber clever and witty. But right now you're getting random bullets! Yay for lists!
- School is a thorn in my side. Strangely (or perhaps not strangely only proving that I really am smart) - the material is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I guess the whole thing about being an adult in the working world really DOES help. The material being discussed doesn't seem like a foreign language anymore because I can actually understand the application of concepts. Go me.
- I realized that I'm not the oldest person in my classes anymore (with the exception of the retired nurse). I guess I just wasn't paying close attention to the people around me (shocking, I know. Little did they know, they only need to wear something sparkly to catch my eye).
- I keep bombing my quizzes in my entry level course! Its is so f'n frustrating. The first quiz - I didn't study for and got a C but argued my way to a B. The second quiz, I DID study for and got another C. I went through every question and looked through his slides and did a comparison of each. I have confirmed that I probably got 7 wrong (2 are questionable, 1 is arguable) but that leaves 2 others that he claims I got wrong (he posted the results online). I am ready to FIGHT! I'm acing the projects... but I'm not so hot at memorizing definitions and I have a short attention span. I suffer from FTTD (fast test taking disorder) so I realized that some of the questions I got wrong, I would have gotten right had I read the question in its entirety. Dammit.
- I loathe my team in my other class. I feel like their damn mother. I'm constantly having to reach out to get them to do anything. And we just had a presentation. I put together the final PowerPoint slides and had them send me what they had created on their own. Dear god - didn't these boys graduate from college already? Spelling, grammatical, formatting mistakes galore. What.the.hell. Yarg! I complain about these guys all the frickin' time.
- I'm trying to get The Mr. to grow a beard. I realized that I had matured this past week when I found myself attracted to men with beards. I used to hate them, now I think they're hot. They make a man look manly and mature. I mean... look! (image stolen from jamie's blog)
The Mr. said he'd try it AFTER our trip to Puerto Rico. He doesn't want to risk a weird tan line.
- Tomorrow night is Amy's Halloween Par-tay! The Mr and I have to put our costumes together tonight. I'm going as Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt and am preparing myself to answer "what are you supposed to be?" all night. Zach suggested that I take this opportunity to pretend I don't get anyone else's costume either. I'm sorry, you're what? A pirate? I don't get it.
- Sunday, The Mr and I are going to act like we're professional photographers. Ha! I offered to take the Save-the-Date photos for Kristin & Jackson with our fancy schmancy Nikon D80 (my precious). I had her put together a list of inspiration engagement photos. I hope our first run at taking pictures of things that aren't our house, our dogs or ourselves turns out well!
- I signed up for NaBloPoMo (aka National Blog Posting Month). So I'm supposed to try to post something EVERY frickin' day in the month of November. I thought this would be easy peasy until I remembered that we're going to Puerto Rico for a few days in November. I hope they have a computer I can log onto! Anywho - if you're interested, you should be my friend. I'm a nerd, I know.
- Some folks asked what "pee butt" was so here is the answer: When your poo has the consistency of pee. Yum!
What's everyone else got planned?

Yeah that's gross (pee butt).
We're hosting a Halloween Costume party! I will be Wonder Woman and my husband will be a gladiator. Can you tell we just racked our brains for these unique ideas? :)
Hi Nerd. Today's entry was good until I read the pee butt definition while eating my lunch. Needless to say, my lunch has never tasted better after reading that! haha.
My brother is having a Halloween party tomorrow night. I'll be rockin' my stonewashed jean jacket as a 80's headbanger.

ooh, NaBloPoMo sounds fun! they have high-speed internet in all of the guest rooms at the resort. drew's bringing his laptop, so you can borrow it to blog! just don't look in his porn folder. i did the other day and got frightened. have fun at the halloween party!
I think your posts are already uber clever and witty, my dear!
And I'm excited that you're participating in NaBloPoMo! WOO HOO!
If you were looking for a picture of some handsome gent with a beard, you should have posted the picture of me after my fight last weekend. Although, the traffic to the website might have crashed the server. Good idea to go with the no-talent hack you went with.
The Mr looks hot just the way he is...you don't want him to have a full beard do you? I like the light facial hair look...nothing too thick :)
There's NO WAY that I could BLOG for 30 days straight...good luck!!
Have a great weekend!! Geoff and I are going to his bro's Halloween party in NY...I should have some good stories for Monday :)
Oh, and thanks for using the Sylar pic...I got all excited to see him today :)
Okay, so I've been seeing that NaBlaPoMo button on a lot of people's blogs, never bothered to click on it (lazy!) and I am THRILLED that you spelled it out so I know what it is. Sounds like fun, I'm going to check it out.
(And by the way, I'm still chuckling to myself about pee butt.)
Also, I really hope someone google's "pee butt" and ends up on your blog. You'll have to let us know if that happens. Who googles pee butt?!
You're always uber-clever. :) I always look forward to your daily blogs.
Good luck on blogging every day of November. I'm lucky if I blog once a week! I need to work on that.
