David Tennet & Catherine Tate

I know it’s post-Christmas, but I needed a cheering up today and this arrived at my Youtube doorstep. I have yet to watch these two interact and not love it! She’s still my favorite Doctor Who companion ❤
New FB Page Idea
20 JanNew FB Page Idea—All people really, really, really tired of snow. I’ll be the first member!
FYI Evil Weatherman– that 8/10 of an inch was a LIE! A dad-gum, filthy, no-good lie told to raise my spirits and then crush them under the weight of 2 inches of unforcasted snow. I am seriously displeased. And considering a lawsuit based on the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Gingerbread Disaster (Potentially)
17 DecI’m currently trying my hand at the good old-fashioned gingerbread house! I haven’t made one of these in years, so I thought I would reward my end-of-the-school-year efforts with the chance to express my creative side for a bit. Of course, I’m not attempting to build it from scratch–that’s a BIG undertaking for a beginning Gingerbread-House-builder 🙂 Instead I grabbed a kit at Sam’s, and I’ve been playing around with it all night.
I’m happy to report that after a couple of hours, an entire tube of icing, four “OH NO’S!!,” and finally a cry for extra holding hands from my mom, my house has four standing walls and a roof. Admittedly, one wall is pushed in and I had to overlap the roof edges a bit, but its on! Woohoo! After one final catastrophe of the whole thing collapsing inward, I’ve decided to give it the night to cement. It’s currently being held up with chili and icing cans 🙂

Labor Day Ventures
17 OctLabor Day Labors (of Fun) aka Adventure!
I long ago promised that I would relate my wonderful, awesome adventures cross-country this past labor day weekend. Labor Day weekend, always one of the great highlights of any college student’s life, was particularly exciting to me this year since I also had Thursday and Friday off and I was off to visit family for a BBQ. A five day weekend, BBQ Pork Steak, Baked Potato, Grilled Veggies, and Home-made Ice Cream and Fudge Sauce–the weekend was definitely offering great potential 🙂 My Aunt and her husband were hosting the BBQ at their cabin down in Illinois; having traveled the same road dozens of times in the past, the trip can get kind of boring at times.
Now you have to understand that I wasn’t going to be alone on this trip; my mom was also going to be riding down with me. My mom and I together are pretty awesome. We love taking the roads less traveled and heading off Continue reading
I’ve Used that Excuse!!
8 OctYou know how you always have that one class that you just can’t stand? The professor has now changed the rules on our research paper three times, gone back on what they said before, and assigned extra work, emailed us for meetings the night before. Then last week she/he calls us in for a “cannot miss”/”must-be-there”/”amazing-opportunity” to hear a guy speak in class and spent the entire last half of it explaining to him how they doubt everything he says because the prof. can name a small town in Missouri that doesn’t match his general conclusion. 0_0 So, I of course do NOT want to go to class tomorrow. Do you think one of these excuses will get me out?

Speaking of Zoos. . . OOps
16 AugSpeaking of zoos and bears and wild things, check out this article where a zoo in China swapped out a lion for a big dog and hoped no one would notice. Apparently it actually worked until the lion started barking. Talk about a surprise! Guess we’re lucky we saw a panda in Tianjin instead of a black and white puppy! That must have been humiliating 😛
