Kids Say Silly Things

So about a week ago the mister and I were out for our weekly Saturday coffee at the Leaf and Bean. A little way into our coffee a mom with two young kids came and sat near us to play with the toys. The kids must have been about 5-7 or so.

Their mommy left to go get coffee or whatever and these kids just kept looking over at us.

And not in the way kids normally do.

These kids would look over, whisper to each other, giggle, and look away.

It was odd.

So we kept on out conversation about what to sell when we move, you know....fun adult stuff, and these kids just keep up their shenanigans.

After about ten minutes of this I finally speak to them and ask if they are having fun with their toys and the littlest one FINALLY gives up why they are soooo giggly....

"We think you guys are talking about kissing."

And his older sister giggles and shushes him loudly.

Talking about kissing.

This is what children imagine adults do.

Talk.

About.

Kissing.

What I've Learned Wednesday!

What I've Learned This Week:

1. Exercising right when you get up is hard. Exercising right when you get up on VACATION is harder.

2. Two ugly sweaters are better than one.

3. Grades take altogether much too long to be posted.

4. Why manhole covers are round. (it's the only shape that ensures they won't fall in)

Also, if you don't know that you can't work at Microsoft.

5. Most professional hockey players from Canada are born in January. It's true. Look it up.

Let the Christmasing Commence

So first off, let me apologize for neglecting to blog yesterday. I did complete all my Christmas shopping and take the dog to the vet but it's Christmas break and that's really not a very good excuse.

So anyhoo, here are the highlights from the weekend:

I got a haircut and then forced the boyfriend to take me out because my hair was "did up".

I'm one of those people who likes to have my hair styled like, super fancy when I get it cut. I mean, isn't that half the fun??

Winning runner up at an ugly sweater party.

The full hideousness of my sweater can't be shown in the above picture because the boyfriend doesn't really do pictures. Why does this matter? Because we had matching sweaters folks! That's right. We found TWO of those marvelous things!! We actually won on "matching sweaters" because no one really knew us at the party.

And that was weekend numero uno. Now I need to get to the rest of my break plans. I think I may be busier these three weeks than during school!!

Finally

You guys, I'm finally done with finals. That means that my holiday enjoyment can officially begin.

I don't know about you guys but I have BIG plans for the break

1. Sleep.

2. Pack. Why you ask? Because the boyfriend and I FINALLY got a new apartment.

3. Spend a full day in my jam jams reading books that I couldn't read during a semester full of regular learning. Sigh.

4. Watch videos of puppies on youtube and laugh when my dog is confused by them.

5. Hang out with the Fam and friends who will come into town.

6. Stay out too late and eat too much.

7. If snow ever comes (hint hint mother nature), then I will build another Dr. Lumpy.

8. Post new photos to flickr.

9. Actually blog. You know, like more than just twice a week.

10. RELAX!!

What I've Learned Wednesday!

What I've Learned This Week

1. My vacuum is broken. Ick.

2. The time to buy an "ugly sweater" is not the month of December. Though I think the boyfriend and I still did pretty good.

3. I REALLY missed performing.

4. Coffee makes me more anxious. But I drink it before tests anyway.

5. The best way to celebrate the end of finals is with beer. Lots of beer.

Holiday Challenge

Holiday Challenge:

Remembering to shave your legs and cut your toenails despite multiple layers of clothing.

An Idea

So the other day while I was surfing the net..a.k.a-avoiding studying....

I came up with a fun idea.

You know how you can find weird stuff on Craigslist??

Do you also know how gift buying can be a bit of a pain when you make negative money?

If you don't understand this part then I can't be friends with you anymore.

Ok, so here's what I'm thinking:

• Get a group of friends together. Preferably people who are awesome and don't want to spend a lot of money but who DO like to party..
• Go to the Craigslist "General" category. Or really whatever category suits your fancy. It doesn't matter.
• Set you price max to $5 and bask in the glory of what you find.
• So this part is flexible but I'm thinking you and your friends all purchase one of these awesome items and then participate in some sort of white elephant activity.
• Add some booze and you've got yourself a Par-tay!

So this way no one spends over $5 and everyone has a great time!

Your welcome.

What I've Learned Wednesday!

What I've Learned This Week

1. Taking an analog photography class means that you will ignore your flickr account terribly.

2. I need to upload some photo's to Flickr.

3. They call it deadweek for a reason. It sucks the life out of you.

4. The supply and demand for illegal drugs.

5. When you finally approach the most IMPORTANT week of your semester, (play performance anyone??) some little dwarf angel or something will find it hilarious to give you a cold. The only cold you have had ALL SEMESTER. Balls.

Good luck on your finals everybody!!

Important Things

Ok people. It's December.

I don't know about you guys but I personally start my holiday celebrating (music and decorations) on Thanksgiving.

That's right.

My stockings have been hung by the 'electric fireplace' with care, and I have enough tinsel to sparkle your pants off.

And yes, that handy little Santa cup pictured has been getting a lot of tea and coffee action lately.

However, despite all this preparing there is one VERY important thing that I just decided on.

What my holiday nail polish color will be.

This effectively determines how your holiday will transpire..(not really)

I have decided on silver with a couple added sparkles. (as shown)

Hopefully this means my holiday will be bright and happy. That's the goal.

I have a feeling I will play with a little classic red as well but that's really a given.

Has everyone else decided on this very important question????
