• Random, Boring, Commando, Babies, BMI and Skunks?!?

  I keep telling myself that I need to be more consistent with the blogging - that I will appreciate it someday in the near future when my memory starts to wane, but for the life of me I can't seem to A) find the time, or B) come up with interesting things to say or report most of the time! 

  Life has settled into a routine for the semester.  A very busy routine, but one that I can handle...Class four days a week, work five - cram in as much study time and sleep as possible, and try to visit my family on the other side of the river at least one time a week.  Hah - I almost put myself to sleep with that paragraph.  I am that boring these days. 

  Do you know what I love about being a college student?  Today I literally rolled out of bed, threw on yoga pants, a tshirt and sweatshirt - brushed my teeth and went to school.  My hair in a ponytail, wiping the mascara smears out from underneath my eyes on the drive to campus, completely without undergarments of any kind , and comfortable as can be.  And you know what?  Nobody even bothered to look twice, cause I blended right in!  teehee.  I am not the only late riser in my 8am class. [and yes - just to ease your mind, I DID shower and get cleaned up when I got to my parents house after class]  It is going to be quite an adjustment to get back out in the 'real world' where I actually have to dress like a grown up everyday for work and what not...

  Can you believe I only have 12 more weeks until my undergrad degree is finished?  Surreal.

  Totally off the subject - has anyone else noticed an inordinate amount of dead skunks lying about on and beside the roads lately?  I have counted no less than 10 in the last WEEK, and while I admit I do like the occasional whiff of skunk smell [don't ask - it is weird - I know...and I wouldn't want to smell it ALL the time or for an extended period of time at all] 10 seems a bit extreme to me. 

  I don't know if I told you all that my parents had gotten the family a Wii for Christmas...so when I saw a Wii Fit at work last week I snapped it right up [they are incredibly hard to find these days - one of the benefits of working in a retail establishment I suppose] and we have been having SO.MUCH.FUN. playing with it...I rock it on the yoga and balance games.  

  At first it was a little difficult to get over them putting me in the 'overweight' category when the game registered me and measured my BMI, but I have to admit it made me laugh a bit when they pudged out my Mii character to match my BMI.  Adding insult to injury, occasionally when you go to start a game and step on the Wii fit board, it makes this little 'ooohhhh' sound in a high-pitched voice.  Like what it really wants to say is 'Ooofff - get OFF of me'!!  Haha. 

  Hmmmmm - what else?  Remember that huge post of pictures from my brother Joe's wedding in November?  We just got news last week that he and his new wife are expecting their first baby.  This will make niece or nephew number 10 for me....we are all super excited - I don't know if I mentioned that we love babies/children around here!  

  I need to get off here - I am going to challenge mom to a round of Dr. Mario before she goes to bed...
