Bittersweet!

I woke up this morning to a scratchy throat that has just gotten worse throughout the day. The past hour or so the chills have started settling in. I think I'm getting a cold and a bad one from the early signs. Definitely bittersweet!

Bitter because it's a long weekend. Who wants to be sick on a long weekend, especially when that weekend includes fun Valentine's plans?

Sweet because since it is a long weekend there's more time to relax and get better before heading back to work!

Best work request ever!!!!!!!!

This is what i got today from one of those "special" (aka pain in the rear) professors...

"What time is it?"

Sounds reasonable until you take into consideration that there is a large clock on the wall across from my desk. Can you not tell time? Are you really that lazy? And we're paying you to teach the people who will teach our children? Home schooling sometimes sounds really good considering the things you learn behind the scenes. Wow!!!

Best part...after i looked at the clock and gave him an answer he looked at it himself. You ask me a stupid question and then don't trust me with the answer i give you? Or are you trying to learn how to tell time yourself and want to memorize what the clock looks like at 10:10? Really?

So what are the most ridiculous requests you've had at work?

Quote of the day...

"I throw babies."

A statement by my coworker, referring to tossing babies in the air, which is, according to my boss, very very dangerous for babies (kills brain cells).

Cracked me up!!! Just the matter-o-fact way he said it was great!

Would you rather..

This was kind of interesting and i'm bored haha.

1. Know exactly when you're going to die, OR exactly how?
(I would rather know exactly how. I think knowing when would depress me too much but i guess you wouldn't be worrying about it .)

2. Be financially set for life--but never be able to travel outside the U.S., OR be financially set for life--but never be able to set foot back inside the U.S?
(I have no idea. I want to travel everywhere but i really would like to come back home too! That being said i think i would go with never being able to come back to the US.)

3. Never get to watch TV shows again (including on the internet or DVD), OR never get to watch another movie again (including internet/DVD)?
(It think i'd go with Movies. Just because. No real logic behind this one.)

4. Be the sole survivor of a plane crash or shipwreck on a deserted island--with no hope of ever being rescued, OR be one of the people who dies in said crash/shipwreck?
(Die, if it was painless and quick. I don't really like to be alone.)

5. Give up the internet for a week, OR give up your car for a month.
(Give up the internet. I'm just not an internet junkie. I'm on it all day just because i'm at work but i rarely go on at home or on the weekend.)

6. Have a demanding job that you really don't like--but will earn you more money than you could ever want within 15 years, OR work at a job you absolutely love for the rest of your life--and have to live paycheck-to-paycheck?
(Demanding job. It's worth the security. Then in 15 years i'd get a job i liked.)

7. Be absolutely brilliant--but very average looking, OR be absolutely gorgeous--but only have average intelligence?
(Be brilliant. Average isn't bad looking it's just not super model. i think i'm pretty average now so not much would change other than my brilliance level :)

8. Live in an inner-city apartment for the rest of your life, OR live in the country at least 1/2 mile away from your nearest neighbor for the rest of your life?
(The country. I like the space. And you can always go into town whenever.)

9. Never get to eat ice cream ever again--but always stay slim and fit, OR eat ice cream whenever you want--but gradually gain weight until you are a fat old person, regardless of how much you exercise?
(I could go without ice cream.)

10. Lose your passport/wallet/money/all identification while traveling overseas, OR have your computer crash just before finals or a big presentation?
(Computer crash. I would freak out if i lost all that stuff in another country!!!)

So i heard of this awesome site! And even better there is a giveaway for the first 20 people who post about it. We'll see if i win.

The Rings

Here are a couple views of my wedding rings. I have two wedding bands and they are rose gold. Love them!!! David let me wear them all day on Friday :) I love him!!!

Dying of sleep deprivation

3 Hours just doesn't cut it. The culprit: Caffeine



I had too much at Sukie and Wudan's last night. Usually it doesn't affect me too much but sometimes it will keep me up all night. That's what happened last night. Although, watching "Crash" didn't help either.

My night consisted of trying to sleep on the couch. Watching the food network, iron chef. and trying every other possible thing to get me to sleep. Obviously nothing much worked.

Hopefully I'll get back to normal tonight and get to sleep well.
