i figure its about time for a new post…

So I’m taking an online Health class because I needed to take it this semester but all the classes were full before I could register… Its a ridiculously easy course and you just take a quiz and do an assignment at the end of each week. Unfortunately this weeks chapter covers an uncomfortable subject, I brought up the power point to read the material before doing the assignment today in the library and a huge slide comes up with the word CONTRACEPTION in bold red letters. I quickly went to the next slide in hopes that it wouldn’t scream out that I was reading about this subject only to find that every slide had this word and even pictures. This was a little embarrassing for me because I’m not the kind of girl who discusses this particular subject on a regular basis and I didn’t want anyone to glance over at my computer and get the wrong idea… so I quickly exited out of the power point. Now I am wasting time till my next class and waiting until I have the privacy of my home to work on this assignment. I know I sound immature, its because I am. I really would rather not know any more about this chapter than I already do and I am not looking forward to what we will be discussed in future chapters.

lame joke for a lame post.

I have been trying for the past 30 min. to think up something I wanted to blog about…. but the creative juices just aren’t flowing today. I tried writing about the Eiffel tour, t shirts, iCarly, nail polish… but as soon as I typed the title in it just looked lame and I lost all my good ideas. sorry fellow bloggers, this post has brought nothing but lameness in its purest form.

I saw Valkyrie yesterday and it was excellent… and yes Tom Cruise does look good in an eye patch.

Its Christmas time and instead of feeling the holiday cheer I think I just might pull my brains out through my ears. I love the holidays, but there are a few things that drive me crazy during the winter festivities…

Like everyone piled in the mini van with puffy coats, a billion or so gifts, and a few dessert platters. I like my space and even a ten minute drive to Grandmas house can turn into a bloodbath if I’m not in a good mood.  There’s just something about not being able to move my arms, the heater aimed right at my face, the radio barfing out the worst Christmas music I’ve ever heard, my hands getting dry and cracked, my brothers hitting each other in the backseat, my littlest sister yelling out my name to talk to me, my Mom yelling at my brothers to stop wrestling in the car, the stuffy smell you get with seven people and four different desserts all meshed in one car, and Emma sticking her finger in my ear that makes me want to jump out of the car and into oncoming traffic.

Just thinking of it now makes me claustrophobic.

Finals are over!

The week of March 28th until April 1st I will be attending the 12th annual Arizona Bike week where I will find my true love and ride off into the sunset on a red MVAgusta. Destiny awaits.

So I got the pen chewing quote from the Office in an email and am going to hang it by the desk in my room. I revised it a little,

NOTICE!!!

Chewing on pens is completely unacceptable. It’s a disgusting habit that some of my roommates partake in. This oral fixation is offering up a slew of germs and/or viruses to not only the chewer, but the person he/she passes their pen on too. When you put office supplies in your mouth you are sharing a dose of your infectious saliva with all your roommates. Although my writing utensils are heavily guarded, I still come across a chewed pen every now and then. The other day I found Brooke chewing on one of my pens – to retaliate I walked over and spat on her bed. I’ve reached my wit’s end with pen chewers – their filthy habit will no longer be tolerated. To encourage everyone to halt this behavior I will be applying a dose of an anticoagulant to all of the pens in the premises. Consider yourself warned.

The part about Brooke chewing pens is real, (I didn’t spit on her bed.)

So Jennie and I were planning on running a 5K this weekend for Red Ribbon week! We registered at the BRHD (Bear River Health Department) and paid $8. (that’s a whole weeks worth of food P.S.) But unfortunately on the day of the race we left the map at home, so we drove all over Logan in freezing cold snowing weather looking for the Starting line but never found it. So we went home, got the map, and realized that the race was actually in Hyde Park. Which we thought was an actual Park…

Yes, we are both natural blonds.

So then we call up Jennie’s Mom and she informs us that Hyde Park is South if Logan. (its not) And we drive all the way to the Route 66 gas station with our faces glued to the windows searching for any sign(pun) of Hyde Park only to find it is actually North of Logan, according to the phone book in the Route 66 gas station. You think we would have given up by now but we didn’t! We went all the way to Hyde Park and walked in ice blowing wind to the location of the race which was over and didn’t even get our t-shirts because they ran out and gave our away.

On the flip side we did get some good rolls, but we hadn’t eaten a big breakfast so anything would have tasted good by then. We told the people in charge what had happened and they gave us little cards to pick up our t-shirts later and offered us some frozen fruit which we didn’t want because we were cold.

So that’s the story of how Hyde Park hid (haha!) from us and deprived us of our chance to run in the 5k for red ribbon week.

Volcano in Chile erupts during and electrical storm.

 Date: Tue, 13 May 2008 09:54:18 -0700

Two of nature’s most spectacular forces produced an incredible brew in
the skies of Chile as a volcanic eruption met a lightning storm. Tons
of dust and ash from the eruption of the Chaitïn volcano poured into
the night sky just as an electric storm passed overhead. The resulting
collision created a spectacular sight as lightning flickered around
the dust cloud amid the
orange glow of the volcano.

The eruption was all the more spectacular because the Chaitïn
volcano,800 miles (1,290km)south of Santiago , has been dormant for
hundreds – if not thousands – of years. The Patagonian volcano began
erupting on Friday and the 12-mile-high plume has left vast tracts of
land coated with a layer of ash.
