super funny

I think I peed a little when
I watched this.

your momma was a toaster

Things I’ve done in the past 48 hours:

1. Date Night. D and I haven’t had a date night in quite a while. I decided that for his V-day (read: Hallmark Commercialism Day) gift I would take him out to dinner (fast food not included). Since we couldn’t handle the hour wait at the Outback, we headed across the street to the Borders and maybe scope out another place to eat. We decided we were too hungry to go anywhere far, so we ended up eating pizza in the food court and, since we saved on dinner, splurged and went to a movie, too. Not that the movie was very good…

2. RFL. For those of you not so inclined, RFL=Robotic Football League. Yep, you read that right. They just started in November, and they meet every Saturday in a HobbyTown store and use robots that sit about a foot high and play football. I couldn’t believe it either. So, of course, I had to check it out. Interesting… Favorite part? ‘your momma was a toaster.’

3. Genghiscon XXIX. Yeah, so I don’t think a lot of people know what this is. It’s a gaming conference. Avid board gamers and miniture gamers alike gather here for a wholesome three-day weekend of pure fun! Ok, so I only went one day, but it was still fun to see. I even picked up some dice for Munchkin, and played a few games with Michelle, Scott, and a few other avid board gamers.

How to Survive an MRI:

1. douse yourself in anti-itch cream. you know as soon as they tell you not to move, you’re gonna itch.

2. make sure they have a big screen tv turned up really loud playing the food network. i learned lots of things from the barefoot contessa today.

3. eat something before you go. if you don’t, and #2 is true, you’ll become very hungry. not a pleasant feeling when you  have to be completely still for 45 minutes.

4. make sure they have the correct documents, and don’t sign papers if they have someone elses name on them. i.e. my name is not barbara rodgers, and i was not born in 1964, therefore, do not make me sign those papers, and get my name right!

5. make sure you have a super nice man named david helping you and giving you extra pillows so that when they lay you flat, you can still watch tv.

6. forget to put your jewelry back on after your morning shower. it alleviates the possibility of losing them at the clinic or something happening to them there.

7. afterwards, treat yourself and eat somewhere you don’t normally get to because your husband hates it, i.e. panda express.

8. be nice to said husband and fill up the car with gas so he can get to work the next day since he’s broke and can’t fill it up.

the horny squirrel

ok, i know i haven’t written in a while, but let me just get
it out of the way and tell you what’s been going on…

about a week and a half ago i was
hit by a car.

there, i said it, no big deal. except it was. i’m ok, not bad like that.
it just hit my knee (great – more knee problems. just what i need, right?)
however, we are having a difficult time getting insurance info to make
sure that it’s paid for.
i’m sure it’ll work out…hopefully sooner than later.

other than that, it seems it’s been the week from…well,
something. i’ve been super spacey, cut myself with a knife three different
times, forgotten my homework on several occasions (and even in the same day!)
and my favorite boots died.

anyway, now that that part is done, on to the good stuff.

my friend jess and i went to the botanical gardens today to get some pictures,
some for class, and some for fun.

what we got instead, we had not bargained for:
a horny squirrel.

thats right, a horny squirrel. don’t believe me? take a look at the pictures:

ok, so maybe i just don’t know a lot about squirrels, and maybe that’s just his ‘manly
squirrel’ parts. in any case, i’ll let you be the judge.
