Playtime

Tonight Divot and I were playing chase around the couch.
I thought that we were having a great time, but the joke was on me.
After several minutes of our fun, I realized that my last five or so laps were solo and Divot was just watching me get my exercise in for the day.

Lou Dobbs: No Bias, No Bull

Although this past week I should have been studying for finals, I have found myself unable to focus due to the overwhelming incoming of news headlines. I can't decide if there actually is an extra abundance of stories going on or if perhaps I have just discovered my mature self and therefore have felt the urge to be updated on life. One thing that I did find out was that watching the news is only necessary once a week. Every story will play over and over and over again until every ounce of juice is sucked out of it. So, for all those who happen to be living in a cave, here are the latest headlines...

Miss California had a question about gay marriage at the Miss America pageant. She said that she wasn't raised to believe in gay marriage, she believe's in opposite marriage.

The Swine Flu is not a pandemic yet, but it has the possility. The epicenter of the flu seems to be in Mexico where most of the deadly cases have been.

Senator Arlen Specter has switched parties from Republican to Democrat. It seems that after nearly 80 years of following certain ideals, he just found out that the other side is better.

Obama has passed his first one hundred days as President of the United States and... has fallen short of expectations.

And my personal favorite...

The United States government issued a Boeing 747 to fly low over Manhattan for a photo op. Obama was "furious" when he found out about it with the rest of the American public. (It seems to me that this is a lose lose for him. Either he knew about it to begin with, or he doesn't have control over the people who made it happen)

Now I realize that I said anyone living in a cave could get this update on my blog, but I suppose that living in a cave would limit access to the internet, so nevermind.

Raffle Time

Today in Nutrition we had a raffle. Our professor, Matt Schmidt, thought that it would a great way to entertain his favorite class and have a wonderful time. I didn't win anything because I don't have that kind of luck to win fabulous prizes. Here is a list of some of the great items included in the raffle.

Star Wars Pez dispensers
A heavy black ball
Teachers edition Lifecycle book
Hellboy poster
"Beans are Great" pin
CD of a Japanese singer
Pen that had scissors on it
And the grand prize...
A nice jacket that only needed to be delinted a little bit

I feel a little jealous that I wasn't on the winning side of any of these items but perhaps one day my luck will change.

Cinderella

I was sitting at my kitchen table pondering on my medical terminology class when my little sister, Makenna, decided she wanted to blow bubbles with me. I told her that she would have to wait until I was finished with my chapter. The next thing I know, the window in front of me has a a face pressed up against it. Makenna had decided that she was not willing to wait for me and washing the windows was a good way to pass the time. To be honest, I think it was her first time. I watched her spray the windows, smear the cleaner around, and then proceed to press her face against the glass so I could see how good of a job that she was doing. That action resulting in a face smear that required her to redo the window again. She then decided to play a joke on me and open the window and tell me its so clean that you can't even see it. She laughed at that one really hard. I just feel for my mother who wishes that Makenna would do more chores, but the action of her doing chores ends up with someone else having to clean up after her. This window fiasco may not have been as funny if Kenna hadn't used all the remaining Windex in our house for about six windows. Now we have no Windex to clean her face smears off.
