Invasion of the Body Snatchers

I've been so busy at work that I've gone temporarily insane. Or perhaps there is something in the water. Or there's been an alien invasion and I've been taken over by a pod person. Yes, that has to be it. Nothing else could reasonably explain the acts I committed during my shopping excursion yesterday.

I, Sassy Danger Pants (yes, Danger is my middle name), self-professed hater of all things Croc, purchased a pair. I know. What could have possessed me? Well, you know how my Mom likes to rant? Sometimes those rants aren't negative, they're more like QVC salespitches. I think she wore me down. Plus, Crocs now makes a shoe that is much less like wearing wooden shoes. I bought the Mary Jane version. And yes they are comfortable and all the things they are purported to be. Ok, Mom, are you happy now? Sheesh.

The other senseless act of purchasing I committed was in the bathing suit realm. That's never a fun trip no matter how you slice it. Somehow, someway (I believe it was through subliminal mesages in the Musak) I left the store with a bikini. A bikini! What? Am I kidding me? Mind you, it's not a string bikini, and it's somewhat sporty but it sure as hell ain't a one piece, or even a tankini. People, I haven't worn a bikini since I was 5. I'm not sure it's a good time to retry the look.

Does anyone know how to lose 30 pounds in the one week I have until my vacation?

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go jog to Vancouver and back. That'll burn a couple pounds I think.

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

Addendum to Resolutions

I'm adding two things to my New Year's Resolutions - 5) Read more using this list as a guide: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I have no idea how many I've already read. I'll have to make a spreadsheet. You can do anything with a spreadsheet. Not that you should , but you can. 6) Get a massage every 6-8 weeks . This probably doesn't need an explanation. I had one for only the 3rd time this week. It's been at least 4 years since my last one. My gym has a spa attached to it and they had an intern doing free massages. Hello? Sign me up! Now that I've had one I'm wanting more. If I eat out less I might even be able to justify it. I wonder if I can write it off on my taxes?
