Well, I knew it. The minute I'd say "wow, this coding stuff ain't too bad," I would discover otherwise. Oh well. I still find it all interesting, just exhausting and confusing as well. Erg. Researchers- cheers to you.
How does that saying go- something about "hats off to you!" What does that mean exactly and where does it come from? Don't people take off hats as part of a greeting?
Hmph. Eyes are dry, brain feels fried, but I have a Twix bar. Things are looking up.

FreeBie Friday:
Since I didn't say Thank You yesterday- here they be today:
Thank you to those bloggers that blogged to their hearts content during my study.
Thank you to those bloggers what will continue to blog on the BB because a) it's fun, b) it helps 'em out with their thoughts and rants, and c) they think its a neat idea.
Thank you to Neil for emailing me back about moving the BB to a NDSU server.. we might be moving ya'll! To our own homesite... whee! I am excited! More design ideas.. more fun... more images.. more features. I am drooling.
Thank you to my bf. You make even my dullest nights fun with a good run around the snow-filled yard chasing your ferret.
The Best Freebies:
-Good advice.
-Homemade beauty secrets. (like using egg whites to tighten your face)
-Imported beer left in your fridge after a party.
-Change found on the ground.. or in your own pockets while you are doing laundry.
-Hand-me down clothes. (they're already worn in too!)
-A Diet Coke burp.
-A really good joke told on a crappy day. (followed by a gut-wrenching laugh of 5 min.)
-Conversations with good friends.
-A weblog.
Have a fabulous weekend!

Mornin' all.
Chelsea and Helene.. yea, I don't know how to feel either. Someone asked me: "How would you feel if that was your daughter?" and I thought.. well, I would hope by the seventh grade I would have talked to her about sexuality since she'd be going through puberty at that time if not earlier.
I realize people are sensitive about it, but then to help that you need to TALK about it. It doesn't sound like it was talked about at the other school as much as it was here. What does that tell those other seventh graders? = that gay is wrong.
And I don't know if it was the term "boys" that was "bad" or what. I think some people still associate gay= pedophile which is WAY OFF the mark. Maybe he thought that would draw attention, but I keep thinking- these kids watch Will and Grace, etc.. they know WAY more about life then we give them credit for. And they are much more accepting of others than their parents are sometimes. This all comes from my own experience teaching, etc. I am not a parent yet so who knows what I'll think then...
Helene, thanks for noticing my photo. :-)

Ticked Off Tuesday:
I am just really ticked off that I woke up all faintish and nauseous today.
And I am ticked off that I can't spend one day not doing something on a computer or not running a million errands. What happened to the days of doing NOTHING? Erg.
I am ticked off at myself for those times when I think "man, I wish I had something to do" because THEN all of a sudden, a day later you have too much to do.
Irritated girl needs a nap and some food maybe?

I remember when I was a freshman, and I would plan my days around my naps. I can recall being in almost any class and just looking forward to my bed. My pjs. Sleeping. Then again, I was anorexic and when I slept, I couldn't hear my stomach growl.
I remember when just a handful of weeks ago I was having trouble sleeping and now I can't get enough of it. I am always sleepy. I have a theory that this is just going to lead up to another week or two of sleeplessness. *knocks on wood*
Anyone know what is happening out west? Across my t.v. just awhile ago were a whole truckload of cancellations. Anybody? Anybody?

Holla! <-- my sis's new favorite thing to end sentences with. Weirdo.
I am half way to figuring out the first week. Now I am going to utilize a little technology called word count in Word to do the rest... then, plan a meeting with Salting.
Why are my eyes so constantly dry? It is past annoying now.
Where is the storm that was suppose to hit?
P.S. For the fun of it all, we're going to keep on keepin' on with the topics from last week until someone strangles me into changing 'em. :-) Okay.. strangle is harsh.. smacks me with a 2x4? :-P
