    Six*

    A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife turning back and forth, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she’d like to have for her birthday. “I’d like to be six again”, she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster– everything there was. Five hours later…

    Perpetually Procrastinating*

I just want to be done school sooooooooo badly. :( My cold still feels like it is ever so slowly coming on… I’ve been waking up with a really sore throat that kind of subsides as the day goes on.

    Stupid People*

    Stupid People – by Andy Rooney “Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, ‘I’m Stupid.’ That way you wouldn’t rely on them, would you? You wouldn’t ask them anything. It would be like, Excuse me…oops…never mind, didn’t see your sign.’ “It’s like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My neighbor comes over and says, ‘Hey, you moving?’ Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here’s your sign.’ “A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine,…

    New Regime*

    So. I didn’t post my weight yesterday because it hasn’t moved… again. Mind you, I haven’t been eating the best either. I know that restrictive eating isn’t very good– but neither is some of the crap I’ve been eating lately because I’ve been too busy to prepare something decent. So. The foods that I will be cutting out for the next little while are: 1. Fast food/pizza2. Pop3. Chips4. Junk food in general (except popcorn… that is a life necessity) I want to replace these with: 1. More fruit2. More vegetables3. More water So… I’m going to start today and see how I do. Hopefully this will help me a…
