The little juncos scattering delicate prints in the light snow after yesterday's storm made me smile, as did seeing them, in their somber dress and bright yellow beak, enjoying the seed I threw out there for them!

I am pretty sure I am failing this midterm...actually almost positive. :o
Midterms are the worst, Alyssa. I don't have any this semester, thank goodness, but I might as well since I have two exams, a lab communication, and a crap ton of math homework due before I go on Spring break :(.
I'm sort of studying for a biology test now, but I'm finding no motivation. I have a headache, so it's hard to not wanna just sleep.
It just doesn't make sense to me, that 2 pair of sheer swag valances for my bedroom windows, cost almost as much as the new bedspread. Something's wrong with that picture! :mad:
Who turned on the cloaking device in my truck, and could someone PLEASE tell me where the damned switch is so I can turn it off?
It's big, it's white, and evidently bloody well invisible to other drivers.
Oh no! You know the state is anticipating a big mosquito crop this year with the much warmer than normal weather already. They're out here today and spraying by helicopter in the wooded areas where there is standing water - and it's still March!!!! UGH!! - mosquitoes, gnats, fleas, ticks - not at all pet friendly. :mad:
I think I'm getting a cold and I highly disapprove. Now I can't hang out with my friend this weekend :(
I may have to go jump out of the window of this classroom right now. Being in classe that suck when it's do beautiful out kills me inside. Ahhh 5 more weeks!! :(
What, praytell, does Band-Aid mean when they say something is waterproof? It's certainly not the same as my definition.........
I think I might be a little sunburnt... Guess it's good to get it out of the way early in the year so I have my base tan going :D
I love looking at Real-estate and HGTV...I really need a life;:rolleyes:
Happy birthday my dear departed friend. :love: I could never forget an April Fool's birthday, tho you certainly were no fool!
Thank you neighbors, for adding 3 beautiful horses to your yard. Now in the hot summer months, I can enjoy horseflies and that fragrant aroma of horse crap that comes as part of the package. :rolleyes:
Why does Pizza Hut send me a message saying "Bills over $20 will not be accepted for online purchases"
I didn't know there was a bill slot in my laptop?
Why, when you log out of Facebook, immediately after clicking "logout" do you get a message saying Please log in to Continue?
Maybe they will give you some of the "fertilizer" for your gardens? ;)
I always smile when, living in the city, I walk past piles of carefully packages and wrapped up manure at the farmer's market or produce market bragging about where it's from - chickens, horses, cows, etc. Poop is indeed poop! And guess what - it all IS organic!
Yes, the different manures have different contents, horses and cows are herbivores, and each one's contains different nutrients that get returned to the soil. Cats and dogs are meat eaters, so not nearly as useful for our gardens, and more unhelpful bacteria in it. It depends on what crop you are fertilizing, too. For Dad's rhubarb patch, he's get a wheelbarrow of bunny droppings from the family up the hill once a year, and the rhubarb is the envy of everyone around!
I've always heard elephant manure is the best for the garden....
But when I was a teenager and my mother had horses...people would come by for some manure for their gardens. Always pleased me as that meant that much less to scoop up!
I passed math!?!? I may have gotten a C, but I passed! AND it doesn't count toward my GPA (it's a basic skills class..but next semester I need to get serious). AND It's summer!! AND I am getting a much needed vacation to Canada and Disney World in July....ahhh life is good. More hiking this summer as well :)
Sorry, that was extremely random and childish but I am so happy!
ETA: AND this continues my record of never failing a class!
Congratulations! See we KNEW you could do it! :)
Congratulations, Alyssa!!! :D
Gotta toot my own horn for a minute...
I made an A in Food history, a B+ in musicology, a B in calculus, a B- in animal reproduction, and a C+ in biology!
I am so excited I could scream over the B- in repro. That class kicked my butt to the max and I am so proud for making a B-! And for my second time taking Biology, I am completely happy with my C+. It'll replace that awful D I had in the class the first time.
This better boost my GPA a ton. I have to have a 3.0 by the end of next semester to get my scholarship back!
I tried Turkey Hill Farms Sun Tea because I had a coupon. It is very weak tea, I was expecting something stronger from the color. So if you like your iced tea strong, skip it! My little public service announcement.
Why are so many unpleasant memories surfacing lately - 99% of which are of the ex and our crappy marriage. This has passed and I want it to stay in the past. Leave me alone! I don't like living on the dark side! :mad:
I hate that t.v. commercial for ASPCA, where they show the caged/neglected/abused dogs and cats, and the background music is Willy Nelson singing "You Were Always On My Mind". It's so sad, and always makes me teary-eyed. I wish I wasn't such a marshmallow...............:(
Those commercials are needless, and mainly support the ASPCA hierarchy, not local animal groups.
On another topic entirely, I bought a small pruning saw.
On the package? Warning: Blade is sharp.
I certainly hope so, it's a saw!:confused:
Burn Notice has stumped and shocked me time and time again...but this episode takes the cake. :(
Isn't Band-Aid is a fund for needy musicians?
---------------------
If you arrange to be creamated and you are overcharged, are you burned twice?
When you drive downs the street and see a "SLOW CHILDREN" sign, does that mean the kids in the neighborhood are not that bright?
Why is there a sight on my NERF gun?
Why are 'easy opening' packages hard to close and "Reclosable" packages hard to open?
Why is it when I adjust the 'brightness' level on my TV, I still get the channel the Kardashians are on?
Just got sent a "Recipe of the Day" for homemade potato chips. Why in God's name would anyone want to make their own potato chips, given the amount opt effort, work and precision that goes into make a good, crispy chip, when any supermarket offers a plethora of choices with no more effort than picking a bag and paying for it?
Lots ands lots of things are better when homemade, but potato chips? Nah!
I do not understand why people complain about customer service all the time.
I spoke to a gent behind the counter today that was so professional it was scary.
Maybe it's the AHs that walk into businesses w/an attitude are the real problem?:mad:
If you had been a fly on the wall with my last round of chats with Directv you'd understand why people complain about customer service.
Don't put me on hold then say "you weren't on hold, you were just waiting for our rep. The rep was still on the line". For 20 minutes? No, sorry, nothing takes that long for a simple issue that you told me you'd take care of a month ago.
Under the subcategory of weather oddities ...
We had thunderstorms yesterday, and the humidity and heat are still here, so are expecting another round today. The air is thick. I just had looked out the window, and noticed the wind was picking up, so decided to walk over and check the mail, and then move the car before the rain started. Mail hadn't come yet, moved the car, and then as I was shutting the car door rain started, big fat drops. I scooted inside, and walked to the back of the place to see if I needed to shut the screen door ... and it's not raining behind, just in front! How's that for a localized shower!
Just thinking..... the Republicans and the Democrats together raised well over 500 million dollars in the last three months. I wonder what the election would look like and which party would be elected if they both donated all these funds to a worthy cause or even the deficit, rather than spending them on negative advertizing?
I have class in an hour and a half and I'm still laying in bed. Ohh, college problems.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of September 11, 2001 - date and day. I was thinking that today has been a lot like that day -- sunny, clear and warm. A beautiful September morning. I had started a new job the previous week, and was getting ready to go train with a co-worker who worked from home. I remember Katie Couric saying on the Today show that there was a strange incident involving a plane in Manhattan. I drove out to my co-worker's house and somehow we got through the day. When I got back to the office in late afternoon, they had news streaming on one of the computers and they had followed it most of the day. That's how I found out all that had taken place. Then all the planes were grounded. I live under a busy northbound approach to O'Hare, so no planes overhead was extremely weird and quiet. Big prayers for our world.
I am running on 3 hours of sleep from last night, because I was up doing math homework. I still have to study for bio and wake up at 6 AM to get there on time. Why does anyone care? I don't know. I just don't get how I am not half dead right now. The weekend couldn't come soon enough.
My dead old grandpappy said, " You can do whatever you want, grow a pair ", he was quite right.
Karen, your post made me really happy:) It's nice to know that. Sometimes, I just sit here wondering if all the stress is worth it, but this helped - thanks. I got a 90% on one quiz I had today, don't know about the 2nd on yet!
