Comment Question

I'm not sure that blogging this question will help at all, but I'm going to try.

I follow several blogs, and I love to comment on what I read! I think that the point of blogging is to share ideas and inspire conversation. The problem I'm having is that with a couple of the blogs I follow (namely Fit Foodie Finds and Wonder Woman Wannabe) is that I can't find the "Comments" link. And it frustrates me! Am I missing something??? Am I losing my eyesight? I know I wear glasses, but I didn't think that my eyes were that bad...

If you're reading this, and you can help me, I would be so very grateful. I might have to hug you. Unless you live in another state. Then I'd just send you a thank you card. Or e-mail. Something like that.

'Fess Up Friday: Kolaches, Chickens, and Littering

Happy Friday Blogville!!! Only 7 more weeks of school! And only 10 weeks till I get married! Holy crud, there's a LOT going on. My sister is still in the hospital, but they've moved her to a regualr room, so that is an improvement. I hope she gets to go home today. She's been really bored because even though she's been sick enough to be in ICU, she doesn't feel very bad.

I'm reading The Lightning Thief. It's really good. It's one of those books that I can't read fast enough. I just want to curl up in bed and read till I'm finished with it. But I haven't had the time to be able to do that. Ugh.

We're taking engagement photos on Sunday, and I still haven't found time to go shopping for an outfit. Grr. Oh well. Everything will work out and it will be good. And now, here's what you've all been waiting for: my confessions! Enjoy! And have a splendiforous day!

• On Sunday after church, my fiancé, myself and a friend of ours piled in Matt's car and drove to a town about an hour away to get kolaches. Let me repeat, we drove almost an hour to get kolaches. If you were wondering about our priorities, now you know.

• On the way back from Kolache town, I saw a live chicken on the side of the freeway, next to the dividing wall between the North and Southbound sides. After my initial shock at seeing a chicken on the freeway ("Holy crap! Is that a live chicken?????"), my first thought was, "That isn't going to be a live chicken for long..."

• I was driving with my sister and my fiancé last night. We had gone to Wendy's earlier in the evening and were headed to Sonic for ice cream when we had to stop at a red light. My sister opened her door, threw her Wendy's cup out of the car and said, "I mess with Texas." I was all set to lecture her about the importance of not littering when my fiancé handed her his cup so she could throw it out, too. Mortified.

• I just used the word splendiforous. I don't think that's even a word outside of UrbanDictionary.

Tuesday's Tidings

This has been such a dreary day. The weather is cold and wet and so far today, the following things have happened:

• My mom texted me to tell me that my little sister is in the hospital
• During my first class, a kid I don't normally have trouble with snapped at me,
• My second class didn't come due to a field trip, and it's just been sooo slow.
• I'm still waiting to hear from my mom that my sister is okay, and to top it all off,
• I forgot that I needed to go to the store on my way to work this morning to get something to have for lunch.

Blah. I hope your Tuesday is going better than mine.

April Fool's... A Few Days Early

Last night at church, I go to talking with a friend about practical jokes. February 16 was their 16th wedding anniversary, and on their first April Fool's Day, she convinced him she was pregnant. Oh lordy. Anyway, to get in the spirit of this mischievous day, I wanted to know a little about it's history. I searched the topic on Wikipedia, and was unimpressed with the results. Apparently, no one really knows when the tradition of playing pranks on the "fool" began.

So then I wanted to know about the most hilarious pranks. Since I am not a prankster myself, I am always amazed at the creativity of those who are. (Once, after coming back to the office from a work-related trip, I discovered that a co-worker had wrapped EVERYTHING on my desk in newspaper. Every pen, every pencil, the tape dispenser, stapler, and even my computer... and it wasn't even April Fools!)

In that research, I found that many people have pulled some pretty epic pranks. I found some pictures on Google that I just had to share. Enjoy. And may you not be as horribly pranked as some of these people.

Personally, I find this one pretty tack-y. Sorry, couldn't help it, the pun just jumped out.





I don't even want to know where they got that much plastic wrap.

This is just mean.

I think that my friend would've done this, but it would've broken her heart to waste that many Post-It notes.

'Fess Up Friday



So I followed a friend of mine to a blog called Kissing the Joy as It Flies where I found something called "'Fess Up Friday". I'm jumping on the bandwagon and am going to start 'fessing up each Friday. Here we go.

• I finally gave in and went to see the chiropractor my sister works for. When he popped my neck back into place, I cried. Not because it hurt, but because I can't stand the sound of popping joints.

• Yesterday, I stuck to my Special K diet for lunch and breakfast, I did level two of Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred for the first time. On the way home from working out, I went to Wendy's and got extra chicken nuggets. Talk about cancelling out the good stuff.

• I went to school yesterday wearing flip-flops. That's against the dress code. Why did I do this? I wasn't awake enough to realize what shoes I'd put on when I dressed myself.

• I called a kid by the wrong name 4 times in 30 minutes. His last name is Polk. I keep calling him James, after the former President. Who was President from 1845-1849. It's not like I was alive then.

• I found this picure. Enough said.
  

Alrighty, I think that'll do it for my first try. :-) Have a good weekend everyone!

Borrowing Underwear

Spring break is over. Sad day! It was sooo hard to get up this morning. At least I like my job and I was blessed by the time off. Such a busy week though! I feel like I hardly had time to breathe, which is not good, considering I was planning to sleep through the whole week. :-)

The break started early for me (due to food poisoning from my birthday dinner) and I spent most of Thursday and Friday in my bathroom, praying for Jesus to come back. By Friday evening though, I had managed to keep down a few slices of toast and was no longer running for the bathroom or gasping in pain as a cramp seemingly ripped through my abdomen. Praise God for acidophilus and for my friend Jacqueline, who told me about it.

Saturday began the family birthday celebrations, and I hung out with my family for most of the day (my sisters' birthdays are a week before and four days after mine). Sunday, we sprang forward and I still made it to church on time. :-) I was SOOO looking forward to catching some major Zzzz's while Matt worked on Monday, but at 7:30, my phone rang and it was my wonderful fiancé, who had hurt his wrist doing laundry (he tripped on a shirt). He thought it was broken and wanted me to take him to CareNow. So what did I do? I lugged myself out of bed and went to work out at 7:30 on the first day of Spring Break. Then I went and took Matt to CareNow. (His wrist is sprained, not broken). They told him not to go back to work till Saturday, so we got to spend the week together and that was really nice. We spent Tuesday doing wedding stuff (I picked out my flowers!!!) and on Wednesday, we had lunch with my grandparents.

Thursday and Friday, we babysat Amanda's little guy. We took him to the courthouse downtown on Thursday, and on Friday, we went all over kingdom come with him. My favorite moment from those two days? We went to Target because Matt needed to buy some underwear. Ethan didn't want to go shopping, apparently, because the next words out of his mouth were, "You can borrow some of my dad's."

What a week! 10 more weeks of school. 49 more school days (plus a few inservice days, but I'm not counting those). 12 total weeks until my wedding. I'm so excited!!! I hope the time flies by. Everyone keeps telling my that it will.

Success!!!

Check out this sweet action: I had my first fitting for alterations on my wedding dress last night. When I bought the dress, it was just a bit too small and we were planning to have it let out. That was when I went into panic mode concerning my weight and began the Special K diet and started working out two or 3 times a week. That was about a month and a half ago. Last night, when I tried on the dress, the seamstress told me that the dress fit perfectly around the middle and proceeded to pin it up to take it in around my bustline!!!!

And I bought my shoes!!! Sparkly white Converse sneakers. Heck yes. :-)

And today is my birthday. Such a good present. :-) Wedding in 93 days. Spring break in 2 days!!! Yay! Have a good afternoon everyone!!!
