A sight less ordinary.

So I'm driving out to my parent's house and I'm on this two lane road surrounded by some cows and what not. And as I reach the bottom of this hill, what do I see? A sight very similar to the one on this movie poster...minus the creepy clouds. Oh, and the person was a woman not some creepy guy in a butcher suit. But there she was walking down the side of the road with a HUGE chainsaw in her hand. And while I felt sorry for her for lugging the thing down the road, I wasn't about to pull over and give her a lift. That's how people end up on the front page of newspapers. Anywho, I didn't return home that same way to see if any unsuspecting victim gave her a ride but I'm guessing probably not.

$425.00 = A whole lot of frickin' work

I think the picture is self explanatory.

Real life is WAY overrated.

At the beginning of last semester I posted a blog about how some people think that grad school is like living safely in a bubble secure from real life. While during the actual semester, that's totally not the case, I'm pretty sure that I can say winter break has been very much like living in some bubble. Sporadically working, sleeping until 10 or 11, traveling hundreds of miles, hanging out with friends and family, and having the man around to distract me was very surreal. I knew it would all end eventually and I'd have to wake up and drag my butt off to work at the crack of dawn with the rest of the world, but I can't help but think how nice just one more day would have been. All morning long I've had Diamond Rio's One More Day With You stuck in my head. I'd have to agree with the song, one more day really would just leave me wishing for one more. I've been spoiled rotten and can't help but feel blessed. If the first few days are any indication of how this year is going to go, 2008 should be fantastic! I'm really going to enjoy working on my resolution this year!
