Since so many people who visit gastroenterologists tend to be, uh, large, shall we say, the chairs are all over-sized. It's fabulous. It makes me feel slightly less chubby. Always a good thing.
On the other hand, the scales they have are not the normal Dr's office scales. They're, uh, "big people" scales, which naturally makes me feel huge.
Interesting times.

A little tip for all of the wives out there
When you're husband gets bored with his talking Homer Simpson bottle opener, DON'T buy him a talking Homer Simpson pizza cutter to make up for it. Sure, he loves it, but will *you* love hearing it played over and over and over again? I doubt it.
More to come later in the week.

Yes, yes, I know it's been 3 weeks since my last post...
I'm in the middle of final exams and will come out of my cave soon. I promise.
In the meantime, I thought I'd give all of you a link to this story. Really, there just aren't any words to describe it. I guess the best one that comes to mind is "Ewwww!", followed by some major retching.

A meme
I'm on break from school this week and have a LOT of work to do, as well as a lot of schoolwork to catch up on. I thought I'd take a break and post in the blog. This time I stole a meme from my sister.

9) I used to speak (nearly) fluent Spanish but I haven't used it in years so I've lost much of what I've known

Sorry for the low posting
The thing is: I go to school full time and have 4 jobs. The little bit of time I get to spend with hub and the fab four is precious.
On the bright side, when I finally have a break I'll have plenty to talk about!
Aren't you excited?

Happy 1 year anniversary Bloggedy Blog Blog!
Actually, the 1 year anniversary was on 11/1. Oh well. I'm usually late.
In honor of my oh-so-frickin-fabulous blog, I'm going to do a meme. I swiped it from my sister's blog.
True or False. Feel free to elaborate on your answers.
1. I'm at my best in the early morning: True, as long as "in the early morning" means "1-3 am, after I've been up all day." I guess most people would consider that "the middle of the night" though.
2. I start each day with a healthy breakfast: True. It consists of coffee and sometimes a glazed donut. If I don't have to commute to school, then it's cereal. :) (It's healthy for my emotions, not my body.)
3. I'm always sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night: False. 8 or 9 hours of sleep at night would be a dream come true. Realistically I get about 6, sometimes only 5, depending on how late I was up (usually finishing a lab report that I put off until the last minute).
4. I enjoy my job: True, for the most part. It depends on the job (at this point, I have 5) and what's going on at the time. ;) (I *love* being frustratingly generic).
5. I get along with most everyone: True, believe it or not. Even if people annoy the crap out of me, I can still manage to get along with them. "Getting along" doesn't always mean "liking to the extent of friendship."
6. I'm looking forward to the new season of tv shows this year: False. Sure, I watch plenty of TV but I could also live without it. All of it. I'd probably get more homework done that way.
7. I make sure I take some time for myself every day: False. Time for myself? What the hell is that? I do it sometimes, not every day though. It usually involves sitting on my arse in front of the TV with knitting needles in my hands (because, like I fool, I decided to make blankets for most of my family this year).
xo,

Welcome to the 21st Century, mom!
She finally got a cell phone. :)
Exams are over, I think I did OK. Now I have more labs to write. They're multiplying. I have 3 of them to finish today, which means that I'm stuck inside with my nose in a book on a glorious, sunny day. Lucky me.
I just spent a fabulous couple of days in Montreal with my sister though, and Hub made me blueberry muffins for breakfast this morning, so I guess it all evens out. Now it's time to work.
Happy early Halloween to all!

Dear everyone,
Instead of emailing all of you, I'm simply going to post it here.
I have 3 exams and 3 labs due this week so I'm going to be freakishly busy until all of this is over with (after Halloween).
Forgive me if you're waiting for a response to any type of communication. I'll get back to you when I come out of my study-cave. I promise. :)

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have flooding.
Well not hub and I, personally, thank goodness. Cambridge, VT does though. Lots of it. Enough to close down Rt. 15 and send me on a 7 mile detour through the Notch in order to get to class. At least it's a really pretty drive. The leaves on the trees on that side of the mountain haven't fallen off yet so I get an extra dose of our September colors.
The town basically sits at the base of a few mountains and has a river running through the middle of it, so it didn't really stand a chance. The Boyden Valley Farm & Winery is a mess. Their entire field is a giant pond. They have a corn maze off to the side and you can only see the top 1 or 2 feet of the corn stalks. On the bright side, the cows across the road are OK. Their grazing area is extremely hilly so they only have to deal with a little bit of mud.
Let's see, other news this week: The parakeets have a new (larger) cage and this mop of curls on top of my head that most people call "hair" is finally almost back to being shoulder-length. I've waited over a year for this. Yay. :)
Pretty boring stuff, huh? Welcome to my life.
Time for homework,

God help us, it's back!
The El Camino. That's right folks, I saw it with my own eyes. I thought that perhaps I was hallucinating since it was early in the morning and I hadn't finished my first cup of coffee yet. Unfortunately, I was able to verify its return simply by checking Chevy's website. Ugh.
The tackiest vehicle ever created has been put back on the market. Apparently Chevy thinks that renaming it the "SSR" will help its image. We can't be fooled though. It's just a souped up, extra-pretty El Camino wannabe.
To prevent copyright problems, I didn't take the picture from their website. If you want to see it with your own eyes, you can click here. Make sure to look at the yellow one in the second row down, second picture in from the left. See what I mean?
At least it's not quite as ugly as the Subaru Baja.
Happy driving,
Ms. V

Sometimes the joke is just too easy
The family lives in Arkansas. They've just welcomed baby #16. The father's name is Jim Bob. The mother was only 17 when they got married AND she has a mullet.
Can't beat that.

Considering a tubal ligation,
Ms. V
*Edited to add a disclaimer: I mean absolutely no disrespect to the former Congressman and his family. In fact, I hope they're very happy. I am not - in any way - making fun of them with this post. I only mean to say that their situation will likely give the comedians some good material because Arkansas, to some, has been (probably unfairly) stereotyped as being a bit of a "hick" state.

An influence over young girls
This past weekend I taught my 10 year old cousin a very important lesson: When asked if she prefers platinum or gold, ALWAYS SAY PLATINUM.
:)
Ms. V
:)
Ms. V
A big adjustment for Ms. V.
I'm spoiled rotten. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled absolutely disgustingly rotten. By Hub.
For the past 6 years I've driven my lovable little Geo Prism. I swore I'd never give it up. I'm way too attached. Unfortunately, the time has come to move on. Hub has supplied me with a Toyota 4-Runner. The Prism will go to my sister who needs it far more than I do right now. :sigh: Take good care of her, sis!
Anyway, I've also gotten pretty attached to my license plate. I've had that for 6 years too. Today I went to the DMV in the new truck and got a new license plate number. It felt very, very strange. I'm slowly adjusting.
For the past decade I've driven small cars. The Geo most recently, before that I had a Toyota Tercel, and before that I had a Ford Probe (it's fun to see the looks on people's faces when I say "I had a probe once."). Driving this monster is going to take some getting used to. In fact, the first day I took it for a spin I actually fell out of it when I opened the door. Hub laughed. I'm used to being much closer to the ground. You're allowed to laugh too. I really did fall out.
The difficult part of driving a large vehicle after 10 years of driving small cars is that I can no longer zip in and out of traffic or fit into small parking spaces.
The fun part is that I'm bigger than other cars now. Watch out.

OK, a few years ago, only one day after a concert in Montreal, Dave Matthews walked out of a Roots store and bumped into my sister. Literally. Actually I don't think they made contact but she had to stop short, if I remember correctly. :swoon: It was Dave. Dave the god. Dave the man I'd leave hub for (well, not really - but close!).
Five minutes ago I called her on her cell phone, only to be greeted by a bunch of background noise.
Me: Hey - what's up? Where are you?
Her: Hey - what's up? I'm at a hockey game in Toronto.
Me: Oh, wow! I didn't know you were going to Toronto this weekend.
Her: Um, Don Cherry just walked past us.
Me: Really?
Her: Yeah, he just shook Jon's hand.
First Dave, then Don. The closest brush I had with fame was setting off alarms at the Whitehouse during the Clinton administration. Oh yeah, I got Graig Nettles' autograph once. It was way back when the Mets were still good. I think I was in elementary school.
Time to go shopping for a new computer desk!

You'll laugh so hard that you might actually begin to convulse.
This is the first blog I've found that is actually MORE funny than the famous "Stuck in Rehab with Pat O'Brien" (which, by the way, is still linked at the right for those who haven't seen it yet).
Check out this beauty: http://youknitwhat.blogspot.com/
It will soon be added to the "blogs I read" section on the right hand side. I just don't have time to mess with the template right now.
Honestly, you'll laugh until you cry.

Exams, round 1.
So here's the rundown:
I did better on the Organic Chemistry exam than I expected (a lot better, actually).
I did worse on the Ecology exam than I expected (only a little bit worse, it was only by a few points). He drops the lowest exam grade, so as long as I do better on the next two, I'll be fine.
I took two exams yesterday - Music (it was super-easy) and Physics 2 (also super-easy).
Round one: finished.
Round two: bring it on!
What else is going on? This weekend I get to hike Mt. Mansfield to collect soil samples and measure the diameter of trees. As long as it's nice it'll be a good day. On the other hand, I haven't been hiking in about 8 years so attacking VT's highest peak is going to nearly kill me. I have to work at 11pm that night. I can only imagine how much pain I'll be in on Sunday after all of this is done.
Chugging away,
