Now It's Time To Forget It All

Done and done. I finished my final probably a minute ago. One thing I like about these finals, is that, even though they give you 3 hours to do them, since they aren't open book, I fly through them. Not because I know the answers, of course, but I can't spend time looking the answers up. Wish I could.

I did pretty well, I think. I had to skip a couple of questions that I just didn't know the answer to, and I got a bunch wrong at the end because I had to guess, but at least I didn't fail, right? Unfortunately, my 4.0 GPA is no longer existent, though I blame the fact that they keep using the latin names for herbs, and I can't remember those. The names have nothing in common with the common names, and I need something to tie the two together. The only one I can remember is garlics (which is allium sativum. I'm so smart!), but that's because apparently it can cure anything, so they talk about it a lot. Oh, and I recognize dandelions when I see it, though I can't spell it.

I also have a hard time with the big medical words that explain why marshmallow root is good for sore throats, or why licorice root is good for ulcers, or why garlic is the herbal gift from God. I just can't remember what goes with what, because I can't pronounce the words. And there are a lot of them that sound really similar, but do really different things.

At any rate, I think my final grade will be a low A. We shall see. Now I'm off to shower off the stink of learning. No one wants THAT smell hanging around them.

Give Me A Spoon, It's Time For Dessert

Can you believe that this woman is considered plus size in the modeling world?



Apparently this is because she actually looks like a woman, instead of a 12 year old boy.

Her name is Crystal Renn, and I guess she's making some big splash in the modeling circles because she keeps getting spreads in big name magazines like Vogue and Elle and whatnot. I just think she's incredibly hot and sexy.

She makes me giddy; I could eat her with a spoon. I don't understand how anyone could possibly look at her and think her fat. I would start exercising if I was promised I would end up looking like her.

Yes, I know that she is still being photoshopped (no one I know has skin that perfect), and I'm sure some of the spreads are making her thinner, but STILL. They aren't making her look like a stick, and they can do that. I saw some video on Youtube (what a pantheon of integrity, right?) where someone did that. Took a large woman in lingerie and made her skinny. Hold on, let me see if I can find it. . . . .




Yep, here it is. Warning, there is a bare ass. Just so you know.

And here is another awesomely godessy picture of her finishing a fashion show for Jean-Paul Gaultier. Apparently this is a huge deal. I guess. I certainly wouldn't know.



Yum!

The Man said that her dress looks like spring threw up down the front, but I've got to say, this is actually pretty tame compared to some runway show pictures I've seen. It could conceivably be worn in public. Or maybe she just makes it look that way.


Anyway, I officially have a girl crush on her. So how about some more hottie photos?

Oven Update

Remember our broken oven? Yeah, Santa came early this year. Thanks Dog Friends! We now have a free standing range where our old fridge used to be, and the old oven is out of the wall and currently sitting in front of our patio door. Great place for it, let me tell you. And someday, we might even get it to the dump!

All You Want For Christmas Is What I'm Giving You. And You'd Better Like It, Buster, Or No Dessert.

OR

This Years Random Crap Pileup (Now with pictures!)

So, I really should stop surfing the web for more crochet patterns. I've got more than I could possibly make in a lifetime. But I have to have my fix, man! I've got it under control, really. I can stop whenever I want to. I just don't want to. Luckily for me, most of them are on the computer, so people don't know about my obsession.



Apparently Cat 2 doesn't support Nintendo. Who would have guessed?


My birthday bonfire. From one of the best parties I ever had, ever. You girls are awesome and totally need to come scorch my table again after Christmas!


This is plantain. You can totally eat it. Or use it for bug bites (I think. I'll have to look that up). Or drink tea from it. I took a picture because I recognized it thanks to my schoolage. Me so smrt.


An orange slug. It's my new mascot. If only someone would tell me how to post it for my banner picture, I'd be all set.


The Man's hands after he got bit (accidentally) trying to break up a dog fight.


Dog 1 decided that this was an appropriate response to "lay down" when she wanted to watch whatever it was that was outside.


Random prize of my choosing to the first person to spot the anomaly.


This is how deep the hole was (we were staking our tree straight. Can't have gay trees, it's unnatural). It's not real clear, but it wasn't very deep. Not even 2 feet. It also wasn't very wide.


This is how many rocks came out of that hole. Our yard grows rocks.

And gay trees.


It's a dog party! The 3 extra dogs belong to The Dog Friends.


After 3 years, and a compromise involving a big screen tv, it's finally coming off! I just wish I had gotten a picture of it in all it's hideous glory before, but I didn't think about it.


And last but not least:

A GUESSING GAME!!! (no guessing if you already know.)






Any takers?







Come on, the last one should have been a dead giveway.







Ah, I thought you guys were smarter than that!



Yep.


Screw fixing it. Who wants to buy me a new oven for Christmas?


P.S. You want to read my sink story again. It has pictures now. Yay!
