Ten on Tuesday

How, oh how could it be a new week and the very last day of the month? I digress. Let's move on to the event of the day.

1. I am newly interested in The Band Perry. I hated their first single, but the current "If I Die Young" is haunting yet oddly attractive. I recommend it.

2. Snapple fact #776: Ferret comes from the Latin word for little thief. Nowwww I know where all my stuff disappears to. Darn ferret.

3. My apartment is awesome. Women between the ages of 21 and 30 should be lining up around the block for a chance to occupy the third room. So why the heck can we not find a roommate?! I went as far as sending pics of the place to a girl that saw our ad on Facebook, then the girl falls off the freakin' earth. Haven't heard from her in almost a week. I am channeling unhappy thoughts in her direction, wherever that may be.

4. My bosses (hub & wife) gave me a precious arrangement of flowers and a sympathy card for my grandma's passing. I thought it was very sweet. It was also a coworkers birthday so I got vanilla ice cream with m&ms on top.

5. I babysat last night for a family that I see every once in a while. The 4 year old girl asked me why my ponytail was so big. I told her I have thick curly hair. She said it looked funny. Oh, such tact they possess. Also the other girl (14 months) kept pushing buttons on the dvd player so I gave her a little swat on the hand. She then proceeded to hit me back. I don't think she understood what I was getting at...

6. Usually, I consider myself to be pretty bright. My grades in school reflected an intelligent kid. However, I fear I am slipping. Not that I'm suddenly dumb, but I forget things all the time. Like, things I just did at work I can't remember if I did them or where I left off. Sometimes I'm pretty sure the customers think I'm a little slow. I need to hop on that herb train and start taking my ginko-biloba.

7. I have this great invention in mind and I think I could make millions. No, I'm not referring to my Poop-Off bird poo cleaner. This one I think I would call Insta-Baby. For those of us who are future and existing mothers, this baby would fulfill sudden bouts of baby fever. Do I really want a baby right now? No. Do I want a warm, soft, cuddly human-sized/shaped object scented like baby that coos and giggles and doesn't poop or cry that I can put in a handy tote bag until next use? Absolutely.

8. My application to the accelerated nursing program at APU is nearly complete with references, essay, and all. It's all good fun until I actually submit it and then I quiver in anticipation for the next 6 months. Then what happens if I get accepted?? Then I have to go! I have to take 15 months off from life and swim laps in sick people's vomit and feces.. and I have to like it! But if I don't get accepted... hmmm. Destined for community college and life behind the counter at Sir Speedy Printing...?

9. Jesenia's wedding in the Dominican Republic is drawing nearer and I am so excited. It's a little bit of a downer that I have almost an entire semester of school to complete before the event. I will probably start packing 2 months in advance so it will feel sooner that it is. Sir Speedy printed tote bags for guest favors for the wedding and today Jes asked me if we could print hotel door hangers. She wants them to say: 'DO NOT DISTURB! We were up all night partying for Jesenia & Chris' wedding.' I love it.

10. Number ten number ten. Oh internet, I think you have had a sufficient glimpse into my mind for the day. Au revoir.
