I put the pro in procrastination

At this moment, this is how I feel.

Hi peeps! I'm currently sitting in my second home, the Science Resource Center, and trying to figure out what to write my paper on that is due in..oh... an hour. Since I'm such a pro at procrastination I decided to say hi to all of you instead. Don't judge. I am a very responsible student (I swear) and I know my teacher won't care if I email it to him tomorrow. Plus this paper isn't even graded. So there.

Anyway, life has been good lately. I've been super busy with school, and Botany has taken over my life. I have three weeks until I graduate and am trying to calmly make it through. I still have no word from the big kids school, and it is very stressful to know I am done here and have nothing lined up for next fall. Patience is not a virtue I was blessed with and I have to come to terms with the fact that this is out of my control (which is also hard to deal with). I guess I'm learning to roll with the punches, let the tide take me where it will. Something like that.

Any ideas on how to be patient?

Snowpocalypse 2011

It snowed today.

School was canceled.

People were told to stay home from work.

It was basically a city-wide emergency.

This is what my backyard looked like at 8:30 this morning.

 Don't I have a cute snow lined street?

 

Now I understand that this is not snow. 

This is Oregon snow.

If this were real snow, at 4 o'clock,  my backyard would look like this:

Yeah, ice sculpture and all.

Instead at 4 o'clock my backyard looked like this:

 

Man I love living in Eugene.

Let snoring dogs lie...

Today was an extremely productive day.

Today we woke up early (for us lately) and took the children for a walk in the morning drizzle.

Then we came home and cleaned the garage. 

Then the Christmas decoration boxes went into the clean garage. 


Then we opened one Christmas present, it wasn't what we thought but it's still awesome.


Then I met C at the gym for some cardio-chat time.


All while this was going on:

All day.

Alllllll day. 

Bastards.


Goodnight Peeps!

Dog-Child take notes...

I just saw this video on my gal Stacy's blog.


Before I comment, just watch:


Dog-child you're officially being put on notice.

Why can't you be more like the dog on YouTube?

You don't do our laundry, you eat it.
You don't throw out the trash, you eat it.
You don't open the doors for me when my hands are full, you stand in front of me and force me to trip over you. Then you eat the groceries.


Seriously, it's time to step it up. 
You're lucky you're so damn cute.

 

Things I learned today...

What did I do today?

I made a cake, and cupcakes. With just a hand mixer cause I'm not cool enough for a fancy stand mixer.

Did a ton of dishes. I do them ALL by hand, I'm pretty sure my dishwasher is the first one ever made.

Took a nap.

Made Brinner. Breakfast for dinner, and this isn't entirely true, I started then almost cut off my finger and the mister finished. Don't worry, I'm okay.

And I learned two important things:

Number One:

 
Created by Oatmeal

That's pretty good right? Only 41% chance that my family wants me for Brinner...could be worse.

Except dogchild didn't get any of the bacon grease tonight...there was evil in those eyes, pure evil.

AND....

Number Two:


Created by Oatmeal

That's right peeps, when the zombie apocalypse happens and I eventually get bitten, you'll have 1 hour and 17 minutes before I turn on you and eat your brains. 


Nommmm....brains.


I swear that's what mutley said to me while she was planning my demise. 

What can I say, the bitch likes bacon. 

Like momma like dogchild.
