Thing No. 2,005

I have often referenced my book of 2,001 things to do before you die.
I just came up with another one.
Thanks to Katy's blog about her calendar, and then her comment on my blog about the comment I made on her blog.
I've decided that in December, or sometime when people are buying calendars, I'm going to write my birthday in on the calendar along with my PO box and see how many cards I get.
Well... maybe not my birthday cause that is in January and when people pick up a calendar, they at least look at the first month..... and then it wouldn't be much of a surprise. Plus if I get caught I could end up buying a lot of "vandalized" calendars.
Maybe I need to think this through a bit more.

A Whole New Meaning to Tree Hugger

Russian doctors found a fir tree growing inside a man's lungs the other day.

Isn't that nuts?
I guess he inhaled a seed and it sprouted.
Here is the story
From the pictures I found through google-image searches it looks more like he swallowed a small branch than a tree sprouted in his lung, but who knows.
(the guy in the story i linked to above kinda looks like he could be related to Vin in a distant way. am i wrong?)

Ghetto Grannies!

This is HILARIOUS!
Don't give up after three mins, you have to hear the last one, it might be the best one!

Where For Art Thou... Chivalry

Is chivalry dead?
I've asked myself this question many times and I think I've finally found the answer.
Chivalry isn't dead, it is "taken".
I'll explain below.

Today in one of my classes we read a poem about how cute little old men hold their wives purses for them. Then my teacher asked how many guys in our class would hold their wives purse for them. Only three guys raised their hands.
(of the three, two were married)
I walked into a study area today and almost all the chairs were taken, a good looking guy quickly jumped up from his seat and insisted I sit down. Quite chivalrous right? I did what any normal single girl in this situation would do, looked at his wedding ring finger. What adorned that finger? A silver band.
I was sitting on a chair waiting for a class to start and my backpack (resting in my lap) fell. Before I even knew what had happened a guy was out of his chair picking up my backpack. His wedding ring was kinda cool. It was pewter-ish looking and twisty.
I was walking into a building the other day and before I could reach for the door another hand opened the door, it was a guy, this guy had a wedding ring, this guy said, "Ladies first!"

I'm sure my point is obvious.

Chivalry exists but a single girl looking for a chivalrous man is out of luck.
I don't know how many times I've seen a guy let the door close with a girl one step behind him.
I don't know how many times I've seen a guy walk by after a girl had dropped something without stopping to help her.
Countless times I've walked into a standing-room-only room and seen girls stand while guys sat.
I've even had guy friends ask me to pick up their tab at a restaurant.
Not too chivalrous right.

So guys, if you want to find a girl, just show some chivalry.
See if it helps the single situation at all.

In The Nick of Time

First of all, can I say

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!


I'm a huge fan of the earth! I spent the time I could today sitting in a garden marveling at the beauty of the earth! Plus, it was a gorgeous day (for the most part, more details below).

Ok- Now to the reason for the title of my blog.
I walked to class this morning and when I set out it was pretty cold so I was wearing a long sleeved t-shirt. As that class ended it had warmed up quite a bit so with my hour between that class and my next class I decided to go home and change.
On my way home I saw a friend and ended up talking for about a half hour, needless to say, I had to drive back to campus because I wouldn't have time to walk to my next class.
I drove with the windows down and the sunroof open because, like I said above, it was GORGEOUS! I then had a class then another hour break that I spent in the gardens. Then I had another class, in which I looked out the window and noticed the sky getting dark. I was panicking that it was going to start raining and my open sunroof would allow water to get all over my beautiful leather seats.
My class let out 5 minuets late and it hadn't started raining, BUT I had to get to a class that was in the opposite direction of my car.
I hurried to my car, rolled up the windows and got to my class.
As soon as I sat down class started and it started to rain.

Sorry for the needless detail, I'm kind of a needless detail story teller.

Back to school... Back to school

This spring semester started the way any other semester in Rexburg has started.
The bookstore doesn't have the books I need, and Wal-Mart is out of notebooks.

The Bookstore:
This is what must be going through the bookstore peoples mind. "There are 20 seats available in that Russian Culture class, lets order 10 books and see if that'll be enough."
If there are 20 seats available ORDER 20 BOOKS, or better yet, order 25 books! Don't let me get to the bookstore only to find out that the book I need isn't in stock anymore!

Wal-Mart:
Every single semester tons of students make their way to the last surviving, smallest, non-super Wal-Mart in the world. (I have no evidence that it is the smallest wal-mart or the only non-super Wal-Mart) Every single time Wal-Mart runs out of notebooks before the semester even begins. Wouldn't you, as a Wal-Mart person, think, "Hey, every semester we run out of notebooks and never have enough, we should order a lot and set them up in one of those center isle displays so that the students don't have to try and cram into a 5foot wide isle to get their paper." but no, that doesn't happen.

So I guess I'll waste my time blogging becuase the two assignments I was assigned to do involve a book that the bookstore ran out of.

Swing Low...

Don't you hate it when you get songs stuck in your head?

I often have a song in my head and it is usually a song, or a jingle from TV that I hate!

Well yesterday I had "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" stuck in my head. Why? I don't know. It isn't a song I hate but there was absolutely no reason for it to be stuck in my head.

Imossible Sunset!

The other day I was driving home from wal-mart and I saw the most beautiful sunset! I (per my photography teachers request) had my camera with me and decided I was going to go take some pictures. It was IMPOSSIBLE to get a good one! I felt like I couldn't get close enough. I started by K-Mart (those of you who know Rexburg) and ended up by the crack past beaver dick and STILL couldn't get a good one.
Whatever....
Here is what I did get.

I've heard people say, "The sun sets so beautifully in Nauvoo..." but I think the sun sets just as beautifully here.
