Wanted to share a quick quote, from my favorite person in the world (the spawn of Satan):
"Unlike you, I don't have the time to do that."
I cant make this stuff up!
I also wanted to make note of a story I just read on CNN about an ape in Iowa. It was in the Offbeat news but this was my favorite part:
Savage-Rumbaugh said she explained the danger of such mischief and Panbanisha promised not to do it again.
Panbanisha is the name of the ape. I know apes are probably the next step down from humans (right before Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes off-spring) but can you imagine telling an ape..."no..no...we dont touch the fire alarms. bad Panbanisha...you are grounded!" Just a thought!

The queen of procrastination
(Editors Note: I finished this over two days and I think I was on a sugar high for the first half. I am over the situation and taking the energy to fix it is not on the agenda today! Happy Friday!)
Working full-time and going to school should never happen at the same time. But in my case, they do happen at the same time and I am learning to deal with that...building another bridge and I am moving on! Since I have been leaving all my school work until the "day of" I have had to become creative in making sure I get the assignment(s) done. Its been somewhat tricky since it is a creative writing class and a lot of stuff requires printing out and so forth ("what, we arent supposed to use the office printer for personal use...my bad!"). Our last assignment was somewhat difficult. We had to read an essay...I know, I have it really bad. The hard part was the fact that the essay was a-billion pages (okay 30) and I shutter whenever I am forced to read instead of by choice. If the assignment was to pick any Harry Potter book and read it. I would have that done in like no time!
To get back to my point...I didnt get my reading done on schedule as I had planned. I thought I could finish it over lunch but my brother dropped by and I guess I just had to take him out to lunch. I was then left with about an hour after work. I wouldnt normally care but there was a hint that he might have a quiz and we were supposed to REALLY read the essay and understand every word. I even bought a small dictionary so I could look up the words. Well I thought I would run through the Jimmy Johns drive-through and grab some dinner and I would have time to read while I was in line because the Omaha location takes FOREVER. So there I was reading and I came across some words I didnt know so I pulled out my dictionary and slowly pulled up to the window. The employee didnt come to the window right away so I continued to read and I guess I didnt hear him open the window because the next thing I hear is:
"Reading a Webster, huh?" He totally caught me looking at the dictionary and totally thought I was reading it. I couldnt stop laughing.

Cant....handle...anymore...news!!
I can't believe the amount of 'breaking news' that has been taking place over the past couple days. Here is my breakdown:
1. Pete Rickets did not win.
2. Pete Rickets did not win. (okay I will stop..it just feels so good to say that!)
3. The election results were better than I excepted. I am glad that a fresh set of faces is making its way to Washington and maybe some positive changes will start to happen. I think how the election results are coming out, one can tell that a vast majority of people are not happy! I don't want to get too political but I think its going to be interesting to watch the upcoming months.
4. Rumsfeld stepping down today was a shock! I don't think we have seen the last of those kind of changes!
5. Something not political: BRITNEY is filed for divorce. Im sure everyone saw that coming up with everything else that has been going on...I haven't been keeping up my celebrity gossip.
Not much else to report ( I don't think I can top number #5!). Work has been uber crazy plus school and trying to finish the mess I started in the bathroom at home is enough to drive anyone mad!
