Thursday Tidbits

I am reading from a biochemistry text book back to 1992.  I think it's time to update the lab text books.

Speaking of being old...Yesterday, one of my students mentioned that it was his birthday.  I asked him old he was now, and when he responded 19, It was like someone slapped me with the 'old stick'.  I was under the delusion that I was roughly the same age as my students.  I keep getting older and they stay the same...  

I crack myself up.  Today one of my good friends mentioned to me that she went on a very grown up date last weekend.  My response was, "did you guys balance your checking accounts?"
Haha!  The really funny part is that we still don't technically balance our checking account; we just swipe the debit card and hope for the best.

Is it weird that I like to use way too much peppermint chapstick before drinking my coffee?  I kind of love peppermint flavored coffee, but I don't want the extra empty calories from peppermint syrup.  So I just opt for the Chapstick method and end up with over moisturized lips and peppermint flavored coffee.

Ever since Mike and I dressed up like Candy Corn for halloween and we were able to get away with wearing sweatpants to the bar, I have been trying to wear sweat pants to everything.  I'm thinking of wearing a red shirt and green sweat pants to the Chemistry department formal Christmas dinner.  I would be festively dressed as Christmas Candy Corn.

Speaking of the formal Christmas dinner, ugh...I have to wearing a wretched dress.  If there is one thing that I hate more than wearing a dress it is shopping for said dress.  Barf.  No wait...I hate swimming suit shopping more.

Mike and I have been going through adventure withdrawals.  We have been too busy working on house projects during the weekends to get out and be hardcore.  Hopefully we can change that this weekend!  We are headed to Leavenworth Friday night and are dreaming of getting lost in some mountain backwoods.  I will keep you posted!
