I think that my eulogy will read something like this:

Kathleen was the most happy and cheerful cantankerous bitch that we've ever known.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's thundering outside. It's delicious. I love it.

 Bottled water, canned tuna, snickers bars and batteries. If it weren't the end of the world I'd stock up on Tide. That stuff's expensive.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex said that if it were the end of the world he'd grab canned soup and bottled water. If it weren't he'd go the ice cream aisle and grab all the ice cream. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm ice cream!!!

Speaking of the supermarket I saw something disturbing the other day. I wanted to come home and post, but I'm actually afraid of offending some of the people I really like who are on my friend's list. We all come in different shapes and sizes. We all care in differing degrees about what we eat. I do love and accept my friends for who they are and I know that I am not as health conscious as some of the people who might read this. 

I want to study nutrition to bring some common sense into eating well. I want to help my clients be as healthy as they can be without asking them to give up everything they love. I have a cherry pie sitting in the kitchen. I'm not trying to be judgmental, just to post what I saw and try to explain why it disturbed me.

Last week I went to Walts to buy a few things for Alex and I. I ran in like I usually do, in a hurry and was held up by this woman and her child walking very slowly. She was very overweight and I probably wouldn't have really noticed her except the shirt she was wearing was practically a mid rift. (sp?) I shook my head at her poor fashion taste and watched as she put not one, but two bags of Doritos in her shopping cart. Ten seconds later, just as I was no longer trapped behind her I saw her put a big thing of cookies in her shopping cart. I shook my head at her abysmal choices and went on my way. 

A little bit later while I was debating between skim milk and 2% milk on the other side of the store I saw her and her son again. They were kind of in my way while I was trying to grab yogurt for Alex and I so I waited a moment. I glanced into her cart and I saw, kraft mac n' cheese, other boxed crap, mountain dew, oh yes and diet pepsi. There was nothing green. No frozen veggies, no fresh veggies, just boxed mixed starch and junk food. 

She was letting her son pick out some yogurt, unfortunately it was that twix yogurt which is filled with sugar and doesn't even have live cultures. 

Now I know this is the kind of person who is going to wind up asking for my help in a few years, when the heart disease and diabetes catch up with her. How do I keep my judgment at home, remember that I'm far from perfect, while still explaining the relationship between poor food choices at health? How do I teach what a good food choice is to someone who probably hates everything that's healthy on the planet?

 Nothing. There is nothing that is too serious to joke about. It's all funny on some level... Even my coworker's wife who broke both her feet is worth laughing at. The poor dear.

Today I went to a store today called Game Meats by Czimer . I meant to try a couple of little things. Once I got in there I went absolutely crazy. I bought black bear meat for stew, ostritch burgers, African lion slim jims, a venison roast and boar steaks.

Tonight we tried the ostritch burgers. I don't think I'd eat them every night but I would say that they are better than turkey. I cooked them the way I would normally cook burgers.

 bluehipposoaps is a business run by farawaypoints. I have been buying soap from her for about a year now and I admit that I am using them pretty exclusively. So, if you haven't heard of Leia, or her soaps you should give them a try. They are very, very nice.

Whatever is going around Prairie State is wiping out my professors left and right!

My brother-in-law just called to tell me that  chemistry is cancelled. It's funny because I wanted to get there a little early and get my chemistry brain on.

Instead I think I'll flip between bio and math.

So here's a question for you.

If you were to die today, is there anything in your home that you would be embarrassed for people to find?

I have very little left of a voice at the moment. My throat is extremely sore. I'm still a little chilly. Alex is downstairs lighting a fire. We're having leftover chinese for dinner with some of our Muadite beers. 

Wow! What a game. You know the endzone where our guy kicked the game-winning fieldgoal in overtime? Yeah, that's where we were sitting. It was excellent.

Wow. Just, wow.

Best part? We have tickets for next week.

Well... THAT was stressful! 

...PHEW!

I love Orisinal games. This one is absolutely wonderful.

This is mostly for [Bad username: moonandserpent  but all my bunny lovers will really like this one: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/bells.htm]

I am so busy. I have a million things to do this week.

I need to get my reflection written for communications. I need to get some math done for the review tomorrow. I need to work on my review sheet for comparative religion. Asha just tacked on another assignment for us to do in spanish. Ugh. 

My spanish group and I have a date to finish our skit tomorrow. The biology study group meets tomorrow. Etc.

I have to go to the eye doctor in a few minutes. I need to hit the grocery store.

I wish we could go to Baker's Square tonight for dinner, but Alex has stuff to do tonight.

I wonder if I can ditch the girls from biology....

I have a written spanish final today. I've studied but it never feels like enough. I think my brain is going to melt out the side of my head before today is over.

I need to find a cartoon of the "fat american stereotype" for my persuasive speech.

It needs to be from a foreign newspaper or magazine. It needs to be fairly current.

There will be a prize for the winner. It won't be a very exciting prize, but it will be a prize:)

The winner is defined as:
The cartoon I use:)

Thank you.
