The Little Kicks

So I know I have addressed dancing before on my blog (in particular, Elaine dancing), but today is just one of those days. Mainly, the sun is shining, so I see reason to celebrate! Therefore, I will bring to your attention AGAIN the little kicks.

What are the little kicks? you may ask. (This is where you either leave my blog to 'google it', or you stay tuned and keep reading. I advise the latter). Well, the little kicks refer to Seinfeld's 138th episode, to be exact. Elaine is caught dancing at a company party with 'little kicks'. As Jerry describes it: "A fully body dry heave set to music". Now that you have that mental image in your head, please, enjoy your day and throw in some little kicks while you're at it.

For all you FSJers out there: I know it's cold, but just think, you're well on your way back to summer. So excluding the time you spend reading my awesome blog, eating, showering, and sleeping, summer's only like 20 minutes away! Now that's cause to celebrate!

Benefits of being Mennonite

I was bored with homework... and then I noticed my deep freeze, which prompted this blog. I compiled this list with a bit of help from my fellow Mennonites. All of them my relatives.... Kidding!

Ten benefits of being a Mennonite:

1) Lard can be a main ingredient.

2) Our refrigerators are always fulling stocked with Neer Beer.

3) We can buy in bulk without being judged.

4) We are like canoes. We don't tip.

5) We can rock a floor length dress with sneakers.

6) We believe a deep freeze is appropriate for all square footages.

7) 'Sax' is not just an instrument.

8) Our husband's accept our whiskers as part of our natural beauty.

9) Dough is a separate food group.

10) Deodorant is optional.

To end with a bang:
**How do you know Adam was a Mennonite?

Who else could stand beside a naked woman and be tempted by a fruit.

Gingerbread Contest!

So during my stress relief shopping sesh with Sarah yesterday, we decided to explore the GRAND OPENING of Bed, Bath, and Beyond! There we discovered something quite incredible. The clearance aisle. And amidst the clearance aisle, we stumbled upon something even more incredible. Gingerbread House kits, which gave us an idea. An awful idea. It gave us a WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA. To buy them. :) .... and then have a contest.

AND you get to be the judges!!! Please comment at the bottom of the post as to which one is your favourite.

1) The Icicle House- complete with gravel walkway.










  



 2) The Twoonie House- complete with a garage door on the side.











3) The Cranberry House- complete with a professionally shingled roof.

I'm a Ranger in my Spare Time

Hiya, folks! This semester has started off extraordinarily shaky. In fact, I've come to despise the university I attend. It makes me angry. Vengeful, even. So what better way to relieve a bit of this rage than to shoot something, right? You've guessed it! Ryan and I are proud owners of Cabela's Dangerous Hunts for the Wii!

No, we are not going around shooting actual live beings. Silly, you! However, I have new found interest seeing every animal on the TV screen fall over after being shot with imaginary bullets. UNLIMITED imaginary bullets. It's like I'm the A-Team all wrapped into one giant superhero.

Or I'm Walker, Texas Ranger, and nobody gets away with anything because I'll win EVERY draw.

So basically, I just wanted to share with you all my strategy for ridding my mind of rage. I recommend it.

Post It!

So my third last semester is underway. That right. It's officially a countdown!

Anyway, I began my first chapter reading for my Communications in the Workplace course, and I came across a few fun facts that totally blew me away. They also blew my husband away, which means they were pretty incredible. (If you know Ryan and his quiet demeanor, when something catches his eye, IT'S BIG)

Below is a picture taken out of my textbook displaying a wonderful Technology Timeline:

** Please note: 1980: Sticky notes

STICKY NOTES!
Obviously, Sticky notes would fit into the same category as an iPhone and a Blackberry. I can't believe I've misjudged the technological advancement of this adhesive adorned paper pad before! Silly me!

Therefore, I suggest a business proposition:

Dear Staples,

I advise you to implement mobile contracts for all of your Post It notes. 'Sign here' tabs being the lowest contract amount, and the large, lined notes being the iPhone of your adhesive paper aisle. Please execute immediately for maximum profit in this declining economy.

 Sincerely,
A concerned and INFORMED customer


Also, Happy Birthday to my wonderful friend, Miranda :D

...That Depends

Breaking news from the Freezin' Front*! But obviously, I'm going to tell you the entire story first, so you'll have to wait to hear the breaking news. Just FYI.

*play on my maiden name/hometown winter conditions

So today, my mother, my husband, and I were doing a tad of baby shower shopping for the upcoming celebration of my adorable niece, and I happen to come upon a startling fact in the diaper aisle. After perusing rack after rack of Parent's Choice, Huggies, and Pampers diapers, I came to the realization that clothing a human that has no bladder control can become expensive. Like, REALLY expensive. However, I did finally make my selection: size 2 (14-18 lbs) Pampers diapers. (No, my niece has not hit 14 lbs; however, if you're planning on attending that shower, start taking notes) A box of 84 diapers= $23.99...working out to 35 cents a diaper. Which EQUALS INSANITY!

Want to hear an even more INSANE statistic?

A box of 80 Depends adult underwear is $16.00!!...which works out to 20 cents a diaper!

Folks, it is officially cheaper to for adults to pee their pants than babies. I smell a pyramid scheme.
