The Best Day of the Week

Goodness gracious, I love Sundays :) Unlike every other day, there are so many wonderful options for Sunday - Sunday Funday, lazy Sundays, productive Sundays... endless opportunities.....

Such as trying tofu at a local vegetarian thai place and some beer....

Hitting the beach at Green Lake with homemade bellinis (made with unfortunately un-ripe peaches) and cards games....

Or partaking in Bulgarian traditions, hanging up martenitsas on the first (or maybe just the prettiest) blooms of Spring.

Coming up this Sunday: Easter Fun! 

I hate blogging

Sooo - My lack of recent posts may have tipped you off, but it's become blatantly clear to me that I HATE BLOGGING. I bought this page for a full year, so I will have it and TRY to keep it updated, but no where near as much as I had hoped. Oh well, I tried. 

Take Me Home Santorum Koran Sluts

How do you know that you a master of trivia? Personally, this realization hit me when our team wrote down Air Bud for 6 out of 8 answers in one round (Sound clips from movies about sports - REALLY?!). Technically speaking, we may not have won in terms of # of points, infact we may have come in dead last, but we definitely won in terms of # budlights drank, # paper balls thrown at people and # of graffiti body parts drawn on the table. And aren't those the true measurment of success?

Team: Holy Koranberries, Score: 62, Ranking: Dead Last.

Team: Oprah's Labia (gee, thanks for making me write labia on my blog), Score: 66, Ranking: Tied for 4th/6

PS. I owe the one answer I knew to the Penn State class "Fiery Furnace". My final project was entitled "Minerals in Cosmetics" and allowed me to contribute the following answer.

Question: Is schist an animal, plant or mineral.

Answer: Mineral, and here's the proof (a quote from said final project, which I conveniently have saved on my computer for times such as these when I need intelligent mineral references):

"The mineral mica is commonly found in make-up. It is used abundantly because it adheres well to the skin and is lustrous, therefore emitting a shimmery appearance that can minimize the appearance of pores.They can be found in igneous, metamorphic and sedentary rocks, and are typically mined from granitic pegmatites or schists."

Yupp - I got an A in that class.

(Oh, did I forget to mention that our professor also died mid-way through the semester .... :/   )

I love you a bushel and a peck

Happy late Valentine's Day! Yesterday surely confirmed my love for this day which is so often scorned by the bitter, too cool and "anti-commercialistic" (to whom I poo-poo your inability to use this day as an excuse to be beamingly happy all day long, no matter how kindergarten-esque it is, and despite relationship status or lack there of.. it's a HOLIDAY people!).

Here's how my Valentine's day was fantastical: Pre-holiday I got to get my arts and crafts on; day of I woke up next to my favorite person, snoring lightly, fast asleep; got to dress up in pink and frills galore; came into work to find valentines on everyone's desk and a not-so-secret chocolate elf delivering minty chocolates (yumm my favorite); listened to a surprise cupid singing telegram at the company meeting; Googled and saw the cutest video ever (below); came home to the most beautiful flowers; cooked filet mignon together (whaattttt, I ate beef!) while chomping on Gouda that had been aged 5 years and had little crystally things in it and sipping some Argentinian Malbec; got to spend lots of time with my love; and ate chocolate cake; AND post-holiday finally checked the mail to find V-day cards from la famiglia (THANKS GUYS!)

Moral of the story: Sorry folks, but I still LOVE Valentine's day and reserve the right to be a corny-corny cornball all day long every year :)
