Gyms, Miley, and Meat Markets

Apparently middle aged people really like Miley Cyrus.  I was at the gym today around 9am and Party in the USA came on.  Before this song the radio was pretty quiet, but as soon as that song came on they CRANKED it.  Also, I found out Miley Cyrus is in T9 predictor.  Apparently she’s quite the frequented text message celeb.

Also, after 9am the gym becomes a middle aged meat market.  It’s like going to Save Rite to buy groceries.  Winn Dixie gives all their unwanted products to a second hand grocery store and then people go up and down the aisles looking for the most appealing meat.  It’s like the grocery thrift store.  You should never shop at a store that doesn’t even know how to spell Right correctly.  That should be the tip off right there.  Also, their ads look like they were all taken in 1985.  Like our text books.  How come all the pictures in text books look like my dad did in baby pictures of me?  Don’t they think we’d learn better if we could relate to the time period?  I’ve seen enough giant glasses, knee high socks, and thigh high bright blue bike shorts in my day….

Spelling Bees got stung

Spelling Bees will soon be Text Message Bees.  ”Your word is Discombobulated.  Which keys would you press for Discombobulated?”  Kids now rely on T9 predictor to spell…heck I rely on T9 to spell.  If I don’t know how to spell a word in a message I just hit a bunch of keys that I think may be it until it pops up.

home is where you pay rent

P.s. Teresa (that’s my fiance if you didn’t know) and I just got an apartment!

Don’t freak out, everyone.  We won’t be living there together until after we’re married.  She’ll be moving in very soon, and when we get married I’ll be joining her.  It’s a super cool place.

I’m really really excited.

it’s a new me

So here’s the thing.  I haven’t written in this thing in a long time.  I recently decided I need an outlet to vent and write things that I think are funny.  I may be the only one…

A lot has happened since the last time I wrote in here.

1.  I’m engaged.

2. I’ve shaved at least 4 times

3. I cleaned my room AND washed my sheets

4. I passed all my classes for last semester so I’m closer to getting out of college

5. Grandma died

6. I’ve decided to go grocery shopping a lot more.  It’s worked so far and I’ve been saving money

7. All the other six things happened.

I know it seems like I randomly just said “oh, I got engaged and Grandma died” but in reality, those two things are two of the most important and life changing things to ever happen to me.  There are really only three things in my life that have completely rocked and/or shattered my world.

1.Getting engaged

2. Grandma dying.

3. My sister, Hannah, dying

It’s amazing to think about all that’s happened in my life and over the past three years.  If you had asked me a year ago if I thought I would be engaged by April of 2010 I would have laughed in your face.  It’s been amazing to see God work out details in my life, and important and amazing details that I haven’t expected.  The past three years have been full of tears, laughs, depression, excitement, boredom, stress, anxiety, pleasure, fun, and a whole heap more.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you all an update.  Not all my posts will be this serious.  That’s all

Sky Buys

I was reading Sky Mall a little while ago.  Have you read that thing?  It’s a magazine with a whole bunch of crap that no one will ever need.  It’s the stuff that didn’t make the cut for sensible purchases.  I saw a pair of shoes with lights on the toes, which comes in handy if you’re playing soccer at night.  Apparently people’s purchasing discretion plummets as their altitude increases.  They were selling a Ipod case, which is useful for those of us who own Ipods, but this wasn’t a normal case.  It was hard plastic and sturdy…..and waterproof.   The case was waterproof, the ear phones were waterproof.  It was submersible up to 10 meters.  Submersible?  So, for those of you who want to listen to your favorite music while diving, this is an ideal purchase for you.  Either that or their target market was mermaids…

Stomach problems?

This was in the bathrrom stall at UCF…if someone can start a bathroom stall version of the Sisteen Chapel, they need to watch what they eat.

this is good advice to place above a toilet.  Thank you mysterious Michael Angelo-esque, bathroom man, for your wise words.

clean shaven?

for 206 dollars this thing better suck all the unwanted hair off my body and make it disappear forever.  Norelco, you’re ridiculous.

fat free

Skinny people get jipped. This whole “we have to combat obesity” craze is taking over!  I went to the grocery store today and I wanted yogurt. It was like 10 for 5 bucks or something, which means cheap and fast breakfast option.  Especially if it’s the ones with the granola in the top.  So good. Anyway, I found out that apparently they don’t make real yogurt anymore…all they had was stuff like Fat Free, Low Fat, Half Fat, Almost Fat, Your Boyfriend Thinks You’re Fat, Low Self Esteem yogurt…they need skinny free yougrt or somethin. Just lard and berries. Why don’t they just make a fat free grocery store…the doors will be really narrow so you have to lose weight before you can go in.  It’ll be like a secret club or something.  See how neat that would be?

chew on this

So as I was in the library studying today I noticed something.  People, studying in a library, with paper in front of them, use a desk to put their gum on.  With notebooks full of paper in their backpacks they decide to use the desk.  Way to be, UCF, you’re all champions and scholars.

So this is college

this is the bathroom of UCF…a college campus.  These are adults that go here.  Good thing these reminders are here because if they weren’t where would we be?  We can dress ourselves, brush our own teeth, drive ourselves to school, work, date, marry, make babies, but without these reminders we would be sooo lost and forgetful.  Thank you UCF for helping me.

Do you cover your cough or cover your mouth?  Be careful, cause if you don’t cover it you’ll wind up in a surgical mask.  The picture clearly said so.

I was throwing them on the floor before I saw this.  Good thing I can read.  Shouldn’t the lid be off of the can for the towel to go in?

This is the most important.  I had been wondering why my bathroom at home smelled so horrible.  Turns out, I need one of these signs.

the thing I like about all these is they also teach you how to be polite.  They all use please and thank yous.
