I did something very, very bad...I tried to give Bandaid a bath yesterday.  He jumped in the bathtub but as soon as the shampoo was lathered in, he decided baths were no longer for him.

Being the faithful dog he is, he decided to try to speed up the rinsing part.  He used the carpet, the cabinets, the couch and the bed.

The bathroom trashcan no longer has a bottom, I lost 3 very nice towels, and the dog is still dirty.

I honestly hope 2011 is better.  Cause this year has just plain sucked.

Every dime has 118 ridges around its edge.

Mmm...was craving something sweet.

Here's an example of a "PG" image: the links show what can be done to the images in a few mouse clicks.  It's pretty disturbing.  

I recently stumbled on some pretty amusing neologisms:

• Toastaphobia: The fear of sticking a fork in a toaster even when it's unplugged.
• Adam 69: Two police cars, parked next to each other, facing opposite directions, in such a way that the drivers side doors are only inches from each other, allowing the officers to chat with each other while waiting for a traffic violation to happen.
• Sark: The marks left on one's ankle after wearing tube socks all day.
• Pre-autoistic McConsumption: The tendency to start eating your french fries in the car on your way home.
• Idiot Box: The part of the envelope that tells a person where to place the stamp when they can't quite figure it out for themselves.
• Ancinemation: The curious act of waiting in line to see a movie and watching exiting movie goers' reactions to see if they liked the movie or not.
• Downpause: The split second interruption of rain as you drive your car under a bridge.
• Lactomangulation: Manhandling the "open here" spout on a milk carton so badly that one has to resort to using the "illegal" side.
• Televator: The rolling line on a TV when the Horizontal hold isn't adjusted.
• Alcolean: The point just before a drunk person starts to stumble.

so Bandaid's a very active puppy and needs constant mental stimulation or physical activities or he becomes a pica dog...so I found these awesome toys online!!  here are the three I got:

Wow, I finally appreciate all those crazy neighbors who are up at all hours of the day and night.  This happened this morning at my apartment complex...so thankful that I live on the third floor!

So I was just reminded of one of my most amusing exam experiences EVER. For the final exam in my freshman philosophy class we were given 10 essay topics; 3 were to be chosen for the exam. They were REALLY hard questions! We were given an assignment sheet with the prompts and directions, and the professor said that whatever we could fit in the 1" margin and on the back we could have in the exam.

Well gosh darn-it, I fit all 10 five-paragraph essays on that piece of paper! I think I used size 7 font. Anyway, the professor did the whole dramatic "...And....let the exam begin!" bit and I whipped out my sheet. Mr. surfer-dude-hair-and-Bob-Marley-T-shirt sitting next to me almost hit the floor when he saw my paper. I distinctly remember feeling uncomfortable because the 20 of us were sitting very closely together at a round table...odd for an exam. Anyway, I'm pretty sure he spent most of the exam alternating between wiping the drool from his blue book and trying to see what I'd copied onto mine. Luckily I can write about as small as the type font.

I definitely got an A on that exam.

drum roll please....argyle socks for dogs!!!
