You know you might be a super dork when

You just finished your Statistics homework and feel giddy because you are sure you got all of the answers right. Meanwhile, this is in a class where the professor has kindly told you that you have by far the least amount of math experience of anyone in the class, and that most likely, you will not get an A in the class. (By the way, he really is a sweet professor, and he truly wasn't being mean to me.) That being said, I don't like being told that I can't do something. Plus, I did get an A on my first test. Granted, an A-, but so what?

So, I'm leaving for class now. Will update you on the homework score. In the meantime, I leave you with this picture.

No, it is not Chef BoyArdee, it is my brother Chris. I have no idea why he is in a commercial kitchen cooking. Besides, don't you have to wear a hairnet when cooking in places like these? I think he should have a hairnet on the tuft of hair that sticks out over his collar.

A personal...

Watermelon? Hmm. I was at our local produce store today, which happens to be run by folks who do not speak English. Sometimes the language barrier is truly highlighted when I read some of the signs they make to advertise their produce. Today, they were selling

"Personal" Watermelons.

That is exactly how the sign looked. So, I am now quite intrigued. What exactly is a "personal" watermelon? Thoughts:

1. It is a watermelon you buy furtively and don't talk about. It's personal, after all.
2. It is a watermelon that can be used when one is experiencing that "not so fresh feeling."
3. It is a shrink in the form of a watermelon. You buy it, bring it home, and talk to it. Everything you tell it is personal. The watermelon helps you look at things from a different perspective and all becomes well with the world. If this is true, I plan on buying one and taking it to my next therapy session.
4. It's MINE. ALL MINE. IT IS PERSONAL.
5. Perhaps the watermelon is personable. It is a friendly sort, one that you couldn't bring yourself to actually cut up and eat.
6. The watermelon functions as a personal assistant so you can live the movie star life you've always wanted to live. It can be your personal shopper, scheduler, your right-hand fruit.

If you have ever bought a "personal" watermelon, please share with us at Debland why. What are we all missing? Is there a greater meaning to life if one procures a "personal" watermelon? If you haven't purchased a "personal" watermelon, I would appreciate your thoughts on what it possibly could mean.

I'm feeling very philosophical today. Also, I could really go for a slice of watermelon.

Update on Kreativ

Thanks to my friend MommyC, we have a really funny picture to look at. MommyC, I like how you think.

Is it just me, or does that guy look like Carson Kressley? Perhaps this was an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy gone bad? Or, maybe it is from his newest show, "How To Look Good Naked".

I'm Kreativ!

That's what Jill Jill Bo Bill thinks! Of course, I did confess to Jill that I had been coveting this award, so perhaps it was a sympathy gift. I have no pride. I'll take it however it comes. (That sentence didn't come out right.)

So, the rules of this award is that I have to list 6 things that make me happy. Hey, maybe I'll bring this list with me to my next therapy session. So, aside from the obvious things that make me happy, like Sean and the kids, I will list 6 unusual things that make me happy. Of course, nothing compares to my family (come on, let's all say "aawwww...") but I'll try.

1. Cafe Lattes. Homemade, Starbucks, you name it.

2. Popping pimples. I know. Weird. It is just so satisfying.

3. The Office. I love that show. So funny.

4. Rollin' with my friends. I am very lucky and honored to have a few awesome people in my life that I really love and trust. These folks actually like me just the way that I am, insanity and all.

5. Blogging. Love blogging - writing, reading, commenting, the whole bit.

6. Satellite Radio. I have it in my car, and it is in a word, awesome. I can't listen to regular radio anymore.

I know, this is a weird list. It is hard to write down a finite list of things that make me happy, because many things make me happy. I do want to remind everyone, I did preface this list with the hubby and kids.

Ok, now I get to pass this along to 6 people!! Again, hard to do.

Congratulations to all of you! Oh, and before I go, I leave you with this picture, because I am immature and I think it is funny:

A new kind of fun at orchestra.

Instead of staying at orchestra for 2 hours, I met my friend Kylee for cocktails and appetizers. I enjoyed an apple-tini,(my first one!) and Kylee refreshed herself with an Amstel light. We had a great time catching up!

I came back to hear the kids play for a bit, and the Maestro seemed quite pleasant and amusing. Did he have a change of heart? No, I think it was the cocktail. Whatever works.

Politics and Candy - just two topics today, well make it three.

This picture needs a caption. Who wants to play? Give it your best shot in the comments section. Here's mine:

"I'm not really a president, but I play one on TV."

Second: Halloween is just around the corner, and I am feeling bold enough to declare that this is in fact the world's most perfect candy bar - why?

• chocolate
• crunchy peanuts
• caramel
• Reese's peanut butter
• salty
• sweet

That's what I've got for today, folks! Happy weekend, and Happy Birthday to Sean today!!! We're celebrating tomorrow, so that tonight more pleasures of the orchestra can be experienced.

A fun time waster, thanks to Kristin.

So, I took this silly but fun quiz today...try it!

Your Karaoke Theme Song is "I'm Too Sexy"

You're a total goof ball and a bit of a nut job. You don't take yourself seriously at all. And while you may not be the greatest singer, you're the first to volunteer for karaoke. You have a wild and unpredictable sense of humor that always gets people cracking up. Irreverent and rebellious, your humor knows no bounds or limits. You enjoy shocking people. You might also sing: "Like a Virgin," "Ice Ice Baby," and "Hey Ya!" Stay away from people who sing: "Sweet Home Alabama"

What's Your Karaoke Theme Song?
