This is mainly for teachers but still interesting!

And this is why I love kids...

Kids, aged 5 to 10, were asked questions about what they thought of love and marriage. Here's what they said.


"No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so popular." -- Mae, age 9

"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife." -- Tom, age 5

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -- Mike, 10

"[Being] single is better . . . for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no diapers. Of course, if I did get married, I'd figure something out. I'd just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper-changing." -- Kirsten, age 10

"You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, 'cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." -- Jim, age 10

"Never kiss in front of other people. It's a big embarrassing thing if anybody sees you. But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." -- Kally, age 9

"It isn't always how you look. Look at me. I'm handsome like anything, and I haven't got anybody to marry me yet." -- Brian, age 7

"Shake your hips and hope for the best." -- Camille, age 9

"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck!" -- Ricky, age 7

Titles of Love Ballads You Can Sing To Your Loved One:

"'I Love Hamburgers, I Like You!'" -- Eddie, age 6
"'You Are My Darling Even Though You Also Know My Sister.'" -- Larry, age 8
"'I Am In Love With You Most of the Time, But Don't Bother Me When I'm With My Friends.'" -- Bob, age 9
"'How Do I Love Thee When You're Always Picking Your Nose?'" -- Arnold, age 10
"'Honey, I Got Your Curly Hair and Your Nintendo On My Mind.'" -- Sharon, age 9
"'Hey, Baby, I Don't Like Girls, But I'm Willing To Forget You Are One!'" -- Will, age 7

I have...something?

Well as most of you know I've been suffering with throat issues. I keep losing my voice and this morning I woke up and my throat was swollen. I decided to try campus health one more time (third time recently). When I was checking in the nurse said the first time I came in for this was September 2, so this has been going on for a month! They did a rapid strep test and a throat culture and both came back negative. The doctor gave me a Z-Pack but said it might not work because he doesn't think what I have is bacterial. I have to go in tomorrow to get blood work done. UGH!

3 things about today that are good:

1. Payday

2. Home to Gilbert

3. Start of weekend.

You're a girl, you're used to dancing backwards.

Yesterday I woke up and went to Agribusiness. We got to do a group activity which was a nice break from his usual lectures. After class Jeff and I were bored so we went to the bookstore and looked around.

I came home and did homework for a bit before heading to the farm. We are starting to wire engines which is really interesting, but also pretty complicated. I was helping my teacher carry a toolbox and he said, "Your a girl, you're used to dancing backwards." Which I guess is a pretty common statement for who has to walk backwards when carrying something, but I had never heard it and got a bad case of the giggles.

After class I tried to go to this place to pick up the rest of my dad's birthday gift but there were easily 15 cop cars there so I decided to wait on that one.

I came home and did homework and ate dinner with Alicia, Justin, and Bethany.

Afterwards I went to the Aggie football game with basically the whole college. It was a good time and it was nice to get to hang out with everyone.



PS- Yesterday morning one of my best friend's mom was getting into her car and was robbed at gun point, she is fine, but wants everyone to be careful because it happened during daylight at her home in a Gilbert neighborhood. Be careful and aware of your surroundings.

The Whisperer

Well Sunday I woke up feeling alright but still had no voice. I hung out with Bethany and Alicia and worked on homework. Around two I started getting tired so I decided to take a quick nap... I woke four hours later feeling absolutely awful. I took a shower and finished my homework then went right back to bed.

Monday I woke up and went straight to campus health. I was there for two and a half hours and all they could tell me is that I have laryngitis and will just have to wait it out. I came home and slept then went to my farm class. I didn't really want to go but I had a 100 point assignment to do. I came home and did my homework, watched One Tree Hill, then went to bed.

Today I woke up and picked up Tucker and we headed to school. It was only Tucker, Mead, and I in class so we finished early. The rest of the hour Tucker and Mead tried to talk me into saying things like, "You want some candy?" or "Get in my van!" because they thought it would sound funny with my raspy voice. After class I went to work. Peggy treated me to lunch for a late birthday treat then brought in a cake for everyone in the office and they all sung me happy birthday. I worked a little late since I don't have homework tonight and got a lot done. I came home and took a nap and cleaned. Now I'm just kind of lazing around.

A homework assignment I enjoyed:

–John 3:16

Toodles

Yesterday...

Woke up at 5:45 and had to be babysitting by 6:45. I've lost my voice which made babysitting interesting but I had a blast with the little girl (Kaylee). We played vet, did puzzles, ate breakfast, colored, and watched a movie. The little girl is stinking cute and when I left she said, "Toodles!"

I got home and the second I was changed Brad, Ashley, Caroline, and Loren got here. We went to Jimmy John's for lunch then walked the mall. We came back and Conley came over and I opened my presents. Brad gave me a Target giftcard, Ashley got me a board game and pajamas, Caroline also got me a game and a shirt, Loren gave me a bunch of random, fun stuff as well as a Itunes giftcard, and Conley gave me the 5th season of One Tree Hill. After I opened my gifts we played the game Caroline gave me, Apples to Apples.

Next we headed to Denny's for dinner. At dinner it was Brad, Ashley, Caroline, Loren, Conley, Grant, Sean, Tucker, Rico, Justin, Catherine, Bethany, and Alicia. I was worried that there would be some cliques but everyone mingled really well.

A few of us came back to the house and just kinda hung out and played the game Ashley gave me. Overall I had a really good birthday... maybe next year I'll have a voice.
