Did you know...

Banging your head against a wall can burn up to 150 calories per hour.
Personally, I am glad that I didn't have to be the one to test that theory!

Gas Prices

I had to put this picture here for all to see. My friend Ali forwarded it to me and I feel that it captures the true essence of gas prices today.
I filled my car up the other day and dreamed of the days when it was 1.39 a gallon! I used to complain about prices that high, but now I can only dream of them...

The Smell of Rain

I LOVE rain! More specifically the smell of rain, when I walk outside and it surrounds me. What happy times. I also love thunder and lightening. There was thunder and lightening when I left class this morning and you would have thought I won the lottery or something... but no I am just 5 still and love storms!

There is a person...

There is a person who inspires me,

Who points out my faults,

Without words,

Who pushes me to be better,

Without trying,

Who makes me feel invisible,

Without ignoring me.

The more I learn,

The more I like,

The more I learn,

The less worthy I feel,

The more I learn,

The farther behind I am,

The farther behind I find myself,

The more I want to catch up,

That person,

That is the person who inspires me,

To be more than I am, yet still myself.

A riddle for you:
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?

Summer classes

Today I began my summer of research methods courses. Seven credits in just research methods between my sociology class and my psychology class. I think it may just turn out to be fun.

I would like to leave you wih this thought:

"People can live 100 years with out really living for a minute"
