Shhhh....It's a Surprise!

I am posting this from B-town, I am on spring break (woo-hoo finals are done!) and have managed to get my call-ins at work covered so that I can relax at home. You know, the original home. I say it's a surprise because Dad is still on his man-cation with Mike to Arizona to watch baseball spring training and doesn't know that I'm here. In fact, he thinks that I am stuck in B-field my whole spring break. Muhahahaha... So tonight when he gets home from the man-cation I will be here. That's what he gets for surprising me a month ago. I have to stay ahead in this game, it's fun and if I turn it into a competition then that may mean more surprise visits. See how this is win-win?

Where's Your Green?

Hi all, I know I've been rather absent recently but this is finals week. Just wanted to wish you a happy St. Patty's Day and show off my green. Can you tell it was an afterthought? Are you wearing green? Or orange?

T Time

So apparently the Google game was correct, I do need your help. I have a special discount code to get a spiffy t-shirt from one of my favorite websites for only $5 but cannot decide which one I want to get. So I am asking you for your opinion; just post your pick in the comments section.

The Arrival of Dad...Part Deux

Previously on "Adventures" of This College Girl... I was regaining my composure after Dad surprised me by showing up to visit a day early. After I got over the initial shock and we unloaded Dad's truck (thanks again for the chicken!) I informed Dad that I needed to be fed. After all, he told me not to eat dinner yet! In the spirit of trying new things we went to BJ's and had pizza.

Friday we woke up early and ever important errands. Such as taking my recycles to campus (that's where the drop off is), buying me a CSUB sweatshirt (how did I go nearly two quarters without one?), and doing the final steps in the great mattress hunt. Checking to see if sale prices had changed and doing the final mini-nap comparisons. Turns out that we bought my new bed at the first place I tried mattresses. It's an Englander and it's really high off the ground, and it's like sleeping on a cloud. I love it! Of course we ended the night by watching the Monk and Psych season finales.

Saturday the bed was delivered and I almost didn't want to do anything but lay on my belly diagonally across it. But Dad was able to get me to leave the house, after feeding me a great grilled cheese sandwich. We then went spelunking and discovered ancient treasures--we'll be famous for years because of this find. We were considering tracking down Bigfoot but decided against it since so many people hassle him. Plus my uncle Kris has already found him, or at least that was the joke. [Ok so I ended up using my Delirious skills for good rather than for evil. That is way more exciting than the fact that we went to the Goodwill store and bought me a corning ware and stopped by FoodsCo for groceries. And you're welcome Dad, I was going to have the abominable snowman kidnap you and feed you yellow sno cones, a la Monsters Inc.] After our many interviews for various media outlets we decided to unwind with a movie marathon. First up was Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy followed by Stagecoach.


Fun fact: I rafted/kayaked down the same river that John Wayne and company crossed in the film!

On that note, stay tuned for the conclusion of this weekend saga. We might just tame the Loch Ness Monster!
Loves.

A Silly Google Game

So I read about this game which is apparently sweeping the internet. I don't know what it's called but here's what you do: go to Google and search "your name needs" (ex "Kimmers needs") and the first ten sites that are listed are what you "need".

Here is what I need according to Google:

1) All five of my riders around me at all times!
Well, maybe I'll allow them to hang outside the door when I'm in the bathroom...

2) A professional profile

3) A `John Miron Day'
Who's John Miron? Is he hot and single? Do I get to keep him?

4) Prayers
Hopefully not any special prayers...unless they are regarding John Miron being hot and single

5) To find old friends from school
Thanks Classmates.com you are everywhere!

6) The Timken Company's information, including email, business address and phone, bio, title, job history, colleagues...
Oh, maybe I'll be doing secret spy work

7) To know exactly how much light will reach the film when taking a picture.
Well that makes sense, nobody likes an underexposed photo

8) Your help!
Hmm... hopefully this doesn't have to do with the prayers

9) Small businesses and entrepreneurs who need guidance
Not sure how I'd help them but hey, I'll give it a shot!

10) To be in the search engine
Um, I think I'm there! :)
