Almost done

It's such a beautiful day outside, and here I am inside contemplating what chore or errand can I come up with to conjure a reason to go outside for a while. Since I don't own a house anymore, I don't have any gardening or mowing to do so I have an excuse, oh well. I have three more tests and this semester is over. I can't believe I've made it this far. This school year has been a challenge to say the least.

I will have four more classes left and assuming all goes well, I will be done in Decemeber. Somehow I wish it could be sooner because what is happening in my other school experience. But I'm choosing not to think on that.

Instead I will focus on the fact that I am half way done in my endeavors to move on in life, and never having to worry about having a job ever again. It will be nice when I get there. I think I might clean my car. It's been since August since the inside has been vaccummed (yes, I know it's sad.) Then I shall study until I can study no more.

More from my cousin

My cousin writes and says he is doing ok. If you are sending care packages he says that the kids like hard candy and pens. Here's a utube showing some pictures that a Marine took in '06. The link has more good pictures, but they are harder to see details.

Colon Cancer

Did you know that colon cancer is the third leading cause of death in men, and the fourth leading cause of death in women? Did you also know you can decrease your risk by following a healthy diet and making sure you are screened when called for? Here's some info about what a good diet entails:

Diet and colon cancer to prevent colon cancer

"People can change their eating habits by reducing fat intake, and increasing fiber (roughage) in their diet. Major sources of fat are meat, eggs, dairy products, salad dressings, and oils used in cooking. Fiber is the insoluble, non- digestible part of plant material present in fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain breads and cereals. It is postulated that high fiber in the diet leads to the creation of bulky stools which can rid the intestines of potential carcinogens. In addition, fiber leads to the more rapid transit of fecal material through the intestine, thus allowing less time for a potential carcinogen to react with the intestinal lining. For additional information, please read the Colon Cancer Prevention article." Other reasons I found that may make a person high risk: colon polyps, ulcerative colitis, and genetics.

Who Knew?

Turns out I went to the same great schools as the emerging actress Jenna Fischer. She is starring in Blades of Glory and is known for her role in The Office. Maybe one day I could be famous :)

Hilarious!

Any of you movie goers out there in need of some serious laughs MUST see Blades of Glory. I haven't laughed that hard since Tommy Boy.

Can't Stand It

This is my rant for the day. This day sucks!
