i am picking up what you are putting down...battle

i'm picking up what you're putting down
i'm doing your laundry, i'm sweeping your floor
i'm drinking what you're pouring
i'm reading what you're writing
i'm analyzing the data you are collecting
i'm catching what you're throwing
i'm feeding your pets while you're out of town (?)

got anymore?

guy on a ladder

my room has four large windows and i'm home alone right now. on my way in i noticed a ladder proped up against the front of the house. i guessed it probably belonged to bryan who i thought may be taking down our christmas lights because it's april (Christ wasn't really born until april- so bryan thought it appropriate to leave the lights up for a few more months). anyway... I had just sat down to check my email when there arose such a clatter. i looked out my window and saw a strange man on a ladder. i was pretty startled. i almost just pulled the blinds up really fast but instead, i opted for a more incognito peak trough the blinds. i didn't want him to be scared and then fall off like in this infomercial:


i soon realized that he was just taking some measurements-hopefully to replace our super trashy windows and not in preparation for an upcoming break in. yikes.

I thought this was a dream come true, but really it was dream come joke. so go ahead and just put your hopes down.

...you get the idea. anyway. i've been doing my darndest to stay standing lately and it has made a world of difference: i am more helpful ["hey kaity, while you're up, could you...."]. i am a better multitasker [plan clinic AND stand, check email AND stand, eat dinner AND stand]. there are ample opportunities for me to do the twist, or what have you. i have something to blog about.

really good.

amen.

a domestic victory

I'm not completely undomesticated, but with school and everything- mostly i just eat cans of corn and/or green beans... so this was a step up from the norm. i think the presidents would be proud that i spent their whole day in the kitchen. i only wish they could have enjoyed this simple treat with me. no really. if that had happened this blog post would be way more interesting... and more creepy- but mostly interesting.



oat bottoms!

did you know...

...that the netherlands band donald duck because he doesn't wear pants?
...that there are 1,200 people that live in antarctica!



you are looking at the oregon scientific smart globe- the latest in juvenile education. a modern day geo-safari, the smart globe is the answer to all of your problems. no really though, this is the coolest thing. my nephews got one a few months ago and my nieces just got one for christmas... but i don't think anyone has spent more time exploring this amazing world, via smart globe, as i have. here are a few of my favorite features-
the smart pen- touch any where on the globe, listen and learn.
update capabilities- you can plug the smart globe into your computer and download the most recent political, social and geographical changes.
challenges- this is so fun. the smart globe gives you a certain amount of time and some dramatic music as it asks you to locate various countries. until recently my 15 year old nephew held the family record (96 countries found) but after a few weeks of intense training i was able to sneak by with 104 countries. it's a constant battle.
languages, national anthems, interesting facts, history, government... the smart globe knows it all.
thanks smart globe... thmart globe.
