obsession

I need to say that my new obsession, well, it's actually not "new" but still, I'm addicted, is watching jon and kate plus 8. i know, i know... typical right?  these kids are seriously cute, and i laugh at how stressed the mom gets. the things kids say are just down right funny.  most people say that this show is "birth control" but I don't think so. I mean, I know I'm going to want kids in the future, watching a show isn't going to speed up the process people. ha. 

speaking of speeding up the process, i was in harris teeter tonight, around 6:30pm, and strangely there were about 4 little tables set up all around the store, for wine tasting. perfect time for right out of the office, stressed people to have some wine. well, wine isn't my thing, i just don't enjoy it, but as i'm passing by, an older man is sipping away at his wine, and drops the ugliest/smelliest air bomb i've ever heard. i didnt know whether it was a joke, maybe he made a sound out of his mouth, or if it was real. the woman next to me looked at me, thinking i did it - and i was verbally stunned and was only able to shake my head no to maintain my dignity. some people just don't get that you don't do that kinda blown thing in public. woof. makes me sick! 

and i have a new found love for italian ice. 




i miss europe.

Loves It

to continue my little streak of funny videos on here, I'll give you one of my favorite ones that my friend sent me early last year. Bottom line, the best part about this video is the replays and slow motion. 
Enjoy!

Col-Bear


my sweet Colin, whom I've worked with for about a year and a half, has been having horrible sharp upper stomach pains. It's seriously horrible to watch this poor boy have that pain. It comes and goes, lasts about 30 seconds, and his eyes fill up with tears, he starts to whisper, falls to the ground basically and grabs anything he can hold onto for comfort. His family has taken him to get 2 x-rays, blood work to see if he has Diabetes, all of which have come back, negative. His "attacks" have lessened, but all the doctors say that it's constipation. Sorry, but we all know for a fact, that's not the issue. So, if you could, pray for Colin. My sweet Col-bear needs to be better :)

Butterball

I want to apologize for the lack of updating for awhile. When I first got this blog, I was all about it, and updated pretty often, but I got slack on it, busy with my life, and this poor thing felt the blunt of the hit. I would like to inform you on some choice things that have been going on in my life right now. 

My major is Extension Education - Communication Concentration, which pretty much equals out to Agriculture & Communication put together. Pretty lame? Yeah it is. Nothing is pretty about it, nor do I really have an interest for anything in this field, minus the communication part. I was struggling in school, knew that NC State was the place for me to go, but I didn't have the grades at the time, so I got accepted into a college that would accept me with my grades. Now my grades are a lot higher, but I'm stuck in a major that I'm really far long into. But let's face it: it doesn't matter what your degree is in these days, they just want to see that paper! But to my story...

So, one of the required courses is Poultry Science. Every single bit of this class has been exactly what I was haunting. Learning too much about chicken, that now when I go to Bojangles, I know exactly what I'm eating, how it got processed, the part of the chicken it's from, and much more that I wish to exclude from my memory soon. I won't lie though, it's been somewhat interesting finding out random crap about chickens. Well, a lab is connected with this class - and the first 2 labs included dissecting which disgusted me to no belief. Most of the jigs in that class are rednecks with Carhartt jackets, camo hats and wrangler jeans, and here I am sitting with my fake Coach purse. Can you get this picture yet? 

First haunting was the 2nd lab, when we were going through the digestive system, a guy named Chance (go figure) was sitting across from me, and decided to cut off his chickens toe which obviously has bone in it. He then put force towards his scissors, which made this poor chickens toe fly across the table, and hit me on my shoulder. This made me start to hate this class. 

Second disgust is when my lab professor would demonstrate what we needed to do to the chicken, and cut the thing open, blood was everywhere, and she didnt use gloves OR even take off her wedding rings! She said she has done it so long that she can do it with her eyes closed and doesn't like the "sensation" of the gloves and would rather do it bare handed. I personally think that's some sort of hazard, but whatever.

Finally, our last big field trip (out of 5) was to the Butterball factory in Mount Olive, NC. I've been dreading this field trip because its with 50+ State kids, who are weird and no one  knows eachother, for over 2 hours in a bus there and back. We get there, and have to wear a head to toe white jump-suit, that covered our feet and had a hood. Then we had to wear goggles, ear plugs, hair nets, AND a hard hat. A little obsessive I think. Whatever. They showed us everything in small groups of 6 per group. My lab teach warned me earlier that we would be "dripped" on during our tour, with water/blood depending on where we were. This was my worst nightmare. In any given section of this factory, there'd be 20+ hispanic workers either yanking heads off, skinning, taking gizzards out, cutting off breasts, etc. Chickens hung from hooks on a conveyer belt around the entire place, sort of like this: 



To put it bluntly, I was grossed out to the max, and I'm so glad that this class is finally coming to a close! 

woof.

Nana You Changed!

So if you don't know by now, I love editing and making videos for fun. It's really enjoyable to me, and although they take a long time to do it - they usually end up being something unforgettable. Now that I think about it, it's been almost close to 2 years since this, but Jenn gave me a DVD of her home videos and just playing around I did a little remix to it. 

The first one I did, it's of her talking to her Nana (who's video taping) and how she speaks is priceless, so the first video is titled 'Nana You Changed'


So that video was pretty much the one we all had to laugh on, for quite some time. I got bored one night, and we always laughed at another one of her videos, from Halloween, and Jenn's "bout to freeze" then when her grandmother asks if she wants to go inside, its an immediate change, and again, hilarious. 

"Bout to Freeze" 


these just never get old, know what i'm saying??

Always Sentimental

So, Becca introduced us to this video years ago, but I just came back to it and I just had to share it. This guy with his web cam is just singing "Always Something There To Remind Me" but he thinks its "always sentiment to remind me" You'd think he'd know the words if he was going to sing the song the entire time, but he knows ONLY the chorus.
Enjoy! 


the new 'know what i'm saying' has been translated to "nome sane" from here on out.
