Summarize

Some people continue to refuse to watch the Star Wars movies.

Their loss, our gain.

Send Christmas Cards

ooh I'm going to try and send Christmas cards this year (shut up, I realize I'm way behind on this.) so maybe we'll call them Happy New Year's cards. Anyway, I need the following people's addresses:

Amy Van Gorp
Jenna Aker
Bill Flinn
Cate Spencer-Motyko

I've got your address Jess and Kinsey. I think that covers anyone who may be reading this these days :D

Sing Along

At some point in my childhood I was told to never comment on the people who can't sing well in church. And I totally agree. Just because someone doesn't have a great voice doesn't mean that they can't sing out with the crowd.

now that being said... meet Henrietta and Merna:



4 Questions
a) Is that a mullet?
b) What in the world is the girl on the right staring at off stage?
c) Is she even singing? It doesn't look like her lips are in sync with the song.
d) Is that a gospel choir in the background? Why can't this video be about them singing?

Merry Christmas everyone! You'll probably see a couple more posts from me today, mostly YouTube videos.

Donate

Hi Everyone. It's that time of year again... time to shop for Christmas presents!

If you're like me, you'll probably be using the internet to do a bit of shopping for your friends and family; I do a lot of my shopping on Amazon. I know you all probably have chosen charities you like to give to on your own, but I wanted to let you know about an awesome opportunity that you may not be aware of: Child's Play Charity. (About Child's Play)

Child's Play works with children's hospital all over the country as well as in Canada, Australia, Egypt, New Zealand and the UK. The partner hospitals set up wish lists on amazon and donations are tracked much the same way a gift registry does.

I know I'll be making donations to both the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and the University of Iowa.

No pressure though, I just wanted to get the word out there for this awesome charity.

laugh

Still not going to make time to actually blog... but here's something I found absolutely hilarious:

So most of the cast of The Office has myspace pages and "Pam" and "Angela" often have funny blog posts. This is one made me laugh so hard I almost fell off the couch.

Butter?

Keep with the common theme

This is too awesome not to post. Especially because it's nerdy in so many different ways.



PS Go Vote!

I swear I do more with my free time than find ridiculous videos on YouTube, but I'm going to post this anyway.

Move with stealth

Just in case you haven't been paying much attention to the interweb lately and have managed to miss this video...

Race

Next time I complain about working too hard, remind me of this...






We got finished early (8:15ish) so I stopped to make breakfast burritos and Nick and Adam went outside to solve a mystery. Do both handicap motor carts go the same speed? Will being heavier cause your motor cart to go slower?

Eat

What is it about food?

As someone who works in a grocery store and therefore thinks about food in some manner for the better part of her week I've come to an odd realization.

Food > Money

a) We bet "lunches" at work far more regularly than cash
b) My friend Chris recently needed help working on his car and how did he pay Mike for his time? Dinner at Sonic. (This is reasonably fancy for Mike. He no longer needs to order at the Bojangles drive-thru, they recognize his truck as soon as it pulls into the lot)
c) If I put up a billboard saying "Free $5 bills to everyone who stops by the store" I bet I'd get far fewer visitors than if I put up a sign saying "Free Sandwiches", which realistically would cost me less than $5 a piece.

I don't really know why this is, or even what it means. I just know that I don't blog often enough and thought I should share my random realization. Let's be honest, you all miss my randomness :D
