Here's what I do know.

I eat a bag of kettle corn for dinner at least once a week. My mom says she's worried about my diet, and I'm beginning to see why. My food intake today looks like this: rice & beans around 10:30 am, a graham cracker and peanut butter around 2:30 pm, two snack size Hershey bars, and a bag of kettle corn I'm munching on now. There's also a Diet Dr. Pepper in my near future.

I'm not sure how I made it this long without Otis Redding. This is the kind of music I listen to when I study-- much to my class's chagrin when I'm subbing: "Miss Hays, have you got the blues?"-- and every now and then I take a study break just to dance around the living room. It kind of makes me feel like Meredith Grey and Christina Yang.

Speaking of music, Christmas music before Thanksgiving is a MAJOR NO-NO where I'm from. For one, if I start listening to Christmas music too early, I'm completely over it before the glorious holiday even arrives. And secondly, give Thanksgiving some credit, people! Turkey Day is all too often looked over in anticipation of Christmas, and... it just ain't right. Take a moment and be thankful for Thanksgiving. And then, the day afterward, crank up the Christmas tunes and sing in the season to your favorite Christmas album. My personal faves are Mariah Carey and Bing Crosby, but this year I'm open for suggestions.

For one of my last assignments in my Thursday night class-- Principles of School Counseling-- I have to turn in a curriculum vita (it's like a big-girl version of a resume). I haven't started yet, and for good reason: it's just not going to take me that long to type out my half page CV. I mean, really, my professor's CV is 34-pages. I am a nobody with no experience. Ho hum. Maybe I'll list 'blogging' under skills... That's gotta count for something. It makes me media savvy, maybe?

I was going to devote an entire post to the Prince William and Kate engagement, and maybe I still will, but in case I don't get around to it... Congrats, kids. It's a long time coming. Wills, it never would've worked out between us. Frankly, I've been after your brother since my first trip to London the summer after 8th grade. I'll be back in May, so... double date? Better yet, I bet Harry needs a date to the nuptials anyway.
