Future add ons

- deep breathing exercises
- fewer pre-made foods
- muscle relaxation or yoga

For optimum benefits, I should be doing the exercise, deep breathing, and muscle relaxation every day. I don't know if that's a reasonable expectation though. But then again, what's more important than taking care of myself? 
Hmmmm.
 

If I ever end up throwing myself a big party or marry someone with an S last name, I want this cake. In addition to the cheese sculpture, that is.  

Watched the movie "Keeping up with the Steins" yesterday. It's a comedy about a boy having a Bar Mitzvah and the crazy party his parents want to throw him. The part that got me thinking was when he finally talks to the Rabbi and  the Rabbi says that once you have your Bar Mitzvah, it's your duty to "repair the world." Isn't that an interesting concept? Repair the world. What messed up the world? (Not arguing that it is messed up.) It makes me want to be a Jew. I think repairing the world is a fabulously worthy mission.  Not that one would need to be a Jew to do that. But still. It would be nice to have the support of an entire people in that mission. 
Also, how sad is it that I majored in Jews, but I'm just now hearing this concept from a comedy movie?

Watched part of the movie "Hairspray" today. It was kind of sad to me that the neighborhoods that were all happy in, ummm, whatever decade the movie was set in, are now nasty drug and crime ridden neighborhoods. Or at least really poor.

Regarding Germany's win over Turkey, it may have been a blessing in disguise for the Turks in Germany. I was talking with Lisl about it, and I think if Turkey would have won, a number of Turks in Germany would have been seriously hurt or even killed in rioting. 

Fort G is having a "soldier show" tonight and tomorrow. I was so amused. I imagined it like a fashion show where different soldiers parade themselves across the stage and show off their muscles and stuff. I'm pretty sure that's not what it actually is though. Not that I know what it actually is. Some sort of variety show perhaps? There are two large trucks with "Army Entertainment" written on them parked in front of the building. I could see this being a nice morale booster in Iraq, but in Georgia? Please. I guess it's a nice free date, maybe? I wonder if there was free child care? 

I was looking at Jenny's booklet on free flights today and it *almost* made me want to join the military. Or better yet, marry someone in it. Then you get the benefits without having to have idiots scream at you. *sigh* I wonder if the new GI bill benefits can be passed on to family members? That would be SO worth it!!

Oh, and one more thing: At dinner tonight the cash register guy asked me if I was in AIT (Army's "Advanced Individual Training" where they go after bootcamp (although bootcamp is called something else in the army. I said "bootcamp" to some Army people the other day and they got really confused.)) anyway, this guy asks me if i'm in AIT and I want to be like, "Do I look 19?" 

Also, also, I found the cutest cookie cutter neighborhood today! It's called Magnolia Glen. Of course the houses are way close together like in any new development, but they're SO CUTE! If I had to live in a cookie cutter neighborhood, I would choose this one.

Also, also, also, Mini Me's name is Vern Troyer?!?!!? Is he formerly Amish???????????

Here's the random future thought  I had today: Study Yiddish and Pennsylvania Dutch. Actual purpose and usefulness of this to be determined.

I'm currently watching this Lifetime movie "Aurora Borealis." It's about a girl and guy getting together, of course. And they're my age. In Minneapolis. And they take care of grandparents. It's going to make my heart hurt, I know it. And it's on til 11, so I'll be sleepy tomorrow. Awesome.

The third thing. I don't know if I can talk about the third thing. I just want to put it out of my mind. So basically, I found this guy on Craig's List, emailed with him a little and then we went to this cafe on Sunday. I felt pretty "meh" about the whole thing. Laura told me I should go for practice. So we were there and talked and stuff for 2 and a half hours. It was fine and not boring and I didn't wish I were at home. But I wasn't like "Yay, we must do this again." So then today I get this whole gushy email from the guy. Technically it was very flattering, but I just want to crawl into a hole. This is yet another reason I don't date. I hate rejecting people!

I need to go now.

1, The NCAA trophies look the same for DI as for DIII. That is so awesome! I am so happy that they're equal opportunity like that.

2, In preparation for my tooth extraction, I bought apple sauce, baby food, and Kosher for Passover noodle pudding. Mmmm.

3, There is a wedding dress hanging in my spare room. Ahhhhh

4, For Easter I will be working through four chapters of "Behavioral Statistics in Action". Oh yeah.

5, Potential... Hmm...
