Eggs...

Kent and I discovered, early on Easter morning, that Zachary does not have an Easter Bunny. They have Easter Squirels. We saw so many squirels in the road in my parents' neighborhood. They had to have been delivering eggs or else why would they all be out there?

Speaking of eggs, I gave my Oma an "Eggstractor" for her birthday. Some of you may have seen this on TV. It looks sort of like an accordian and it peels your eggs for you. It shoots them out of a hole at the bottom. Pretty neat, but definitely takes some practice to get it right.

I really enjoy "As seen on TV" items in case you all haven't noticed

I'm at the library right now. Kent is at the computer in front of me, so I can just see his back. He's doing some work for a presentation at school tomorrow. I just heard him release a deep sigh, must be difficult. I've also heard him tell two different people "God bless you" when they sneezed, and his cell phone rang.

Not to shift subjects here, but the reason we're here in the library is so Kent can use Powerpoint. We were going to buy it for our computer today, but do you know how much that stinkin' program costs??!! Over $200! That's crazy world! No wonder Bill Gates weaves his socks out of dollar bills. However, we can buy the Student/Teacher edition of Microsoft Office that has Powerpoint, Xcel, Word and Outlook for a little cheaper, so maybe next month. Kent uses it every week for church and school.

Shark Tale

Has anyone seen the migrating sharks off the coast of Floriday? Now that is scary! It's really like the TV movie "Spring Break Shark Attack." Experts say sharks usually don't bother humans...usually. I don't think I'll bank on usually. Last year when we were on vacation Kent, Daniel (my brother) and I were out past the first sandbar in the gulf when we saw a big black shadow hanging around us. I got freaked out and climbed up on my raft. They said "oh Jessica, it's just a big mackrel" I accepted that explanation. Then it came back and was lurking about 3 feet past us so I decided it wasn't worth the risk and headed out of there. The next day, on the front page of the newspaper. I see "SHARKS SPOTTED AT BEACH" and the shadow they showed in the water was identical to the one we saw! Yikes. I do like sharks. I think they're really neat. If I ever have enough money and the opportunity I would like to become a certified diver and go down in one of those shark cages. That would be cool...

I can't seem to write a complete thought

I took the day off of work today. It's awesome! Everyone else in my office is working, but not me. YIPEE! So, we went to my parents' house for Easter, but we have to go back early Sunday morning because Kent has to do the music. He really does a great job. :)

Well, we're in Z-town and my sis has a new puppy. She got an American Eskimo. He's already trying to "get to know" my baby dog. I was shocked! I explained to Coca she's much too young for that and she will be getting he operation soon, like within the next month. Poor Cokes....

UPDATE....
The magic bullet rocks! It makes the most wonderful smoothies. And it doesn't leave chunks of ice like a blender would. Plus, what's really cool is that you actually attach the mug you'll drink your smoothie out of to the blade. You blend it in the cup and then when you're done, you screw on this protective lip to cover the "screw on" area. It's great because then I only have one dish to wash. I give this product two thumbs up.

If my ribs were cooked and put on a buffett would I be "All you can eat ribs" for one person? for two people?

A Brief History of Time (well, for the last week anyway)

Today a bird came in my office. I helped it out of the door. It brightened my day seeing that bird up close and personal. Although I was a little worried it would poop on my head.

We have this chair that is really hard to get out of, and if you drop crumbs in it, good luck ever getting them out. The chair shares a motto with a certain famous city..."What happens in that chair, stays in that chair."

Coca has learned to sit! Now we are working on lying down. She's a little confused about that one though. She also knows how to let me know she needs to go outside now. She has one ear that stands up and one floppy ear. It's really really cute! Yesterday she got her final round of puppy shots and can go around other dogs now! YIPPEE! She's very friendly and will be happy about that. Now, if I can only teach her to do the laundry while I'm at work...

One final thought...
I'm really stoked that "Good Day Live" is off the air now.

Did you ever hear this story?

So, Easter is coming up and therefore so is Good Friday. That has reminded me of a story. It happened one year ago on Good Friday...

I was on my way home from work. My boss had let us off early. I was in a great mood. The sun was shining. I had the radio turned up and the windows down. What a great afternoon...or so I thought. I pull into our driveway, as happy as can be, when I see these little brown things all over outside of the living room window. I thought "What the heck is that?" After pulling up closer I realize that they are bees all over the window, and swarming around the electric box right by the window. I thought, "Well, I'll just make a break for it and run in the door." So, I got out of the car and as I'm running toward the door I realized the bees aren't all over the outside of the window...THEY'RE ON THE INSIDE! HUNDREDS OF BEES! I was totally freaked out. I ran back to my car, locked the doors and called the landlord. What is his response? "Oh, well, do you have somewhere you can stay tonight, because I'm not going to be able to get anyone out there. You can probably wait until night time when the bees calm down and go in to get some clothes." No way...not acceptable. I told him to try to get someone. I tried to call Kent, but no answer. Then I thought I better leave because bees can fly through A/C vents... or so I imagined. So, I went over to Kirstin's. Eventually I got in touch with Kent and warned him not to go in the house, but to meet me at Kirstin's. Eventually that evening the exterminator came and my wonderful Kenty met him there. It turns out it was just a random swarm of bees passing through the area that decided to build a hive in our wall. As the exterminator was leaving he said, "You may hear some buzzing for a few days but don't let it bother you, it's just the leftover bees." Yeah, like it's not going to bother me. Anyway, I never thought we'd actually use the mosquito net hanging over our bed to protect us from bugs, but we did.

Oh memories....Kent used to tell me when we were dating "The weirdest stuff happens to you!" Now, it happens to both of us.

Special Man, Loving Wife & Precious Dog

In case you don't know, I'm kind of silly... so, I from time to time call Kent "Special Man" and in his cell phone I'm listed as "Loving Wife"...we're so corny, but at least we know it. Anyway, Coca is now, "Precious Dog." Precious Dog wore a sweater for the first time the other night. WAY TOO CUTE!! I ALMOST COULDN'T HANDLE IT! She would run around and the little hood would fall over her eyes. It was f-f-f-f-funny! Here's a link to her sweater pics RIGHT HERE.

Also, today is my 2nd favorite day of the week. I woke up in an uncharacteristically good mood this morning (due to some thunderous gas). I was actually laughing at 7AM! That NEVER happens. I am the true opposite of a morning person (would that make me a night thing? Is that the opposite?) I'm like a morning monster. Today will be a good day. It's BEEE-AUTIFUL outside! WOO-HOO!

I did not brush my teeth today. It always makes me a little happier when I know I don't have to brush my teeth because I don't have anything important to do. I love those days.

HELP ME...

I need help...our house is never going to get unpacked. I'm just not motivated. It stresses me out to be there. I just go to the one room that's halfway decent and stay there all night. Organizing is not not not not my strong suit, at least not at home anyway. I'm somewhat organized at work because I have to be. There's usually so much going on at once that I'd never get anything done if I wasn't. Anyway...what a mess. The spare bedroom only has about 3 feet of walking area. I just dig things out as I need them.

On another note...March 15th is Kent's and my 3 year anniversary. Guess who still hasn't ordered their wedding pictures! Guess who's pictures are already paid for! Guess who still hasn't legally changed her name! Guess who never ordered a copy of the marriage license! That's right, Procrastinessica - that's me. If I don't have a deadline, I probably won't get it done.

I'm a crazy unorganized and a procrastinator - how I manage to get anything done is beyond me.
