Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS

  • I am just about ready for tattoo #2,   I have narrowed it down to 2 options and just need to decide which one I want more.

  • One of the presenters at a conference I attended yesterday had tight pants. I could totally see what he was packing and it was so distracting. I couldn't stop looking down.

  • We swore in six new firefighters on Monday. All week they've been traipsing around Village Hall. They're fairly young and I don't find them attractive but I find their barreling around in a big uniformed group like a bunch of puppies fairly adorable.

  • Pack Rat (aka husband) hasn't really helped with the purging that we were supposed to be doing before the move.  So now that means I'm going to have to drag all the shit from the former place to the new one.

    On the other hand, I have a ton of workout DVDs if anyone wants them.

  • I get severe secondhand embarrassment when people sing the Fresh Prince theme song. I don't know why this happens around me semi-frequently, but why are people singing this? It's not amazing that you know the words, everyone knows the words. Stop singing them, please. *shudder*

    I have a related confession. It's so dorky. 

    I know kinda what I want for my second tattoo, but I feel nervous about it so I ordered temporary tattoos of a similar design and have been wearing them for a few weeks to see if I like it. I think I do, but I'm going to give it another week ;)

    Actually, I think that's a really good idea.  Not dorky at all.  Why not try out something temporarily before it becomes permanent?

    I just think that real "tattoo people" would think it was super dorky, but I'm not a tattoo person so I don't care.

    While I think it's kind of hilarious to sing Fresh Prince (among others) when putting Zara to bed because I don't have to think- I just know the words- I get the second-hand-awkward. Watching Amy Poehler sing "Parents Just Don't Understand" on Parks and Recreation one can't help but cringe!

  • I locked myself out of the house this morning. The baby was inside playing on the floor and I was running out to put our bags in the car. H had to turn around from driving to work to come and save us. The baby was screaming when I got in there.

    This is a story all about how
    My life got twist-turned upside down
    And I liked to take a minute and sit right there
    And tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air


    Sorry- But I love the show, the song, and will rock out the rap to impress my kids (well, in my mind at least)

  • I just had a paper that was 5 pages copied from a museum's webpage and 1 page of the student's original thoughts.  Fuck.

    Isn't there a software that tells you if papers are plagiarized?

    Yes. Not sure if the college has it, though.  With these papers it's super easy to tell because they're reviewing museum exhibits.  All I have to do is go to the museum's webpage and boom, there it is. I can also put a phrase in google and it'll direct me right to the specific page they used. They're idiots.
