    JuliD! How 'bout them Tigers?? My FB feed was going nuts yesterday with the Prince Fielder news.

    I must be the only one in Michigan that is not a Fielder fan.  I did like his dad though.

    I don't really know about him. Just that there was a lot of excitement yesterday. A couple people posted the McDonald's commercial of him from 1992. He was such a cutie then! Super important in a baseball player, right?

    Mine too!  Exciting times.

    Crazy!!!  My boss came over and told me - Andy and I had discussed Fielder as a possibility, but knew he wanted a long term contract so we weren't sure they'd go for it.  I LOVE that they did and am SO excited for next season.

    I joked that to decide who get's first base duty, Cabrera and Fielder should compete in what would most likely be The World's Slowest 100 Meter Dash.

    Do you mean, on a personal level or professional level?

    I think most fans would say the Tigers just improved their hitting a LOT by signing him.  It's hard to argue that he's not a great addition in that respect.

    As far as personal, he strikes me as arrogant, but I don't know much else about him.  As long as he's not a total d!ck, I don't care if he produces like he did last year.

    Haha! Love it. That would definitely need to be televised. 

  • I visited Biggby at lunch.  I blame MissyNa for that (great) idea.

    Personal.  I think he's a d!ck.  And I have a hard time getting past that and liking him professionally. 

  • SCORE!!!! I picked up Sashimi grade Tuna at Family Fare. This makes DH happy happy.  I really wish I could find it more often and that it didn't cost $12/lbs.
  • I so dislike mortgage companies in regards to my job. Ugh.

    Ooo, sounds juicy - what did he do?  Again, I know nothing about him.

    My cousin is a big knitter, so maybe that's how they know each other.

    Still, while I don't advocate for pushing your kids too crazy, that's setting the bar pretty low.

    Yeah, I should absolutely not be allowed to be a parent. I'm pretty sure L and I would make our hypothetical children completely miserable.  

    But shapes and colors by high school, really?  And I think that preschool stuff can be learned in a completely fun and not pushy kind of way.  As an example from my very limited experience, when my nephew was around 18 months, he loved learning body parts (knees, nose, elbows, etc.).  It was completely a game to him, but he was actually learning stuff.  Days of the week, colors, shapes are all similar in that way I think.

    I have a really stupid question.  I'm sure I'm overthinking this.

    I had my blood drawn around 3:30 yesterday.  They told me to wait 48 hours and then do it again.  Do you think I could go on my lunch tomorrow (would be about 45 hours later) or should I go on Friday morning?

    The u/s tech (the one who issued the lab work order) told me to come in Thursday morning and they would have the results Thursday afternoon.  But Thursday morning is also not 48 hours. 

    Part of me wants to wait to make sure I don't screw up the results, and the other part of me is pretty much dying to know the outcome.  See the dilemma?  Stick out tongue  WWYD?

    I would probably go on Thursday at lunch. And a late lunch if you can do that. You will only be 3ish hours short so if your numbers are a bit short it would be explainable. Waiting for Friday morning would make me nervous that I wouldn't get the results that afternoon and would then have to wait through the weekend. 

    Oh, ew.  That would be pretty awful. 

     

    I would go tomorrow.  45 hours is really close to 48.  And I admit I have no experience with these things.

    Has anyone made chocolate lava cakes? I think I want to try making them for Valentine's day.

    I seem to remember a conversation about someone making them at some point.  Maybe TheWop?

  • My last "final" grades came out today.  No bumps for me.  I have to say that it wasn't totally unexpected.  Also, in discussing with my classmates, we came to the conclusion that if multiple people received the same grade and were on the bump list but the curve would not allow bumping all of them, then whoever scored closest to the next highest grade was more likely to be bumped.  The whole process is pretty confusing and one of my friends says it is arbitrary, which to some degree I think is true.

     In any case, I'm okay.  I just hope that this semester I can level out the low numbers and bring them up by a grade.  It helps that overall I think my professors are better this semester and the courses are in topics that I prefer. 

  • I'm sorry you didn't get a bump. Good news is that it's over, you survived and you did very well (I think). On to the next! You're going to rock this law school thing.
