Happy fish friday

It's the first Friday of lent and for me that means fish fry season has begun. Here in the Midwest, they pop up like weeds in every church, fire station, and community center at this time of year. Personally, I am not a fan, but my nephew loves them. Just at the mere mention of a fish fry, his face lights up. of course, the down side of this is that he won't stop talking about the fish fry until you take him to one. oh what fun...

my own Friday has been rather uneventful except for the unfortunate turnaround in the temperature. we had 50 degree temps yesterday and today it snowed. Nothing quite like that Indiana weather.

I'm in for a night of watching 'Dead poet society'. Awesome movie if you haven't seen it!

Should've gone

The other night, my roommate and I went to a local library so that I could finish an assignment for class. Now, normal people would probably assume we went to the library for the quiet, academic like atmosphere.

Nay my friend, nay.

My assignment required me to stalk observe parenting in a public place. I chose the library, thinking I'd surely find some 5 year old having a major meltdown in the kid's section.

Well, no such luck. No major breakdowns. No child running around playing 'keep away'. All I found was a boy who kept whacking himself in the head.

It was the library after all. The institution probably responsible for the very first "shush".

I should've gone to Wal-mart.

Happy Love Day!

This has never been one of my favorite holidays, but for some reason this year I was totally drawn in to all of the reds and pinks and hearts!

My nephews and I even made special cookies to mark the occasion.



And if you're feeling a little woozy from a chocolate coma, here's a video by one of my favorite music artists to cheer you up!

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

I hope you don't have paraskevidekatriaphobia aka fear of Friday the 13th.

I'm not superstitious really, but I've been wary of this day ever since I had a really bad experience on Friday the 13th during my summer job.

That being said, I'm super excited that it's Friday! At my school, we have a superhero of sorts of who make Fridays better. He arrives around noon on campus, driving around on his little motorized scooter. His name is Scooter Bob and he is Happy Friday Guy!



So, no matter if you spend today watching Friday the 13th movies, celebrating anti-valentines day. or just kicking up your feet and enjoying the beginning of the weekend, I hope you have a happy Friday!

High five man

school has been keeping me busy this week! oh well, such is the life of a college student.

i think my 8 a.m. class would be a lot easier to show up for if i were greeted on my way to campus like these people were at this ungodly hour..

An ode of detestation

Dear Monday,

I have tried so hard to be one of your adoring fans. You know, the ones who dote on you and tell you how much they love you? They fawn over you like a devoted parent would. Despite my best efforts to jump on the bandwagon, I have only been able to grab hold of the bumper before taking in a mouthful of gravel.

You've never been all that kind to me anyway. In fact, most of the bad things that have happened to me, have happened on a Monday. It seems to me that you have a twisted sense of pleasure.

Well, you got me Monday. I am finally giving up the unrealistic vision I have of you, me, rainbows, and unicorns.

If you need me, I'll be enjoying myself on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Sincerely {not} yours,

Nicole
