Procrastination = Death

You see I wouldn’t be in the mess if it weren’t for procrastination.
Four reports and two presentations are adding to my frustration.
As soon as I turn my reports in and my presentations are done.
Finals are the next week- no time for relaxation.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am almost there.
Only ten weeks of school left, I really need prayer.
I guess grad school is fun, but man, it’s really been a bear,
It’ll be worth it in the end when I’ll have not one diploma but a pair.

I know this poem is corny but I really needed a break
My brain wants to quit but I know I have a lot at stake
I must get back to it, despite my fingers that are starting to ache
If I spend any more time on this it will be a mistake.

Did you know.....

Here are some little known or well known facts about our lives....(I thought I would enlighten you)


Matt and I have been dating/engaged/married for almost EIGHT years (and he still loves me :) ).

We named our dog Rowdy after the dead stuffed dog on the t.v. show Scrubs.

When Matt bench presses his right nipple stands up but not his left.

We have to light candles in our house so people don't think we are pot heads (thanks neighbor).

My right foot is one full shoe size bigger than my left.

Matt can barely handle any sport with a round ball.

Matt reads books like I eat chocolate

I have a drinking problem....of diet coke.


I dominate racquetball and Matt dominates disk golf.

Matt and Rowdy's gas often smell the same. It makes me wonder if Matt is eating Rowdy's food.

Matt says I run like a new born giraffe and I say he runs like a retarded road runner.

Rowdy has to be biting something at times. If he doesn't have anything to chew on, he will chew on him self.

Oddly enough he chases his non-existent tail.

Matt really really loves the Chinese buffet.

We have interchangeable fip-flops.

I work out twice as much as Matt does and HE loses weight twice as fast.

Our one guilty pleasure is high quality toilet paper.

We really want to buy a wii. :)

Most people have a junk drawer....we have a junk closet.

We can't wait to move back to Texas.

Our one constant disagreement is taste in music. I like Christian and Disney and Matt likes everything but that.

We both decided that we like teen books, like to play outside, dislike work, hate homework, love pizza, hate to clean our room, infatuated with theme parks, and can't wait for summer vacation. ......hmmm.....we are in fact 13 years old.

Rowdy really hates bad singing....acually anytime Matt and I sing.

We live for Thursday nights....Scrubs, Office, and My Name is Earl.

We are American Idol nerds. We watch every week, vote, and we make fun of the people that cry when they get kicked off.

I don't know how I ever watched t.v. without a DVR.

I have 10 weeks of school left for the rest of my life...until I start teaching (vicious cycle).

Rowdy is a theif. We found four socks behind our t.v. that he has been hiding.

Matt likes to support breast cancer research to "support second base" (I dont find it amusing)

I absolutely hate for my socks to go inside my shoes.

We are having a contest to see whose car lasts the longest.

When Matt hears a song on the radio he thinks "red, green, yellow, orange" -guitar hero humor

Staying up until 10:30 is a late night for us.

I dont think anyone will actually read all of this nonsense...but I enjoyed a good laugh.
