Handcuffs, Cheese and Cat dumps

OMG friends. I am so embarrassed that I have neglected the blog for so long. My blogging mentor Heather reminded me several weeks ago about the shameful blog status, and I just sat on it like the lazy walrus I am. I don't deserve to be a blogger. My account should have been terminated.

Social Updates: While neglecting school, I checked my Facebook account. There is a new application on Facebook called "Compare People." The pictures of two of your friends pop up before you and then you anonymously compare them. Questions range from, who is the most trustworthy to who would you rather be handcuffed to. Evidently, I'm among the top of my friends list when it comes to "hard worker" and "trustworthy" but only one person wants to be handcuffed to me. I can be fun, promise! I was a little hurt by this. Evidently, I'm not as pretty as the other people on Facebook either. I'll remedy this by wearing less clothing. There appears to be some kind of relationship between popularity and skin exhibitions. Seeing that I haven't had any sun in the last, um 25 years... doubtful. I have subsequently terminated the "Compare" application in an attempt to restore my shattered self esteem. Ha!

School updates: I'm in the final lap. Only one more year to go. So excited. A little tired b/c still working 30 hrs/week. But the job is the best part. Getting the protective orders for our applicants is so rewarding, and talking to the respondents is the most interesting EVER! I feel like I'm part of some massive social science experiment and a wizard is going to appear from a big velvet curtain and say, Just kidding, can't believe you thought that was real! Its unbelievable the things human beings will do to each other. Had an interview w/DA's office btw, and am crossing my fingers for a callback. Talk about a dream job!

Life updates: Recently discovered that I have high cholesterol. Guess its in the jeans. That, and my unhealthy obsession with cheese. Someone should have me institutionalized for my failure to control my mac 'n cheese intake. Clearly, the problem has unloosed itself. Fortunately, the family has put the dairy goodness in a fool proof lock box. Speaking of fam, Joshua just may return to a full-time husband. Looks like his traveling may take a break for a couple of weeks, knock on wood. Kitties are happy. Tried to take them for check-ups recently though, and Shady was so pissed-off that she climbed on top of me in the car and took a massive dump on my beautiful "I'm a badass" suit. (my suits have moods) When I tried to throw the floaters out the car window, it just so happened that the ONLY person in Houston that cares about the environment thought I was littering and proceeds to "digitally" f--- me and honk his horn. It's freak'n biodegradable.

Promise to provide more consistent updates. Sending hugs - ALC
