day 17

So today is day 17 of the no smoking thing, and it is working okay I guess. I still get a headache now and again, and I still have cravings. I really wish that it was not bad for you.

<-- how I feel most mornings.

My work is sending me to a two day seminar on Microsoft excel in March, and it just so happens to fall on my spring break, so I won't even have to miss my classes. :) This is so good, because I use excel every day, but I don't know how to do any of the advanced stuff. I have a LOT of trouble getting the graphs to do what I want them to, and there are so many things that are possible (like best fit lines) that I just don't know how to do. Then there is the whole equation writing thing, you can get this thing to do all kinds of equations and stuff... well, it is just a really powerful tool, and I am going to learn how to harness that power! :) I am such a nerd- I love to learn. I just can't feed my brain fast enough!

Heather on Yogurt - I really don't like yogurt, I don't really like much of anything that has that slimey consistancy... but it is very good for you, especially women. It helps to balance the yeast in your body, so that you don't get yeast infections, and it is low fat. Usually when I try to eat it I gag... Well I have found this stuff called Yoplait Whips that is edible. I don't think it is good, and I still have to wolf it down, in order not to psych myself out about it... but It went down okay. I guess I am just proud of myself for eating it. lol!

Heather on Baby Carrots - emmmmmm good! and they help with that hand to mouth oral fixation thing.

Spanish words for the day: la biblioteca = the library, la silla = the chair, la pizarra = the chalkboard, la puerta = the door and la ventana = the window.

Thought for the day: Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can. ~ John Wesley.

Factoid: Adolf Hitler's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked out of it by her doctor. This may be the only time ever in life that I would have condoned an abortion... but who could have known? Hind sight is 20/20

If you could have one superpower what would it be, only one... and why.

I would pick something to the degree of a photographic memory, or super duper high IQ, so that learning did not take so long, and I could take more in, and spend less time at it. It wasn't till I started this spanish class that I realized that learning is hard, escecially when you are starting at the beginning. I can't wait until I know enough spanish so that I can start a spanish blog. I will try to post in it every day, so as not to lose the language. I am sure that it will sound rediculous.

Love the toon, I feel like that too, I don't like mornings.
I learned excel a few years ago and didn't use it, now I forgot.
That's interesting about Aldolf Hitlers mother ya know, maybe she should have smacked him around the ear a few times as he was growing up the ass. :))
Oh if I could only have one superpower! I would like to have the super IQ too so I could sort out all the mysteries that people are not smart enough to work out hehehe. :D
I love the spanish words, you are gonna teach us all :)
