New mommy *finally* getting to that stage in pregnancy where I don't have to explain that I haven't just "let myself go," making good use of her intellect, sense of humor, and creativity. Look out world, here I come!

Toys R Us Kid: Educational: With Pictures!

Ok, well, since blogger is being a little retarded right now, not with pictures. But hopefully with some cool links. And my profile picture is new! Check that out! ^^^^

Well, it's Tuesday, which means with my newly altered schedule that today is my class day. It's nice to take care of all your school obligations on one day, but on the flip side, it's kind of obnoxious to be in class for an indefinite period of time, have a 2 1/2 hour break where you have to stay on campus, and then come back to school for a 3-or-more hour long class. Oh, and the vending machine is broken. I've decided that I'm going to start using my break period to do the reading for my class that I haven't done previously because I was too busy doing my other work for the class. Funny how that works out.

The best part of the day, though: it's WARM outside. The snow is almost completely melted up at school, as is the lake, and I can freely wear flipflops without fearing for the lives of my writtle toes.

In other news, I've applied for a youth ministry position at Old St. Pat's, and I should be hearing back from them by the end of this week, so say some prayers. Otherwise, Justin and I just might move to Hollywood to pursue our careers and ultimately become a couple of those crazy California-types. You know what I mean.

And last but not least, I'm getting back into the habit of Word of the Day. Although I do get depressed when I realize that I already know the words from the last several days:

coterminous \koh-TUR-muh-nuhs\, adjective:
1. Having the same or coincident boundaries.
2. Having the same scope, range of meaning, duration.

effete \eh-FEET; ih-\, adjective:
1. No longer capable of producing young; infertile; barren; sterile.
2. Exhausted of energy; incapable of efficient action; worn out.
3. Marked by self-indulgence or decadence; degenerate.
4. Overrefined; effeminate.

nonplus \non-PLUHS\, transitive verb:To cause to be at a loss as to what to think, say, or do; to confound; to perplex; to bewilder.

trepidation \trep-uh-DAY-shuhn\, noun:1. [Archaic] An involuntary trembling; quaking; quivering.2. A state of dread or alarm; nervous agitation; apprehension; fright.

cogitate \KOJ-uh-tayt\, intransitive verb:1. To think deeply or intently; to ponder; to meditate.2. To think about; to ponder on; to meditate upon; to plan or plot.

That's all for now!
