I'm excited because I have a Friday Fragments post planned for this Friday - complete with a handful of pictures!
Until then, I can't think of anything to say other than I saw The Hangover last weekend and it was beyond hilarious. I laughed through the entire movie. The creators are genius. Seriously, watch it and you'll be thinking, "Who in the world comes up with this stuff?!"
Oh, and if you don't follow dooce, stop by her page because baby Marlo was born early Sunday morning and she is super-duper adorable!
I hope you'll stop by on Friday!
Peace and love.

What size do I wear again?
I'm pretty darn sure that women's clothing sizes have been shrinking. I know this for a fact because I have evidence of it in my closet. I have a suit jacket in my closet that I bought in 2001 when I interviewed for my first "corporate" job. The tag says that it's size 10, and it still fit last year. I have since gained a little weight (which is going away thanks to Weight Watchers), and it is too tight to button. It doesn't look horrible... I can still put it on; I just can't button it, but as it's from 2001, it's a little out of style, so I went in search of something more stylish and something that fits better. I found a suit jacket at JC Penney that I purchased. It's size 18. Are you kidding me?! According to my experience and the two jackets in my closet, today's size 18 is the approximate equivalent of a 2001 size 12.
I find this really, really bizarre considering that every other day there are stories on the news of the obesity epidemic. So people are getting bigger, but everything else is shrinking... clothes, airplane seats, (and I had other things in mind, but now I'm having a brain freeze). I just went to Lane Bryant to purchase some slacks there. I wear a 14, which is the smallest size they carry. They have since changed their sizing, so I wear a size 1 there! So in my closet I have a size 18 jacket and size 1 pants. Go figure.
Peace and love.

A hot topic
I've seen this one before, and I just felt like posting it here.
Gay Marriage
1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.
3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.
10. Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.

I think I'm in LOVE (but not really)
I just found a profile on match.com that made me smile so good. Who knows if all the items on his list are original, but I love it! I imagine some are original because I think he mentions at least two and three times that he has a career. LOL. Anyway... I hope it makes you smile. (Although... I'm not quite sure what girl would want to date him because of #65...)
"I am very mature and goal oriented. I want someone that uses personification, metaphors and similes on a regular basis! Here are is my 95 reasons why you should date me: 1. I go to the gym 2.

DONE!
I just got my fourth exam score and I am DONE!!!
I do still need to take an ethics exam, but that has no bearing on these last 4 exams. I can fail the ethics exam, and I will not lose the others.
I AM DONE!!!
