Steroids

I thought this was pretty funny considering all the hype that was going on this year about steroids and baseball. But now I can't judge because I too am on steroids. Sadly I don't think they're the ones that will make me a super athlete so I can become a bazillionaire. I've had this weird pain in my leg for almost three weeks so I finally went to the doctor. He told me I have a pinched nerve and he put me on steroids to try and fix whatever it is that's causing the problem. I feel that my friends and family should know from the beginning that I am officially on steroids.

How many of me?

So I found this website that tells you how many people in the U.S. have the same name as you. There are fewer than 1,526 people with the first name of Breelyn and 164,827 people with the last name of Harper. Also, for my Hammer readers, there are only 21,367 people out there with the last name of Hammer. As of right now I am the only Breelyn Harper in the country. Don't I feel special!!

Bree's Brain

It finally happened. The Sparkies (Electrical Engineers at Icon) have been so impressed by my mental skills that they have cloned my brain. Ok, so they really just named the new brain board for the consoles after me but still, I thought it was pretty cool. They've been working on the new board on the computer for a few weeks and they finally got a physical sample in and it has my name on it and everything. The picture is kinda blurry because the print is really small and I took the picture with my phone.

They're Everywhere!

Not only are we sleeping in our living room, we also have spiders. Now in case you don't know, I HATE spiders. It's usually ok because I can yell at Nolan and he'll come and kill it for me. Sadly he wasn't home the other morning when I found this little sucker standing between me and my shower. Granted, I could've just skipped the shower, washed my face and thrown on a hat but I'd still have to spend time in the same room as this giant ugly thing. So I grabbed my shoe and tried to get up the courage to take him out on my own. But as I was getting ready to swing I panicked and started to think, what if it moves and I miss and it jumps on my arm? I abandoned the idea of using my shoe and went for one of Nolan's boots. When I finally got up the courage to attack it was no contest between the boot and the spider. After disposing of the body I started to think. Why are they coming after me? I thought Lisa was their target. Then it hit me. They think I'm easier prey! They'll take me out and then when Lisa is incapacitated from grief over losing the greatest sister-in-law ever that's when they'll strike. Look out Lisa!

Oh Obama, How I Love to Loath you.

Someone at work sent me a bunch of political cartoons about Obama but this saying by Lincoln was my favorite part.

Our Apartment is Getting Smaller

Well it's official. Our apartment is shrinking. It started out as a 2 bedroom and it was great because we had a room for storage and an extra bed if anyone wanted to stay with us. Then the mushrooms invaded and that room became unusable. Down to a 1 bedroom apartment. Still pretty nice because everything was still stored in the lost mushroom room so it didn't feel crowded or cluttered at all! Then the mushrooms made a stealthy move and infiltrated our bedroom. Last night we grabbed our mattress and retreated to the living room. Our apartment has offically gone from a 2 bedroom to a studio. Hopefully we can find a house quickly before we kill each other. Who knows, it could be fun, like building a fort out of the furniture in the living room when you were a kid and then "camping out" in it. Definitley more comfortable then any other camping I've done lately.

Finals Week

Hooray! Finals week is over! So, technically I didn't actually have any final exams but I did have 4 assignments do this week and it was the deadline to turn in any late assignments. My problem was that I thought finals week wasn't until next week and I had a few late assignments to finish too. To top it off I was SICK! I got sick the day we came back from Island Park and didn't really make it past the zombie stage until Wednesday so I had to really really scramble to get everything done on time. I ended up working down to the deadline but I got everything handed in on time. To celebrate I bought the new Stephenie Meyer book and read it in a day! It was really good! So now I have 4 weeks until fall semester starts and it's really weird trying to relax because it feels like I should be doing something else.
