Not Florida Bound for Spring Break

Today marks the first day of Spring Break for all students attending Winona State University. Most students are in the air flying south to warm and sunny Florida. I, on the other hand, am sitting in my bed watching Couples Retreat and preparing for a day filled with laundry.

Let the record show that I have never been on a "real" Spring Break. Which means, I have never flown down to Florida to spend a week with thousands of other college students drinking each day as if it were their last - for some it might be. Drink responsibly people, haven't you seen the Heineken commercials?

In my opinion, Spring Breaking in Florida on a beach and drinking all day does not sound like fun. There is always the inevitable hangover moment the next day, and headaches aren't my friend. Some people think that if they just keep drinking that they will avoid the hangover. I don't know if this is true. I don't want to try it though.

So what am I going to do with my week long break from school? Well, I'm going to visit my friend Andrea in River Falls, go to TI, lounge around my apartment in my pjs all day, work, and go home to visit my parents. I'm looking forward to it. I could really use a break right now, and this week couldn't have come at a better time.

For all of you going to Florida - drink plenty of water, kiss only the people that you know (my nutrition teacher tells us this every Thursday after class), watch your drink, and wear sunscreen. Don't forget to wear SUNSCREEN, or else you will come back looking like a lobster and I will make fun of you.

Happy Spring Break everyone!

Oh, and Happy Birthday to my sister! Enjoy your day with the family, Kyrstin!!!! She has her own blog too where she features the crafts she does with her kids: See What We Did Today

The Password Is...

I don't require my followers to enter a password every time they leave a comment. That doesn't mean it irritates me when I have to enter a password on other blogs - I don't mind it at all. In fact, I enjoy typing in the nonsense words in order to let my comment show up.

To make typing passwords more fun, I think of definitions for the incredibly abstract words. For example...

Ruccoli: The first name given to the vegetable broccoli. The name didn't stick, because "rucc" (pronounced like "rook") sounds like puke, as if the taste wasn't enough.

Coino: What American tourists visiting in Mexico say when wanting change for their money. "Coin-o please. Do I get a coino back??"

Lizes: The plural form of Liza. When too many Liza Minnelli's are in a room, one might say, "Gawd, I love seeing all the Lizes together again!"

Sewatedu: Like my sister's blog, "See What We Did Today" (check her out) - sewatedu is what's formed when "See what to do" is said too quickly.

Wamicarc: On the popular game show "Press Your Luck," contestants would often shout, "NO WHAMMIES!" When they did land on a whammy, they would grumble "Wamicarc!"

Suahos: A Native American term for a slutty girls.

There you have it - my definitions for all the ridiculous words I have to enter in order to comment on a blog post. Again, I'm not complaining...it's given me something to blog about.
