Because I Can

You want to know one of my favorite things about college, but also marriage? Doing whatever the freak I want! It's seriously so awesome.

Guess what I had for dinner? Twizzlers.
Why? Because I can!

I have homework to do. But I'm blogging first.
Why? Because I can!

I don't label any of my food anymore!
Why? Because I can!

Guess what food I buy more than anything else? Pringles!
Why? Because I can!

Why, do you ask, do I have a Periodic table shower curtain?
Because I can!

Why do I get in pajamas as soon as I get home from class? (even if it ends before noon?)
Because I can! (If being in your pj's before 7pm is wrong, then I don't want to be right.)

I love the freedom of running my own home, if you couldn't tell. And I can't wait when I have kids and they say, "Mom why do I have to eat vegetables and go to bed early?" And I can say the phrase that has so many times been said to me, "Because I'm the mom"and that constitutes as a valid enough answer for the first 18 years of their lives.

However. I did get a "because you can't" this week. I went to donate plasma to do a good deed (and get some ca$h) and I waited a whole 2 hours in line and got a finger prick and blood pressured and even urinated in a cup. And guess what? All that hulabaloo for nothing. Once the nurse lady asked me a bajilion questions about if I have traveled to Kenya or Djbouti or done injection drugs or had sex with a gay man before 1977 (what the random?) they asked about past blood disorders and-- BOOM. I was done for. So because I had wimpy blood when I was 12 and got cured and have been fine ever since, I am permanently labeled with sucky blood forever. So that was kind of a waste.

I only have one class tomorrow- HALLELUJAH! 'Cept because I am only taking 12 credits this semester (stupid online class won't add me off the waitlist -__-) I kinda feel like a leech on those tithe-payer's moneys on days like tomorrow :/

Things I learned today:
-There is such thing as a snow day in Rexburg (but it has to be -20 degrees and freeze all the power out of the city.)
-I feel B.A. when I walk around outside and its below 0. But then my ears about fall off and I can't put my hood up cuz it was a good hair-do day.
-Anat and Phys lab isn't as scary as I thought it was at 11:30 last night.
-I love D&C. Like alot. The class, the teacher, and the scrips.
-I suck at journaling. And remembering when to take out my laundry.
-Any day with no tests is a good day. Even if you slip on ice and *almost* fall on your bum. Multiple times. (Slipping is an accomplished art here in the burg. I would hope I would be good at it by now.)
-Ipod headphone wires freeze in funny shapes 3 seconds after going outside.
-It bugs me when people complain about the cold. Yes, its cold, captain obvious. No, nobody likes it. So stahp whining and put on your big girl panties.
-I'm on a massive Mexican food trip. I like burritos. Everyday. No, it hasn't gotten old yet. Maybe never will.
-It's not fun filling out name change forms
-The post man becomes Santa Claus when you are waiting for an online order :D
-My blog posts are so random. whoops.
-I'll try and get better at that.

I might make brownies tomorrow. Cuz I can.

P.S. I love this dapper young fellow. He makes my day.
