Hump day. How appropriate?

I wonder if they have ever done a study to see if more babies are conceived on Wednesdays, or if the nickname is inappropriate and better suited for another day. I feel bad for some of the days of the week. Not all have nicknames. Margarita Monday, Hump day for Wednesday, Thirsty Thursdays, TGIF (not really a nickname but at least an acknowledgement). Saturday and Sunday are the weekend so they don't even need nicknames, because they are already so awesome. Poor Tuesday. I'm going to make up a nickname for Tuesday. "Sucks so bad they should have just named it Monday Part Deux". I know, kinda long right? But that's how I feel most Tuesdays so that's what I'm picking.

Snapple fact of the day.
#804. "There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar."

Who set down and figured this out? Probably some nerdy mathematician (I'm allowed to call them nerds because I have a math minor, which makes me part nerd). Maybe it was Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, because that totally seems like something he would do. As soon as I read this fact, I really wanted to sit down with a big bowl of change and find all the possible ways. But I'm at work so I would probably get in trouble. So no fact checking for me. But, my real question is why this fact is #804? It would be better if it was #293. My OCD brain likes when the universe lines up like that. Who knows, maybe if it lined up like that the planets would shake out of orbit or something and then we'd all be in trouble. Someone looks up and is like, "look at the shooting star" when it's really just Neptune flying by playing tag with one of Jupiter's moons. Then Pluto comes by crying and trying to catch up to play but the other planets just pick on it since it's 'not a planet anymore'.

So, I used to play this fun game with my best friends in middle school/high school. We would take the two most random things and try to connect them someway. It was like a strange version of Eight Degrees of Kevin Bacon but with everyday stuff and not just actors. You guys should come up with some random stuff and in my next blog we could connect them. (a.k.a. I'm really bored at work and want your help to entertain myself)

What's a fire and why does it burn!!??! Sorry. Rocking out to Little Mermaid tunes. And my IPod has decided that I need to listen to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" every day. And I only have it on there from my future sister-in-laws baby shower. But everyday I have to skip past it. Or let it play and get bored half-way through and skip. Not that I don't like the song, I just get bored really easily. I even skip half-way through on songs that I really like. I just can't get too bored because I would get tired and then I'd fall asleep and then I'd get fired. Then I couldn't buy more Snapple and then no more fun facts. Side note: my stash of Snapple is nearing its end. If anyone knows where Snapple is sold (besides Meijer's-the only dealers I've found so far) please let me know! I wanna expand my Snapple flavor horizon and have tried all of Meijer's flavors.

Recap (so you're ready when the test comes around):
-Tuesday now = sucks so bad they should have just named it Monday part deux.
-#804=293 ways to make change for $1.
-Singer of Tiny Dance=Elton John
-Pluto gets made fun of by the other planets since it's not a planet anymore.
-I'm almost outta Snapple.
-As far as I know, Meijer is running a monopoly on Snapple.
-I labeled this post pirates, when I don't even talk about pirates in it.

And I wanna give a shout-out to an awesome website - www.gilbertsclass.com. This is a guy from my church and the website is super cool. Feel free to spell check his syllabi, etc. because he is an English teacher and it's fun to correct teachers.

Side note: I just sat here for five minutes staring out where I'd typed Meier's trying to figure out why it didn't look right (it's supposed to be Meijer's). Who puts a silent J in there. That j is completely superfluous. When I have kids I'm going to put a bunch of silent letters in their names just to be cruel (because that's why you have kids - to screw with them just like our parents did to us; my husband still high steps through crowds because he was tripped so much as a little kid). Or I'm going to name them Brock Lee (go ahead, say it to urself, now a little faster, now a little faster. Get it?). What if it's a girl you ask? Calli Flower. hahaha. I'm going to make a great parent one day.
