Mom's Pot Roast

Saturday night mom got a craving for some pot roast. She got the recipe for it out of a book I think Stacy bought for her and it calls for the meat to be marinated in 12 ounces of coca cola, and probably some other stuff. Anyway, so before bed time she decided to get it started so we could plop it in the oven after church and eat it. I documented the preparation because....well...lets just say it involves some unusual methods and it really is a pot roast. See for yourself:

hahaha! Just kidding.

Actually what happened is somehow Christy dropped a towel in the toilet and we had mom fish it out for our amusement. It was "clean" water though so it was ok.

Lazy Tuesday

Today I caught Butters lounging around on the couch. She does this a lot, as she is a dog, but today she gave me a look that made her look like she was drugged.

Her depressed state allowed me to take a picture with her without her wiggling away

I too was drowsy and not terribly happy today. I got up way early to go meet my group at school for a group project. I had to have mom drive me because I left my wallet in a friend's car and can't get it back till friday. So I get there and no one is there. Since my ride just left I figured I'd wait around and do some homework in the meantime. Finally one of them showed up. The other group member who has yet to do any work did not show up and she was the one that insisted we meet in the morning. Arg! I hate group projects!

Textbook Madness

I know everyone complains about having to buy textbooks in college, but this is ridiculous. I think I've usually gotten off fairly easy as far as prices go. $80 give or take is about what I've had to pay for books individually. This week I had to get a math book for a whopping $195 after $15 of taxes. Seems like they'd want to give students a bit of a tax break, but thats another issue. Almost $200 for a dumb ol' math book! And its not like calculus or anything. It's "Math for Liberal Arts" which is basically just "Math for People Who Will Never Need to Use Math."

I got to thinking of all the great stuff that I could have spent that much money on. This is just a short list of some of the better stuff I could think of.

I could have had:

A 22 inch LCD TV

A Zune HD

An iPhone

A 55 Gallon Aquarium

2 Terabytes of hard drive space

A one-way flight to Hawaii

(couldn't afford a ticket back but why would I want to?)

40 Pizzas

Oh, what could have been. Instead I got this:

I guess fun is for the learn-ed. :'(
