News and Dogs
Seriously? Have y'all seen this? Ten-Year Old Faces Felony Weapon Charges after bringing a steak knife to school - to cut her steak! Now, granted, it was stupid of the girl/her parents to allow her to bring a knife to school, they could have cut up the steak for her at home before sending it with her to her school, but to press felony weapon charges against her? The teachers/principal even admitted she only used it to cut her steak; she sat away from other students, never pointed it at anyone, etc. She wasn't going to hurt anyone. Now she's suspended and facing felony charges. How ridiculous.
Last night my dog decided he wanted to eat the ant trap we have in our tub (we have ants ONLY in our bathtub) and when I went into the bathroom and saw him I bent down to pick up the chewed up trap from the floor and he ran under me, knocked me off balance, and caused me to fall onto the sharp corner of the counter on my stomach with all of my weight. I hate my dog sometimes. It hurt so bad. It was red and hot and my entire stomach was rock hard for about an hour afterwards. It's okay now, and no bruising, but it hurt like a mofo. Baby is also kicking up a storm so I'm sure he's okay, and I'm sore, but my dog is so stupid.
You know what irritates me? That my dog can be so stupid and so smart at the same time. Case in point; Ryan scratches Nova with his feet while he plays video games - Nova is smart enough to realize that shoes go on your feet, and he gets scratched with Ryan's feet, so if Ryan doesn't want to scratch him anymore and tells him to go away, Nova will go sit in front of Ryan's shoes (that he isn't even wearing!) and try to get scratched by them. See? SMART! Yet I have to yell at him twenty times to get down off of the couch (loveseat, actually) because with my tummy now big there isn't enough room for BOTH of us if I want to lay down. ("Get down. Get Down. Get Down! GET DOWN!" :shove:)

More News Stories..
I just can't believe how stupid, cruel, and amusing some people can be.
First we have the Stupid, meaning the EMT's that incorrectly declared a woman dead at the scene of a car accident, then took 2 hours to get her to a hospital. I know EMTs, and even they remarked on how dumb you have to be to make that mistake.
Then we have the cruel; there's the man who would rather kill his wife and children then go through a divorce and have another person help raise his children, and then we have the modern day slave owners.
And finally there's the amusing - first there's the inmates that covered the escape holes in their cells with bikini pictures, a nice nod to Shawshank Redemption right there, and then we have the man who sold his sons Guitar Hero III when he caught his son smoking pot - he sold it on Ebay and got $9,100.01 for it!
Nothing really going on - I woke up with a headache and I thought they were finally gone. :( It hasn't gone away even with two extra strength tylenol, which is all I can take. That's really it. I need to go shopping for Ryan's birthday present soon, as his birthday is in 5 days, and one of my brothers has a birthday tomorrow. I think this is it for now.

Done!
I am done with school this semester. I have decided to take the C in my business class. I have 766/1000 points right now, which is a high C, and I'm okay with that. I finished my test for Drama (got an 86) and as long as I get a B on my final script I should have an A in that class. Yay.
Okay, here are some random news stories that just make you go 'WTF?':
Coach has sex with 16 year old hockey player.
Um, how stupid are you? You're 35, she's 16, she's jail bait, she's your student, she trusts you, she'll probably break up with you soon anyway since she is 16. Also, do you think her father would not call her friends house where she was 'staying the night', and what if the friend got mad and told where she really was? Plus, giving her gifts? Don't you think her parents will wonder where she got the new iPod and cell phone? You deserve the $30,000 fine (not so much 15 years in jail, as she was old enough to make most decisions and I think the jails are over-crowded as it is, so we should keep space for people like murderers open).
Penn State Students Dress Up As VT Victims.
That is just wrong. It is uncalled for, and is actually pretty disgusting. Innocent people were murdered by a deranged psychopath; those people were brothers and sisters, daughters and sons, fathers and mothers, friends and significant others - how would you feel if someone you knew had been killed that day and you saw someone dressed in what you wore? Shame on you, Penn State girls, you disgust me.
And finally: Guy Finds Condom in Burger.
Ew. Just.. nasty. I honestly almost threw up when I saw that headline. That is so disgusting. I'm guessing one of the workers thought it would be funny to play a trick on someone (stranger or maybe they thought they knew him - either way), lo and behold what happened. So gross. I am so glad I don't eat Burger King.
Quick rant, because what would a post of mine be without one? ;)
I ordered some presents from Victoria's Secret, and they were delivered on time - that part I am fine with. The problem? I didn't know they were delivered. As some of you know, I have had complications with this pregnancy and therefore it is best if I don't work, also all of my classes are (were?) online so I am at home until at least 7pm every day.
My rant is that UPS did not try to deliver it to my door; they took it straight to my apartment office. Okay, fine, you're lazy, but it is your job to try, at least once to deliver it to my door. I know you didn't, because I was home when you delivered it at the office (at 2:54pm on a Monday). And if you are not going to deliver it to my door, don't lie to the office people and tell them you tried! It is so irritating when I am waiting for 2 weeks for a package and don't have it. I didn't get a knock on my door, and UPS didn't even leave a note on my door saying they had tried to deliver it! The person was too lazy to either A.) find my apartment or B.) Climb the one flight of stairs to get to my apartment; they simply took it to the office and lied and said they tried to deliver it. Also, didn't just happen once happened twice, with two different packages. If you are too lazy to try to find my apartment or climb the stairs to it, get a new job.
