Uno: What does "prime the band" mean? I have heard some people say that drinking a certain amount of water before you eat "primes the band". What is that exactly? Just something I've wondered for a while.
Deux: Thank you all for the kind comments and responses to yesterday's post. Often times, we are our own harshest critics, and it is so wonderful to have you all here to remind me that I don't have to be so darn mean to myself all the time! Plus, y'all had some great tips on organizing and getting stuff done which I'll be trying to implement in the near future.
Three: Do you know the blog Young House Love? On a post yesterday, they linked to a company called A Vintage Poster, wherein I found this gem which was so apropos to my Whiny Wednesday post. I just need to pick a place to start and get to gettin' rather than feel so paralyzed by everything.
Vier: I'm running out of languages, gonna have to start googling soon. Did you even notice? :)
Fimm: School continues to stress me out. It just doesn't seem possible that I will be able to complete all my assignments, turn them in, and have them graded (which takes 3-5 days for each) by the 31st. Darn me and that procrastination monster.
Sex: (Well, Latin, you saucy minx...) I'm not having any. (badum ching!)
Sette: I have been obsessed with Olive Garden lately. I wish I were kidding when I tell you that I have had it four times in the past seven days. Cheese ravioli rocks my socks.
Juróom ñett: I once worked with a guy from Senegal. His native language was Wolof, which is just fun to say. (Pronounced "WOHL-ahv"). He was also fluent in French and English. He got very offended if he called your name and you answered with "What?" In his strong Wolofian/French accent, he would say, "Don't say what to me. It is rude." I am reminded of him several times a week when Logan calls for me and I say, "What?"
Nau: The Bloggess is coming to Dayton next Tuesday for a book signing. I'm going with a friend from high school. Although, I bought the electronic version of her book, so short of having her sign my Kindle, I think I'm going to have to shell out more moolah for a book I already own. Blah to that.
Tō: I work for a regional group of retail furniture stores. Many times in the almost-two-years I've worked here, I've had friends or family ask about getting my (pretty decent) discount. I'm too chicken to do it for them because I don't really know how the process works and I'm afraid I'll get caught. Wimpy McWimperton, right here, buddy. Not sure why that popped into my head as a TTT, but thereyougo.
Blogger challenge: List all 10 languages in the comments! I gave you lots of hints...

THAT was seriously around the world. Holy crap - no way can I name all of them.
Priming the band....If I'm really tight, I can drink warm liquids and it loosens up a bit, or I can drink a bottle of wine and then I could eat the bottle it came in!
Bawahahahaha....saucy minx #sex. Loved that one.
I noticed as soon as you got to "deux." But then, I'm a neditor. (I spelled it that way on purpose--that's what my husband calls me.)
Here's a secret for ya ... you don't have to buy a book to go to a book signing. I know you know that, I'm just yanking your chain. I decided a long time ago I didn't need to collect authors' signatures, although I do have a bunch. Sometimes they chase you down and make you hold still while they sign the book. ;)
