Indescribably Weird

I really had no plans on blogging anytime in the near future or perhaps at all until I return to Grand Rapids in January. (I came home a bit earlier than expected due to no hours available at BABs and my great-aunt's unexpected death.)
But then I stumbled upon this bit of news and I knew I had to blog at least one last time. I mean this story is better than the story about Matthew Pan Hiasl, everyone's favorite "person."
During Long Lake this summer, Jenny and I had a long, late night discussion about bigamy, polygamy, and David's wives. David had eight wives: Michal, Abigail, Bathsheba, Ahinoam, Maachah, Haggith, Abital, and Eglah. For more information on this, please feel free to see the most reliable source on the internet.
But here's the thing; David only had eight wives; this lady had TEN husbands. What do you do with ten husbands? I mean, okay, besides the obvious... I mean, I like guys as much as the next straight girl, but dude...that's just weird. Okay, so she was probably doing it for more money than anything else but why would you want to marry ten men? Wouldn't it get confusing? I mean, I have enough trouble keeping a couple of guys' names straight in my mind and they're just my friends. What on earth would I do if I had ten men whose names I HAD to keep straight? I guess name tags could be an option or you could number them but all of that is a bit excessive. Which leads us to....
Reason #874 why Bigamy/Polygamy are a bad idea: How do you keep their names straight?

The end of an era...or at least a semester

I'm currently sitting on my couch looking at my Christmas tree and listening to music from the movie Aladdin. The music is not putting me in the Christmas spirit but rather is relaxing me as I prepare to go to GVSU Language Resource Center and watch my classmates' and my final projects for our Spanish class. Now you may wonder about the significance of this. This will be my last school-related activity of the semester besides selling my textbooks tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to the end of the semester. Granted, I am staying out in Grand Rapids for a while longer to make a little more money in the bagel/coffee industry. But I'm just ready for classes and that stuff to be over.
Speaking of the bagel/coffee industry, the other day I invented a new drink....Raspberry-Cheesecake Hot Chocolate. It was sweet and awesome. I'm thinking about inventing more drinks the next time I'm working and I have some free/down time. I want to make either a tiramisu mocha or a tiramisu hot chocolate drink. Or maybe both...we shall see.

And in three hours or so, I'll be free....
Then I'll be able to work and earn money and invent more drinks if people come to visit me at work. Also, let me know if you think up any brilliant drinks I should invent.
