You see a fabulous girl/guy at a party. You approach them to get their telephone number. The next day you call and say, “Hi, I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Telemarketing.

That’s Advertising.

You’re at a party and see a fabulous girl/guy. You get up, straighten your clothes, walk up and pour them a drink. You open the door, pick up their bag after it drops, offer them a ride, and then say, “By the way, I’m fantastic in bed.”

That’s Public Relations.

SK and I went to Houston this weekend and spent some time with my nephews. They are getting so big! The youngest one will be 4 in a few days, and the oldest will be 5 in December. The birthday boy loves to go to the bowling alley, so that was our first stop. It was only the third time I’d ever been bowling, and SK’s only been a handful of times. I had a lot more fun that I thought I would! With a few strikes and spares each, we managed to get a few decent scores (although I’m sure they would have been lower if we bowled without the bumpers!). It was a quick trip, but it was nice to see them.

Thanks for all the well-wishes about my anatomy and physiology midterm. I’m pretty happy with how well I scored. I didn’t do as well as I’d hoped on my second test in statistics, but I still have a high B in there. There’s still hope! I can earn extra credit in government if I spend eight hours helping a political campaign. I need to make some phone calls to see what options are available.

As for nursing school, still no letter. I did confirm that they have the right address on file, so who knows where it went. There is probably a warm bird’s nest with lovely new wallpaper that reads ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected.’ The admissions office said that there are several people who did not get their letter yet, and now I have to wait until Nov 4th. If I still don’t have my letter by Nov 4th, they will tell me my status if I go into the office.

On the geeky side of things, Firefox has made their latest release public (Firefox 2 Release Candidate 3). I still need to install IE7. I updated my forums again. Several of you mentioned problems with the other ones — These should work much better. Check em out!

I just wanted to take a quick second and thank everyone for their warm wishes. While several people who are trying to get into the same nursing program got their letters on Friday, I’m still waiting on mine. I called the school, and they told me to keep waiting. They won’t tell me anything over the phone until October 26th.

It’s hard to concentrate on my midterms because I’m so anxious about this dad gum letter. Luckily, SK is pretty good at keeping my mind where it should be.

Nursing school acceptance letters were supposed to be mailed no later than today. I’m a nervous wreck.

**update** They were mailed today. So, I should know something tomorrow or Saturday! Ahhh!

There’s a song on the radio by Panic! At The Disco called I Write Sins Not Tragedies that is getting a lot of air play right now. Part of the chorus is “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?” I find it amusing that the radio stations around here are bleeping out “God” like it’s the bad word.

(For the curious, full lyrics under the cut)

In an effort to take better care of myself, I’ve been trying to drink more water. How in the world does anyone drink 64oz of water on a normal day (one where they are not sweating like crazy)? All this water makes me feel … odd. And how am I supposed to EAT if I have so much water in my tummy?

I just don’t drink enough fluids, period, I guess.
