A new Semester

I am a week behind in posting on this blog because I can not think of anything important to write about. My last post was about Procrastination---so there it is!
How bout "Ice Storm 2007? Are we all sick of it yet? Last Thursday night people at the stores were Nuclear Holocausting it on their way through the aisles. Really Rude stuff happening there. Like Oh Crap I gotta get the last can of cream of mushroom soup before that guy behind me gets it!!!
Yep...we're gonna live on those no-named casseroles with unknown canned ingredients for the duration of this ice, so shut up!
The folks in Minnesota are surely laughing at our survivalist capabilities. I'm embarassed for all of us.
"This is NewsChannel 9 and we're here to keep you advised that the entire state has shut down due to ICE STORM 2007"

Fact for the day: Did you know that the venerable vanilla bean comes from a type of orchid appropriately named the vanilla planifolia?

I think the news tend to cause all this hysteria going on whenever a storm comes. You know this old guy on a channel nine? He seems to wish that everything is a tornado. We have to seek a shelter everytime there a black cloud according to him, but Mike on channel four--I think--is saying it is just a cloud, and it's no problem.
Yes, the stores were packed. I couldn't believe that Target on the second street had several cashers working instead of just one or two as usual.

Don't feel bad about procrastinating we all do it at some point or at least I know I do. Yes I grew tired of hearing about Ice Storm 2007 coming, then Ice Storm 2007 leaving, and the remains of Ice STorm 2007 and coming to a TV near you- Son of Ice Storm 2007- The snow storm of 2007. If you would like to comment on my blog I am babbling brooke. Take care and watch out for falling ice.
