My husband, the intelect...

For those of you wondering what it's like living with someone who has a completely scientific mind...

Right now Evan is watching The Jeff Corwin Experience, an Animal Planet favorite of his. Jeff just captured some snake and since I have not been closely following (interpret...not watching at all) I asked if it was a venomous snake. To which Evan simply replied, "Well, many of those new-world colubrids are opisthogliphous." Aaaaaand...left it at that. Oh, of course! How could I forget? Thanks for clearing that up for me, Babe!

P.S. For you simpletons (ie-ME!) who don't know what opisthogliphous means, its fangs are in the very back of its mouth and facing backwards, meaning they can't inject you full of venom in one strike like a rattler or a cobra. You would
essentially have to stick your hand down its mouth and let it chew on you for a very long time in order to do any damage. Oh yeah, and colubrid is the genus or species, or something. Or maybe both. I don't want to look it up.

P.P.S. I would normally post some kind of relating picture since one sister has told me that blogs without pictures are not interesting (and she's right), but another sister of mine would never visit my blog again if I posted a picture of a snake. Love you both! And I love you too, Evan!!! Oh, how I love you and your scientific mind!

Come clean, people!


OK, who desecrated an Indian burial ground? Or ticked off the local witch? Or disturbed a mummy's grave? WHO WAS IT???

I don't know what it was about yesterday, but it seemed that if it could go wrong, it did. It doesn't help that I committed to working full shifts at both jobs, which is more than I've done in a long time. Or that at one point during the week I didn't sleep a wink because I had majorly procrastinated a project. I guess all of that can add up to feeling more frazzled and less able to handle.....wait a minute, what am I doing?? I cannot reason away the truth! I WAS CURSED! So help me, if anyone tries to tell me otherwise I'll run away screaming!

Let's just hope next week is a little better than this one was.
