So, on to some random items that have happened recently and worth mentioning...
Earlier this week I was discussing a topic of great import with some of my co-workers: shoplifting. One co-worker claimed that bibles are the most frequently shoplifted item. I had to laugh because that is ironic and hilarious... We joked that hopefully there are no repeat offenders of that particular crime...
I did some searching and found that in some categories the most frequently shoplifted item is actually meat... I'm sure among "vegetarians shoplifters" that statistic is just not true. Or maybe you are less likely to shoplift if you are a vegetarian... But the corollary is also interesting. I eat meat and I eat as much as possible but I don't shoplift (except I have to confess that I've taken more than one of those little sausages-on-a-toothpick samples handed out by the grocery ladies on particular days... ) Anyway, it's an interesting PhD topic that I may or may not get to while I attend Georgia Tech.
Changing the topic, I was watching a little of American Idol a few days ago. I have never seen a full show yet and thus I don't know a lot about it. My cousin Lisa will be very disappointed in me but as I was watching I said to Lindy, "Hey, there is a girl singing in the Idol preliminary rounds who has the exact same name as Kelly Clarkson and they are letting that Justin guy try-out again this season..." I didn't realize until quite some time that it was a "looking back at where we were" type of broadcast. The "American Idol Rewind" title clued me in... I'm quite embarrassed about my mistake. Kind of. At the same time I feel quite proud that I know so little about pop culture that I can make such a mistake. I think during Season 1 I was getting back from my mission anyway...
Okay, I don't want to make this post too long but Lindy claims that Anya smiled at her for the first time while I was at school. She was quite excited about that. That means that for every smile we get, there are about 30 days of feeding and crying. I hope to be there at the next smile sometime around February 20th...
Goodnight!!!!
