GET YOUR DRINK ON
Officially, I am done taking my famous PHR exam!!! Can we say that I am extremely excited to be done with that damn thang? Now I have to wait another month before I find out if I actually passed it or not. I spent the last day before the exam studying at my library back home, and was in quite a delirous state during the day~I came home and couldn't even formulate a sentence, it was interesting attempting to talk to my mom.
The exciting news of the day is that on my way back to school, Jean and I stopped at the infamous "Humbird Cheese Factor." As we all know, I hold a special place in my heart for my beloved cheese. Well, this adverisement said they had a walk-in room to see the cheese being made-you can imagine my excitement!! I grabbed my camera and ran to the big, red building with yellow cut-outs of cheese in anticipation of seeing the divine food being made. My hopes were quickly dashed when the cheese clerk told me that they don't even make the cheese there anymore, and thier "viewing" room is now filled with baskets. On the upside, I did get to sample some different cheeses, which somewhat made up for not being able to see it being made. I also wanted to sit directly in the cheese cooler with the cheese and spread out among my true love to take a picture, but it didn't seem the cheese ladies were fond of that idea.
Apparently Hannah does not bother to read my lovely blobby as I announced BEFORE Clare that Hannah had her baby. No, that is fine, I see where I fit in her life!
Lastly, I am looking for New Year's plans. As of now, it seems everyone has something else going on, etc..or mabye I just really don't have any friends. But if anyone would like to see me, wherever you are located, or has interesting plans, do let me know!
It is time to shower...of course, it has been awhile...AND GET MY DRINK ON...

INSANITY IN A BOTTLE
The insanity is defintely setting in. I decided that I needed some suga' to keep me going with my studying. So I buy these chewy sweet tarts things and some m & m's. After about 10 minutes, I am practically bouncing ouf of my study cube. I am constantly tapping my shoes, rolling back on my chair, or reading at an extremely fast pace. After being scared silly by a Russian woman(or so I think) who came up to me to ask me for a pencil b/c she has an exam in 5 minutes, I turned my attention to my highlighters and pens around me. I then think it will be a good idea to thourghly examine them and see exaclty how they are made.. This, of course, turns into a complete thought process in my mind of me wondering what would happen if I would karate chop my highlighter. I am now quite curious about the liquid inside. Weather or not I will go through with my experiment remains a mystery.
It is time to spread my wings and fly...
On A More Serious Note(yes, I can actually be serious!)
(In memory of Salina-It has been 4 years, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her--may she rest in peace and PLEASE DON'T EVER DRINK AND DRIVE.)

CHEESE
I have suddenly wondered what my life would be like without cheese. I had it on my sandwich today, just plain old chedder, and yet my tastebuds felt like they were in extesey. I get almost a delirous excitement thinking about having a turkey and cheese sandwich for lunch, with "I can't beleive it's not butter" on some toasted whole wheat bread. I stare at the toaster as my mind races with the delcious thought, as if my bread will never return to me from the deep, neon lights of the toaster. It brings me back to a time in England where I would go to bed at night and couldn't wait to get up to my favorite breakfast cereal that I truly cherished.

Apparently "The Butter" didn't cut if for the baby's name
The biggest news is, of course, my good friend Hannah finally had the little creature! I can't wait to see him, I love babies, especially when they aren't mine..and I didn't have to suffer through hours of contractions without any pain killers..which reminds me again why I want drugs as soon as possible when I do give birth.
I know, I know, I have been neglecting blobby. He loves me, though. I have been gone for the weekend, it was okay, I shopped, ate, slept, watched tv, and did some more shopping.Turkey day included me being the butt of all the Chicago jokes including such things as"Ha ha Heather, you won't be able to afford to do anything in that town" and (a personal fav.)"for breakfast, maybe you could go to hotels that offer continental breakfasts for free." Thank you family, again, for the wondeful encouragement of me moving to Chicago.
I too wanted to watch the much anticpated "Saved By The Bell-the Real story" on E! tv, but I had to kick it back to school. It was my favorite show for years, I watched it as if it was my religon, I even had a SBTB book on the whole cast and would tape episodes in case they would never be on again. Instead, though, I got to watch the highly entertaing "Growing Pains true hollywood story"-which really wasn't that interesting excpet that Kirk Cameron turned into some religous pysho.
I know you are all excited that "The Butter" has returned. But I must retreat to my little cubby in the library in hopes that my homeless man hopefully found some other shelter.Let the countdown begin--only 4 days left to study for the PHR!
And for all of those who wanted to know-yes, I have received the "new" slippers. Only time will tell if we are truly meant to be. I will find out this weekend when I wear them to my favorite liquor store to see my clerk's.
For all of you who don't live in Wisconsin-it is damn cold righ now.
I was thinking about a time in France when a strange man in a hostel made mashed potatoes for approximately 3 hours-really, do they take THAT long? Who knows, who knows...
