What flavor ice cream are you?

Yes I DO have too much time on my hands today...

You Are Strawberry Ice Cream

A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core. You often find yourself on the outside looking in. Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works. You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.

The World's Shortest Personality Test

You are sexy, powerful, and bold. You're full of passion and energy... Sometimes this passion has a dark side. You feel most alive when you're seducing someone. You never fail to get someone's attention. Quick minded, you're also quick to lose your temper!

SPF what?

My plan for this weekend is to get some sun. That's all I want. Well, sun and relaxation. Last weekend I went to the pool for about three hours. The purpose was not to swim, not to get exercise. All I wanted was some sun. I put on SPF 30 because I always get concerned that if I put on something low, like 6, I'll just fry. With my SPF 30, I got some vague tan lines, except in the areas that I apparently missed. Those areas got nice and burned. Not horribly, but enough. Now that the burn is gone, those areas are a nice tan color, tanner than most of the rest of me. So, this weekend, when we go out on the lake, I think I'm going to opt for something with a low SPF, like 6. I'm either gonna get burned to a crisp, or, just possibly, I'll come back from South Carolina with a decent tan. It is probable that the former option is what will occur, but I'll stay optimistic.

So, I'm starting my holiday weekend early. We are driving South this afternoon/evening and I'll be off until Tuesday. I want to accomplish the following during my long weekend:

1. Get a tan
2. Go out on the boat
3. Go out on the Seadoos
4. Consume one or two alcoholic beverages
5. Not think about work at all
6. Spend some quality time with my boyfriend (this one should be appended with spend some time with my boyfriend, and his parents and his sister and his aunts and his uncles and his cousins and his mom's friends...)
7. See some nice fireworks
8. Not get bitten by too many mosquitoes

Most of these are pretty easy to accomplish...we'll see what actually occurs this weekend.

I don't have any exciting news like Melissa...sorry.

Hot weather and Yoda

My mom is downtown this afternoon so we thought we would have lunch together. That means that we both walk about 3 blocks (I think it's a little less from her building) and go to McDonald's. Well, when we got in McDonald's, the fire alarm started going off and an automated voice prompted everyone to leave the building. That message excluded mostly everyone in McDonald's apparently, and since we didn't see anyone on fire, we stayed in line to get some food. But then my mom was nervous about staying in the restaurant for lunch. So we took our food (my quarter pounder and fries and her bag of apples) and stood outside. To eat lunch. In the 90 degree heat. (But we were in the shade, so that made it all better.) It was hot. And I'm not in hot weather apparel because I have to go to Court so I was trying to look at least somewhat presentable. It was hot. Plus I got blisters on my feet from wearing a new pair of shoes. And...did I mention it was hot? So, so far it's been kind of a not so great day.

So, what could be better on this fine (read this as HOT) day but to make a list of the best Yoda quotes (or at least the ones that I know or the ones that I can find). Feel free to add some to the list.

1. Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.
2. Much to learn you still have.
3. When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not.
4. Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
5. Size matters not. Judge me by my size do you?
6. [Luke] I can't believe it. [Yoda] That is why you fail.
7. Wars not make one great.
8. Already know you that which you need.
9. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will.
10. Help you I can, yes.
11. May the force be with you.

OK, so I was aiming for 10. I'll give you that extra one for free.

My Top 100
