Expanding My Breeding Horizons

Today I learnt how to make canola, wheat and tomatoes have sex. Within the next few days I will learn the same with barley and peas. Wow, I live such an exciting life! Speaking of which, the countdown is on -- 12 more days till departure!

today is one of those days

where i want to quit and get a job at mcdonald serving burgers and fries. well, maybe that is a little extreme, but today i do wish i had stopped after 1 degree ... or the 2nd.

6 Weird Things

My friend Joanna (with the twins) tagged me. At first I thought I was suppose to come up with 6 reasons why I am weird, then I realized it was 6 things about me that are weird. Feel free to add any others to the comment section and don't worry, I am very good at laughing at myself.

1) Whenever I meet a new friend I can't help but show them my 'cow album' of the girls at home, even if they are laughing in disbelief.

2) I talk to myself, a lot.

3) I moved to the middle of the frickin' cold prairies in January 5 years ago.

4) Last Monday I taught Analysis of Variance and T-Tests to a group of undergraduate students and thought I was in heaven for a brief moment.

5) I seem to have trouble digesting wheat flour, but not in a typical way (ie. the way a celiac would have trouble digesting it).

6) I'm going to make some lentils 'have sex' in about an hour!

I tag Crys. Shouldn't be that hard for 'ya (just kidding).

stupidstore

does anyone else hate superstore for the following reasons?:

-dusty groceries
-unstocked shelves on basic items (especially on items you know are only sold at superstore such as indian spices or really basic items such as tomato paste)
-crappy produce
-long, long line ups of people with $200 worth of groceries
-lack of price tags
-non-logical positioning of certain items and no personnel to ask the location of these goods
-an underground parking lot where the lights are turned off while people are still paying for their groceries (is that really safe for a single female??)

I guess I could find consolation in the fact that I may be saving money by grocery shopping there, but that is really hard to judge when your grocery bill is $180.

Working in a male-dominated industry

Advantage: No waiting in line ups for the bathroom.

Disadvantage: Getting hit on within a 'professional' conversation.

mE no (or knoW?) muLtitask

in attempt to emulate my extremely hard-working, smart boyfriend who does the work of 2 people, i attempted multitasking today. after i nearly caused a somewhat epic flood i decided that i'll stick to one task at a time.
