Read the title! Seriously. Weird. Difficult. Not fun. I truly don't know how people who do shift work do it. Saturday night, JB left at 11pm, and I went to bed. I get up a little after 8am just as he is coming to bed. I hang out by myself until 2pm. During this time I try to avoid making loud noises or going into my bedroom. 2:30pm JB wakes up. Then, to make matters worse, I feel like doing something the moment he crawls out of bed. "JB, let's go for a walk. JB, let's play a game. JB let's organize the storage bin!" But poor JB just woke up and just wants to watch a movie and "vegetate". Can you blame him? So instead, I put on my running clothes and ipod nano and head out for a run by myself. He's been on his feet all night and only managed six hours of sleep. He doesn't want to go for a run. I understand that, but geez, another bummer. Our window of warm weather is being sucked shut quickly. Life in the Polar North is about to come on with a vengeance.
Speaking of "outside" time, Dr. Oz on Oprah debunked a common myth. Did you know that in the winter you are not actually getting the flu and colds from the weather? That's right. Instead, you are getting the flu during the winter because people naturally congregate inside when it is cold outside. Lots of people + small places = sickness. Isn't that something? I never realized that. However, those of you who live up north know it is true. Indoor activities are all there is.
Digression, digression, digression.
JB and I have our favorites, and they are NOT the two jo-smo's on the edges of this photos. Billy has already been eliminated. I put him on there because the guy pulled one of the strangest Survivor moments in history. He actually thought that when another girl from another tribe said, "Well all love you" in response to hearing he was going to be voted out, that she was actually in love with him. And he was in love with her as well. I'm not sure if this is just strange or just sad. It was the most bizarre thing I have seen yet. Jeff Probst had no idea what to say. The guy was serious. How can you mock him if he means what he is saying. He has come to Survivor and found true love. Oh my.
On the right side of the picture is Parvarti. You knew Parvarti was going to be strange when you find out she is a boxer and waitress. Hmmmm .... and she lives up to it, let me tell you what. If you want to get a lesson on "how to flirt and let everyone know you are doing it", Parvarti would be the best tutor possible.
Okay, so our two favorites happen to both be Asian. Each race had equal representation upon the onset, and elimination has been fairly spread out as well. The only race that hasn't lost a member are the Asians. Our favorites are Becky and Yul. They rock.
Okay, I guess I seem even more shallow, but heck, I have to do something to avoid searching the web for IVF statistics (a very poor activity choice).
If this blog has left you gasping for air and completely lost, wondering which way is up, do not fear. You are not alone. I am completely lost myself. I better go to work. Better to be lost making money then wasting time.
P.S. I do NOT know why my paragraphs are so screwed up with this new Blogger Beta. Hopefully they will fix this soon.

Thank goodness that myth was busted on National television. I have been telling people for years that you DO NOT GET SICK FROM WEATHER! My mother and grandmother are notorious for this accusation. Getting sick from the cold, or getting sick for going outside with wet hair in the cold was thier claim. Even at 19 I had to try to convince my grandmother that I wasn't going to die of pneumonia. Phew. I hope she watched Oprah yesterday.
Wendi Welcome to our world. Bob works 6PM - 6AM 3 days one week and 4 days the next. Wow you think, 4 days off one week and 3 the next! Only problem is the first day is spent sleeping and the rest you end up taking a looong nap in the afternoon. He gets up at 4 and leaves by 5:30. He gets home by 7 and we leave by 7:30. aargh... Oh well, this has been life for the past 2 yrs. We're praying for something to open/work out on the day shift. Did you hear that Lord? :)
