WELCOME HOME SNAP!

Our dear Ginger has been freezing her ass off in Madison, Wisconsin since Wednesday. She was up there having her first post-doc interview where apparently someone owned their very own "Giant Cuddly Competent Cell"...there will be more on that later!

I missed you Snap!!! I can't make it without you!!! We have to move together...and I'm NOT moving to Wisconsin! :)

See ya tonight babe!!! Kel's limo service will be up and running and I'll smell of the fair...YUM!

REDNECKS ON PARADE: THE DIXIE CLASSIC FAIR IS HERE!

Every year about this time all of the white trash of Forsyth County makes its grand appearance...Ladies and Gents...the Dixie Classic Fair is here! Sept 30th through Oct 9th we get to experience demolition derbies, lawn mower racing, and funnel cakes with the lowest of human society...sounds like fun to me! :)
I'll probably see some of you there...

...that wasn't meant to be an insult. hehe

Any other time of year this is called "a trip to Wal-Mart"!

More Wisdom From Javid! (as told by Kelly...aka Republican committee on dirty tricks)

The Difference Between Men and Women:

Every woman wants one man to satisfy her every need.

Every man wants every woman to satisfy his one need.

A Note For Ginger From Javid

Hey!...Don't be acting all crazy like you normally do!!!

Don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes you are a little crazy...I mean you ARE fun and all...but reel it in!!!

Five Tips For Women!

Thanks Jon! I love that this managed to find it's way to me via a guy...as long as I know I have your support... :)

Five tips for a woman....
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

Pic of the Week: My Journey Through Charleston

In July, I got to spend a few days at the Isle of Palms and Downtown Charleston. It was even more beautiful than I remembered from my trip the summer before with Brian and Todd...of course being that Brian and Todd are "pretty boys" I'm sure they were making sure I spent my trip appreciating how handsome they were. :)

Anywho...I spent most of my time at the Isle of Palms working on my tan, but we spent lots of time in Charleston site seeing. This was one of my favorite pictures that I took. I have a fascination with old churches and with graveyards. I managed to capture BOTH in this pic and I think it's incredible. This is the Circle Church of Charleston and apparently the place where the few Puritans of Charleston were buried.

Word Of The Week: Doppelganger

In case any of you were wondering what I was referring to in my "Kelly Plus Ten" post I thought I would educate you on this great English word. Use it three times and its yours!

dop·pel·gäng·er or dop·pel·gang·er n.
A ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts its fleshly counterpart.

Before There was "Kelly minus 5"...Now Introducing "Kelly Plus Ten"!!!

Javid has always given us an update on "hot chicks at the Y" after every single one of his workouts. Kelly's update on "hot guys at Y" are well...minimal. :) (The hot ones are out doing laps around the park BTW in case anyone is looking!) He has little nicknames for each of his favorites and we've all come to enjoy hearing new stories about these hot regulars. Well, several months ago we were introduced to "Hot Kelly".

Javid said there was a girl at the gym who looks remarkably like me and she is HOT! At first I thought...hmmm...does that mean I'm hot? Well, when I asked Javid what Hot Kelly had going for her that I didn't he paused and then answered..."Well...she's 5 years younger than you and therefore, is hot." I didn't like this answer much, but I found peace in knowing that one day she'd approach 30 too and well...would probably just get fat or something (hmmm...did I say that out loud). Her name was then officially changed from "Hot Kelly" to "Kelly Minus Five!".

Well today Javid informed me that I would still be attractive in 10 years. I found that reassuring but then inquired as to how he knew that information.

Apparently, there is a new HOT girl at the Y these days and as it turns out she is "Kelly Plus Ten"!

As many of you know there have been reports of my doppelganger for several years...including my own very freakish encounter with her one night in Krispy Kreme...SPOOKY!!! But to my fellow "Kellys"I say... keep looking hot and thanks for giving me hope that I'll still be a babe at 40! :)

Redneck Tip of the Week:

Thanks to my source on this one...I saw this again today and it cracked me up all over again. I gotta try this sometime!!! I got picked on for my "country accent" again at volleyball last night...maybe I am turning into a big redneck!! :) And the pic...well...another of my redneck favorites.


Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop,Place an order, and when they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with them.

Do I Have An Accent???

This past week I had a girl pass through town and come stay with me that I hadn't seen or talked to in over 6 years. Erin and I went to Va Tech together and we were both very heavily involved in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship there. I knew Erin at Tech but the two of us never really got to know each other well. She was friends with my old flame Justin (who by the way is recently engaged...CONGRATS JUSTIN!) and my friend Allyson. We had a great time playing catch up, sharing all the gossip we knew on our old InterVarsity buddies, and well...doing our "Allyson impersonations" and sharing our experiences about eating organic food and drinking soy milk w/ Ms. Hubble. According to Allyson, Erin and I were the two women in IV that all the men were chasing...well...good for us I guess...but I don't think either of us saw it that way. :) Maybe the fierce competition between us is what kept us from getting close...and well the fact that she was one of those pretentious business majors...just kiddin' Erin.

But this one comment did manage to leave me concerned. Upon Erin's arrival she greated me with the always flattering "You look great!" (Keep in mind I had just finished running so I was covered in sweat, wearing my very sexy running shorts and t-shirt, and sporting the classic pony tail...although considering that my prime time for getting hit on is when I'm at the gym, maybe this is my sexy look...who knows.) The "You look great" however, was very quickly followed with the "OH MY GOODNESS...You've Gotten a HUGE COUNTRY ACCENT since you left college!"

WHAT?

Is this true? Somebody tell me! I've apparently turned into an even bigger redneck than I was before...God help me! :)

Erin, it was fun...come back and see me soon! Way to march the Hokies to another "IN YOUR FACE" victory on Saturday! (Erin was in the marching band at Tech and made an alumni contribution to the band on Saturday...go Erin!)

Pic of the Week: Mighty Mother Nature

Once again...my fascination with storms made me instantly intrigued with this picture. Donna sent out some pictures of the approach of Hurricane Katrina. Some more of these may appear as future pics of the week...AMAZING!

Even This Cowboy Fan Celebrates For the Skins

So my friend Jayson...well, he's a funny guy...once again I will be bringing you some of his musings that I very much enjoy (you'll be getting another one of his classics very soon). Yesterday, he posted a letter from a "disgruntled Redskins fan" that pleadS Gibbs for a victory over Dallas. Guess the letter worked...way to pull 2 touchdowns out of your a$$ in the last few minutes! Amazing...especially considering a game full of "sucking" up to that point.

Here is the magical letter:

Coach Gibbs:

Please, please beat the Cowboys on Monday night. Do whatever it takes just bring home a victory for the long-suffering Skins fans who have only been able to enjoy 1 Redskins triumph over the Cowboys in the last 15 meetings.

I'm soooo sick of seeing the Redskins come up with new and unbelievable ways to lose games to the silver and blue. Come on, just win one in Big "D" for 'ol times sake.

Regards,
Disgruntled Redskins Fans Everywhere

Songs That Speak For Me: "I'm Moving On"

Tomorrow is our minature road trip (that's for you Snap!) to Raleigh to see one of my favorite bands: Rascal Flatts!!! I can't wait!!! Of course, in preparation for the event...I have being overloading on RF tunes. There is one song that has been special to me for years...it described very well the way I felt when I left home for college. It was frightening when I re-discovered it recently and realized that maybe it tells the story of my heart now more than ever as I prepare to finish school and move. It's amazing sometimes how music can be so powerful...every time I hear this song I just stop in my tracks and speak the words out loud. The good news in this song and in my life is that I "am not alone"...I have so many absolutely amazing friendships that even thousands of miles and even sometimes oceans have not been able to sever.

The lyrics to "I'm Moving On" are below...this is exactly how I feel.

"I'm Moving On"

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons

Finally content with a past I regret

I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness

For once I'm at peace with myself

I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces

Each one is different but they're always the same

They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it

They'll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me

And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone

There comes a time in everyone's life

When all you can see are the years passing by

And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't

Stopped to fill up on my way out of town

I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't

I had to lose everything to find out

Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on

Quote of the Week: Wake Football Predictions

Yesterday we were discussing Wake Forest football and when asked about the Wake - Duke match-up on Oct 29th my boss predicted that Wake will: "Snatch defeat out of the hands of victory!"

Nice call, Mike!

My Favorite Word DOES Mean Something!! MELLIFLUOUS!

It's scary how easily I pick up other people's phrases...although not so good with my friends who seem to curse all the time! :) Months ago I picked up on the word "Mellifluous" from Javid...and if you heard how he says it you would know why. It became the word for well, anything...anything good that is. I figured it was just some nonsense word...but as happens from time to time...I was wrong...it is a real word indeed and the reason for it's fame is also a fun one. It was a #10 on one of David Letterman's Top Ten List:

==============================================================
Top Ten WordsThat Sound Great When Spoken By James Earl Jones
==============================================================

**As read by James Earl Jones himself!**
10. Mellifluous
9. Verisimiltude
8. Guppy
7. Stolichnaya
6. Boutros-Boutros Ghali
5. Neo-Synephrine
4. Pinhead
3. Mujibar and Sirajul
2. Heebie-Jeebies
1. Oprah
---> January 6, 1994 <---

The meaning of the word is:
1. Flowing with sweetness or honey.
2. Smooth and sweet: "polite and cordial, with a mellifluous, well-educated voice" (H.W. Crocker III).
3. Pleasing to the ear

syn: dulcet, honeyed, mellisonant, sweet

Where Were These Wisdom Nuggets When I Needed Them?!

Occasionally, I find something on one of my friends' blogs that I feel is so "meaningful" to me that I have to post it again so that they can reach a greater audience. Our dear Baba keeps a running tab on the lessons she learns from watching Laguna Beach. When I read this I thought: "This is pure wisdom...these truths should not be hidden!" Thanks Baba! If you'd like to read more of her work or the rest of the crazies who contribute to "The Pool Report"...then dive in at your own risk. :)

**Oh, and to the Laguna Beach addict retards...yeah...you know who you are (I wouldn't know this show existed except for the fact that I get it recounted to me by you guys! :) )...there is a site that contains "quality quotes" from Laguna.

Laguna Lessons:
In true MTV fashion, I was able to catch one of the 50 reruns of Laguna last night. Here's my version of the lessons gleaned:

-If he cheats with you, he'll cheat on you.

-Girls who don't like each other can't be friends.

-Boys only want you when you aren't theirs.

-When you go to a bonfire, remember, only you can make it fun.

-"I wasn't thinking," is not an excuse for cheating......or for anything.

Observations:
If Kristin is your friend, she's a good friend to you. If she's not your friend, watch out.

Alex has some self-respect, but Jessica has none.

Next weeks pre-emptive observation:What happens in Cabo stays in Cabo, unless you put it on MTV.

Top This Mr. Hickey!! Homebrew Heaven!

I LOVE THE SOUTH!!! It amazes me as time passes that I keep getting my eyes opened to more new and exciting things. In Virginia...well, we just make moonshine...apparently, the upper crust of redneck society steps it up a notch over "drinkable gasoline" to making their own beer. Pure Genious! One of the guys I play volleyball with sent our team a pic of his new homebrew set-up...Pretty Sweet...not that I would really know...but it looks impressive. I hear that a certain Mr. Hickey has gotten himself some new shiny pots for this endeavor...maybe you should take lessons from this master of the brew. Or you could ask my friend David...he is a true Davidson County boy...brews his own beer and keeps chickens...good job dude!

Nice Booty!...Shalom!...Whatever!

HEY HORN The Friendly Alternative To Regular Honking

A bunch of you have seen this...but for those of you who haven't PLEASE go watch this. The best part is that I think you may actually be able to buy this thing!

Who is getting me mine for Christmas?! :)

Hokies United

This past week 23 undergrads and 10 grad students from Tulane University in New Orleans were enrolled at Virginia Tech. Colleges across the country are taking in these displaced students and Va Tech is no exception. These students should know that they are gladly welcomed by Hokies everywhere and you are now a part of our rich heritage. We pray that Tulane will soon be back on its feet...but until then and even after...you can now count the very zealous Hokie family as your own. As noted by the announcers for the Tech - Duke game on Saturday...Va Tech fans have become famous nationwide for their school spirit and for being one of the best "12th men" in the country.

Hokies United, a group that was formed after 9/11 to raise money for victims and their families, is now back in action raising aid for Hurricane Katrina victims. Virginia Tech has put together a list of ways to help through the University that are listed on the web site I have linked above. Please do what you can and keep praying!

The Blue Devils Get Spanked!

Va Tech 45 - Duke 0

After a not so stellar performance in Raleigh last weekend (although thankfully still a W for the Hokies), Va Tech was ready to start polishing their game this weekend against Duke. Not surprisingly, Wallace Wade Stadium radiated brightly with the beautiful color combo of orange and maroon…Tech’s 12th man was there in force. The Hokies’ defense made the point of reminding Duke that it’s time for the ACC to learn to play football. I’ll admit this shutout wasn’t the most exciting game I’ve ever watched. Normally, I’m sitting two inches from the screen screaming and jumping up and down in nervousness (yes…I realize that I might need to relax!). This one was a little different…for once I watched Tech football laid back on the couch drinking my jug of sweet tea and balancing the checkbook while glancing up to catch the big plays when I finally heard any excitement in the announcer’s voice. If you take a look at the numbers from this game you would have thought we were playing the local high school. Sorry, Blue Devils…the Hokies UPSET you last year on the basketball court and we were back to remind you that we rule the turf!

Let’s take a moment to look at some of my favorite quotes and stats from this game:

Espn says: “ It was over when…Marcus Vick threw the first of his three TD passes in the first quarter. The way the Hokies defense was playing, that was all the scoring Va Tech would need.”

Espn also quotes: “Gameball goes to…The Va Tech defense. The Hokies held Duke to just 35 total yards on 53 plays and notched 10 tackles-for-loss and held Duke to just 13 yards rushing on 36 attempts. Is that any good?”

Jimmy Robertson of the Va Tech newspaper notes:
-Tech held Duke to just 35 yds of total offense – the fewest yards allowed by the Hokies in a game in the “modern era” (post-1950)
-This was Duke’s lowest yardage total in at least nine years.
-This makes the 11th straight season that the Hokies have shutout an opponent.

Somebody Please "PIMP OUR RIDES!" Apparently, It Could Be Worse!

If you're sitting there right now thinking: "Why is Kel posting pictures of her car?"...then take a closer look!

Several weeks ago I was leaving the lab at some ungodly hour in the morning and David stopped me on the way out and told me to drive to the lower lot because there was a car I HAD to see. He told me I'd know it when I saw it. He was right!

For those of you who haven't seen my ride in a while...I have a very lovely '95 Buick Century. When I first got it...it was well...a Buick...but all considered it was actually pretty nice. After enduring almost 6 yrs of my driving, been involved in two "hit and runs" (NO, I wasn't the one running!), a nice fender bender, running over a large deer, and hitting a hawk mid-air; it now has a few cuts and bruises. To finish it off I am now officially hubcap-less...which I kind of like because until now it was the signature look of my sweet ride.

When I pulled in to the lower lot I saw the car shown above...I thought to myself: "Wait...that's my car...oh, no it's not...IT'S WORSE!!" Not only is it hubcap-less, but they have white walls on the front and not on the back. Then notice the hood...they have obviously lost some paint and the front lights are strategically held on by none other than duct tape! The pictures don't even show you that there is merely a whole in the trunk where the lock should be.

So my next thought was: "Well...I guess it could be worse!". :) I propose that the TV show Pimp My Ride should hook us both up...I mean how cute would that be!

Happy Birthday Dr. Mary!!

Happy Birthday Mary! I miss you! (Mary is the hot blonde in the middle BTW.) Mary received her M.D. from Wake in May 2004. She's now an OB/Gyn resident in Arizona. I'm proud of you Mary...keep up the good work! Mary...you'll be happy to know that Charlie once again started preaching on the "role of women in the home" last weekend at Jayson's...and immediately we all announced: "If Mary was here...! :) Love you girl!

The Way I Remember New Orleans

About a week before Katrina rolled into New Orleans, I put this picture up on my desktop. I was having a rough day at work and thought I would remind myself of good times. I had no idea at the time how sentimental this picture would become to me.

January of this year, my friend Allyson was generous enough to foot the majority of the bill for me to come along on a trip with her to Nawlins to watch our beloved Hokies play in the Sugar Bowl. Despite our loss to Auburn, it was one of my favorite trips yet. We spent an evening having way too much fun on Bourbon street...and lucky for me, the more light-hearted atmosphere of Nawlins around game time meant that earning beads simply meant I had to flirt a little. :) (And yes...I think I did prove that blondes have more fun!!! Sorry, Renee!) Once I recovered enough the next morning, I took an adventurous trip to meet the girls in the Garden District...which by the way made most of the homes here look like public housing. That night we geared up for our stay in the Superdome. Of course, for us... the Superdome became the home of more stories...due to issues with our tickets we were all seated apart from each other. Allyson and Renee found seats together in the Auburn section (I think we all know where this is going.). I decided to keep my seat alone upstairs after meeting a very hot guy who had apparently taken a couple of months off from his job as an engineer in Atlanta to travel the country and meet up with his old college buddies. I spent the evening very happily eating hot dogs and nachos with Mr. Atlanta. I yelled and screamed for my Hokies and when the game was over and Mr. Atlanta and I had said our good byes I went out to meet up with the girls. I quickly discovered that they had been sitting outside for the last quarter of the game because Allyson had gotten in a little tiff with a redneck Auburn fan. The next day we headed out and the last thing I thought to myself was: "I've gotta come back here...SOON!"

I have always had a complete fascination with storms. I LOVE thunderstorms, and people close to me know that I enjoy nothing more than watching hurricane coverage since I remember weathering a few of them as a child. So when Katrina made her appearance I went from my normal half hour of TV a week to being clued to the set. I thought this one would come and go like the others with only downed limbs as a reminder of her visit. I was wrong. I admit that I've had to limit my news watching lately since watching the heartache of the people in New Orleans and Miss. leaves me in tears. Now when I see the beads and feathers I brought home from Nawlins hanging over my bedroom door, instead of laughing at all the crazy stuff that happened there, I stop and say a prayer for all the homeless, sick, and broken-hearted. We have yet to hear from my old labmate and his family...he was one of the doctors who stayed behind to run the hospitals.

2 Kings 20:5

"This is what the Lord, the God of your father David says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you."

New Orleans, I can't wait to come back!

If You Liked Napolean Dynamite...YOU'LL LOVE THIS!

Chuck Amato as Chuck Dynamite

"Do the Hokies have large talons?"

Check this out...trust me on this one! Thanks Jayson for letting me steal from your blog.

My Friend...The Model

Check this out!! As I sit on the phone with my friend Todd the other night, I ask him: "Well, is there anything going on with you well, besides women?". Todd is a ladies' man extraordinaire (sorry Todd...luv ya!), and for those of you that know him, you're cracking up right now. So with the sound of his guitar strumming in the background he giggles in response to my question...so I knew I was about to get something good. "Indeed there is!", he answers. Apparently Todd has found his way into the modeling business. Not sure how I feel about the pensive model look he's got going on here...but hey...I'm not the professional here. Good luck Todd! You've always been able to sell me on things...so a man's shirt...why not?! :)

Conservatives Rejoice! A Successor To George W.?

Ok...get ready to rally my fellow conservatives! My "Super Snap" hooked me up with this the other day and I have to say I thought: "You know, this guy knows what he's talking about!" I thought everyone thought this way...but I've been informed recently that indeed not everyone agrees with my moral and political ideals. (But they should! :) ) God forbid Hillary takes over this country (sorry Amy...love you anyways!)...so lets find someone like this to set America straight.

The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Aye from GA.

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other weak minded loud mouth bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness which, by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (CAN A GET AN AMEN!)(lastly....)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!"

GO HOKIES! Baby Vick Now On The Scene!

Every year I hold my breath as my Hokies take the field for the first time. Especially this year...the baby brother of Va. Tech's cherished Michael Vick, Marcus Vick made his first QB start for the Hokies after a year of suspension for questionable behavior. The name Vick carries a certain level of respect and expectation in Hokieland and unfortunately Marcus' actions to this point had left the hopes of most fans deflated. But as the season opener at N.C. State progressed Marcus started looking more and more like his elder brother. (Of course as Michael watched closely over him from the Tech sideline.) There were several questionable calls and many rough edges for both teams...but after only several small heart attacks on my part, my boys pulled out a 20-16 victory over the Wolfpack. Good job boys!! Let's improve on that and kick some serious Duke A$$ this weekend!!!!

Another Distraction

Yes ladies and gentlemen...I'm blogging!! From time to time I may publish the little things in life that bring me amusement. Let's see how this goes!
