So even one has one TV show they love that they really don't really want to admit to watching, it's their guiltiest pleasure.  One of mine is South Park.  I like it because some of the episodes are actually rather smart with a lot of low ball humor worked in.  ( one of favorites is one explaining the origins of the Mormon religion)

If you have ever watched South Park then you know about the teacher named Mr. Garrison.  He ends every sentence with the word ok.  But it's not really "ok", it's more like M'kay.... and drawn out.  

So in one of my classes this term, I have  teacher that says that.  and not only does he say it, but he says it often.  The other night, we counted the occurrences over a 15-minute time period and then extrapolated the data.  If we were to count for the entire class, we believe he says it about 684 times.  Literally, 684 times.  After about the first 15 times, it gets pretty annoying, then giggle inducing then eventually annoying again.  My big question is, how I phrase this in the evaluation at the end of the term to get across just how annoying and distracting it really is?

September 14, 2011

So every once in a while  in life, you get lost.  When this happens, its important to remember what simple things bring you joy and return to them.

Saying that, I have to tell you, I freaking rocked double coupon day today at Copps.
In case you are not sure of the rules, you are allowed up to 5 $1 off coupons to be doubled.
So today, I got several products for super cheap or free.  The first item are the delicious warm and serve rolls from Rhodes.  I had found coupons on the internet ( note to self: print more before they are gone) for $1 off a package.  They retail for $2.59, so when you double $1, I only paid 59  cents for each pack.  SCORE!! I love them.  So that was 2 of my coupons ( I got 2 packs).  My next score was this breakfast thing made by Pillsbury.  It was eggs scrambled with vegetables and potatoes and then you just microwave it.  They were on sale for $2 a package this week - but wait I had a $1.00 coupon that was doubled so it was FREE!!! another sweet score.  I will spare you the rest of the details, but I will say I got hamburger helper for 50 cents a box and Jack's pizza for $1.33 each.  I am so good at this when I try.  LOL  If only they didn't limit me to 5 coupons.
