Pooh Stick Adventures

Today I went with a few of my friends to the Riverwalk here in Tuscaloosa. I haven't seen these girls in a while and it was so good to hang out with them. However, we hit a little bump in the evening when we decided to play Pooh Sticks on one of the bridges. It was my idea and I was so excited as I gathered up sticks for all of us. We counted to 3 and dropped our sticks off a bridge. This bridge went over a creek that branched off the river and into a sewage pipe that ran under the road on the other side. Well we dropped our sticks and ran to the other side. While waiting for our sticks all of a sudden we see something fall to the water. Kim, our driver, dropped her keys on accident! Luckily it was in the creek and not in the river! However, this fairly deep for a creek- at least waist high. We scaled the side of the bank- which was not too easy for the three of us in flip flops and with my ankle- which still isn't completely healed since spraining it in Nashville. Anyways Kim made it all the way down-waist deep in water searching for the keys with a stick. After several desperate minutes and 4 people searching from 4 angles, Kim spotted them and managed to get them with a long stick. It was quite the adventure.
Tonight's quote of the night comes from this adventure.
"Go ahead Kim! In Narnia the water was probably dirty too!"

Pride and Prejudice

Quote of the Day:

I love Pride and Prejudice and as it was on today here's your quote:

"As it is I wouldn't dance with him for all of Darbyshire, let alone the miserable half."

One of my friends had the following quote as her status today. I thought it was funny so I thought I'd share...


 "God made Saturn. He liked it so He put a ring on it." 

Funny but a little sad

I just thought I'd share a quick story. Monday I as at Barnes and Noble. A guy and girl who looked like they were in high school walked up to the Twilight table and picked a book. The guy looked up at the girl and said, "Wuthering Heights, isn't this the last book in the Twilight series." I know what your thinking. He did NOT just ask that! He did. However, the girl clarified for him. She said, "No, the last Twilight book is Breaking Dawn. Wuthering Heights is one of those old books, it's like a classic or something." What is the world coming to???

Although this is a little sad and a little funny, they aren't entirely at fault. They should know that Wuthering Heights is in fact classic literature and the author's name on it was Emily Bronte instead of Stephanie Meyer. However, it was on the Twilight table and someone has decided to capitalize on the success of Twilight. For those who haven't ever seen a Twilight book, here are the covers of each book in the series:

and here is how someone has decided to resale Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet:

Now if you know me, you know I like Twilight as much as the next person, but Pride and Prejudice doesn't need Twilight. It can stand on it's own two feet, thank you.
