1. Gee whiz, what else is new?  My mind is in the gutter.  Monday night during Management class, we were discussing leadership and what the differences in biological sex and genders were.  I sit by a great lady, A, (I know her from my Accounting classes) who has a sense of humor much like my own.   Lucky for us, Dr. O. is hard of hearing; he normally has both hearing aids in, but he has an infection in his right ear so he didn't hear a lot.  He instructed us to turn to page, *mumble, mumble* "69" and kept talking.  A and I looked at page 69 and it wasn't the chapter we were supposed to be in.  We asked each other, "Did he say page 69?  I know he said 69!"  The guy in front of us turned around and told us to turn to page 95.  OK... but what about 69?  Then we saw there was a study done in 1969.  Aha.  We giggled.  As we discussed the chapter, we found all sorts of names that we wondered if they did these studies on biological sex and gender because of their last names.  Here are a few that we giggled about:  Sack, Chertkoff (I'd hate to misprounounce that!), Long, Dedrick, Clemons, Tipton, Hornaday (I kid you not!!), and Hunt (was his first name Mike?  Inquiring minds want to know! But the reference did not say). 

2. Have you tried Lindt Lindor White Chocolate truffles?  Gee whiz, it's completely orgasmic for my mouth.  

3. I taught a chapter in my Language class Monday night.  I didn't stress over it; I had some purdy slides, my classmates are fun and cool and my teacher is a sweetheart (she was also my English and Art teacher).  True to form, I got tongue-tied a couple of times during the presentation but I actually did better when they asked me questions and I answered them.  The tongue twists were clean, thank heavens; unlike high school saying, "rubbers" instead of "robbers."  Gee whiz, that was embarrassing.

The chapter was on the stages of language development in a child which is something that I am interested in because of my niece, E.  Gross-motor skill and language development are on the same time table and since E has gross-motor skill developmental delays, she can't say too many words.  The special pre-school she attends has taught her some sign language to help her communicate.  I can see the correlation of the two; perhaps even dependent on each other and it interests me.  I'm thinking of writing my final paper on the developmental processes and what is done to correct it. 

E is in the photo below, for Wordless Wednesday; it fits since she doesn't use many words to communicate.  She had so much fun playing in the grass and was in her own little world. 

4.  I'm rambling... a clear sign that I am tired!  Gee whiz - I need sleep!

5. This morning is Mom's eye surgery (Vitrectomy) and I think we're set; we have to leave at 6am which is lovely when I didn't get home until 10:30 last night, but she's the first one on the schedule.  The doctor is confident she will get along great, as long as she keeps her face down.  Gee whiz, these next two to four weeks are going to be fun...

Have a wonderful weekend!
