"Isn't it funny how everything is interesting when you have something you don't want to do...even lint." -Jamese

I think fat Tuesday is not about Mardi Gras, it is not about pancakes, I say fat Tuesday is about procrastination. Here in Egypt, not many people recognize that tomorrow begins the Christian religious season, but on a campus full of students, we are to the point in the year when homework is the plague. Jamese in her procrastination loves to Google anything and everything, including pocket lent. I'm sure a couple of you are still thinking, sure this is natural, but it has nothing to do with fat Tuesday...that is still about pancakes. I'm here to let you know that I even caught my mother procrastinating today...and I thought I got that trait from my father.

So today I saw an oasis, a hint of green in the desert of Egypt. No, it wasn't a tree. No it wasn't even a desert bush. It was a John Deere sweatshirt...lol. In Crawford County, this is expected. At Duke, it is rare, but not crazy. In Egypt, I seriously did a double take. But there it was, bright green and yellow. The best part was, it was a HUGE sweatshirt on a tiny little girl. Now I'm sure it would be small on Justin, but it could have fit 2 of this girl in it easily. I just found that amusing, so I hope you enjoy it as well.

I'm tired, so I am going to make this short today, but I hope Tuesday for all of you is enjoyable.

See your putting thing off is not all my fault. Truth be known you get most of your traits from your mother. Your looks from me but the other stuff from her.

Shhhh...Don't tattle on your mother. Father Rod tends to read into things that aren't true.

To Father Rod:

I have seen you two sitting next to each other across the table. She definitely got her personality traits from you. It's quite scary actually. Her looks, not so sure on that one.
