Cashmere's post about the Great Refried Bean Shortage is making me crave a crappy 39-cent frozen burrito. Hmmm. I could go to the grocery store....

vw, I used to be a college advisor. If you wanna e-me the courses you've taking, and what your degree goal/major is, I'd be happy to make some reqs. (Realizing, of course, I know nothing of prof reps at your uni, so...)

Oh, thanks Erin. I'll figure it out tomorrow. I just feel so out of control right now...I'm just not sure what steps to take.

Laura, in recent prom-ish sort of pictures, I've seen some of the young women with two or three long stem flowers (usually roses, but not always), gathered with a pretty ribbon. I'm not sure corsages are the thing. Maybe you could ask at a florist either near the school or the dance--see if they're getting orders for the dance, and if so, what people are ordering? Just a thought.

-t and I bought a present for Emma that made us both laugh like loons.

What is, what is???

I found her a t-shirt that says, "Mommy needs her meds!" with a picture of a harried looking mom. I laughed so hard.

Laura, here are some examples of what I was trying to describe:

I'd still try to find out from a florist or other parents, though. These things vary from school to school. I know for my prom, we all got nosegays, while at my friend's prom a town away, everyone had wrist corsages.

Watching Funniest Videos and there was a husband and wife in one of the clips that were hilarious. The wife would constantly lock her hubs out of the house or the car until he danced (cabbage patch and running man were popular with her) for her while she had the handheld camera running.

I would so totally do that.

PICTURES!

It's overwhelming, vw. Start with what you need to have as far as core classes. Then cores for your major. Always try to include one class you are geuninely intrigued by some aspect of. And have you ever gone to RAteMyProfessor.com? Some entries are BS, but sometimes you can get an idea about what professors are loved and excellent...and the ones who are to be avoided, for whatever reasons.

If you feel better tomorrow, seriously e-me, and I will help you brainstorm.

What is, what is???

That would be telling.
