The Dirty Thirty

30 is:
  • The atomic number of zinc
  • The number of days in the months April, June, September and November
  • The minimum age for United States senators
  • The code for international phone calls to Greece
  • slang for pornography (XXX)
  • The number of pieces of silver Judas betrayed Jesus for (Matthew 26:15)
  • The number of beers in a dirty thirty pack of Keystone Light Beer
30 is the number of pounds removed from my body (as of today)! BAM!!
Today I weighed in...-1.8 lbs. So, NO eviction notice for me today from ONEderland. So I called the guy I frequently go to the movies and eat out with to tell him of my glorious news, and during our conversation I said the funniest thing (well it was funny too me):

Guy I Frequently Go Out With (GIFGOW): Oh, so you're up now (I called him around 6AM this morning as I laid down to go to sleep. Yes, I went to bed at or around 6 AM this morn....that's a whole "nother" story.)

Me: Yes. You know I weigh in on Saturdays, so I had to get up to weigh in before 12 PM.

GIFGOW: *Silence*
Me: *Silence*

Me: *Silence*

Me: (Waiting for him to ask how much I lost..) *Extended Silence and crickets chirping in the distance*

Me: *Sarcastically* YEAH! I LOST WEIGHT THANKS FOR ASKING!

GIGFOW: I was going to ask...(I cut him off.)

Me: WHEN???!!! Whatever man...I NEED A cheerLEADER not a cheerHATER! (That was the funny thing I said).

That conversation reminded me of my haters post from a few weeks ago, which brings me to my point. I am doing THIS for ME and his approval is not needed nor required!! Man, he is so on the "kick-yo-azz-to-da-curb list" and he doesn't even know it! Bye bye Hater...see you later.


So, back to the whole going to sleep at 6 AM. Well I can show you better than I can tell you:
The right side of the table:

The bane of my existence: "The Research Proposal"

The left side of the table:
After I take the final exam today or sometime tomorrow...FINITO BABY!
ARRIVEDERCI, 再見, AU REVOIR, היי שלום , ADIÓS, ДО СВИДАНИЯ, さようなら, GOODBYE STATISTICS FOREVER (or until I start working on my PH.D...???)!

t(26)=1.42, p>.05, d=.19


What can you tell me about the post title? Well....EXACTLY! That's what I said! I started summer school today and the teacher wrote t(26)=1.42, p>.05, d=.19 on the board. WELCOME TO RESEARCH DESIGN & ANALYSIS (the 2nd half to the statistics class I took last Summer)! Holy dog doo doo Batman...what did I get my self into? When class ended, I walked to my car and sat in the seat staring straight ahead for an insurmountable amount of time.

Silver lining...I came home and worked through my statistics frustrations with Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred. My kids heard me grunting and walked in to find me lying face down on the floor. O...well...I'm off to read chapter 1.
