Demotivators

You know those motivational posters? The ones with the inspirational sayings? Well, I discovered this website while reading another of my favorite sites. You may have to have a twisted sense of humor, but I find these posters much more entertaining than the ones that are meant to be taken seriously. Here are a few of my favorites.

"Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction."

"When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor."

"If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly."

"It's over, man. Let her go."


There's many more of these Demotivators at http://www.despair.com/viewall.html. Enjoy!

End of October Fun

For UEA weekend we went to Lagoon. The kids had a good time and everyone (except for Rachel and I) rode all the fun "scary" rides. Even Camille braved the big roller coasters. Rachel said that she wanted to go on "Wicked"--a ride that shoots you straight up, sends you straight down, and loops you upside down--but after riding the old, white roller coaster she decided that was enough of an adrenalin rush for her and forgot about the whole "Wicked" idea. Everyone else rode it many times.

Krysta and Kevin rode the Skycoaster--a bungee like drop from 150 feet. Here they are getting ready. They loved it! A few weeks later, Rachel had a field trip to Thanksgiving Point where she got to pet lots of horses. I think the teachers were brave to schedule an outdoor fieldtrip at the end of October, but the weather was beautiful.

Finally, we come to Trick-or-Treating! We have only two official trick-or-treaters left. The others waver between thinking they are too old (which they are) and going out to snag a few pieces of free candy just for old times sake.

Here is Rachie Roo....

...and Millie Moo. Happy Halloween!
