1. May Pampered Chef Show - a portion of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society

2. Our summer conference schedule is so easy this year. I think it's going to be a pretty smooth summer. All of our high-maintenance adults got shipped to another hall. Excellent. I reserve the right to eat these words later.

3. I feel the need for something bad for me for lunch. Of course, I've been feeling the need for something bad for me a lot lately. Eh, I'll cook this weekend. For now - crap food!

4. I'm re-reading Harry Potter. I am reminded of why I wasn't in a crazy hurry to read the last one when it came out. I'm in the fourth book. Yesterday, Adam misread it and called it Harry Potter and the Giblet of Fire. We got jokes out of that all afternoon. The jokes were more entertaining than the book has been.

5. I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I have plans for breakfast with Natalie on Saturday...and that's it.

6. I've just gotten an email about plans to remove a bee colony from one of the buildings on campus. It's shutting a whole section of campus down during the process so that they can safely capture the bees and move them. The bees have lived on campus for 18 years, but they're being moved to a local beekeeper because they've been showing signs of aggression. This makes me a little sad. It also makes me less scared to visit that side of campus once the terrorist bees are gone (dive-bombing bees and allergies make for a bad morning).

7. Annoying phrase of the day - "One bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch." While I agree with the sentiment behind this cliche, the statement itself? Not true at all. Fruit rot spreads and spreads quickly, fella. One bad apple will take down the whole barrel.

Huh? I know the phrase exactly the other way round. As you said. That one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Weird.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that the person saying it was just getting it wrong. It was also annoying that he was saying it to get a girl on the crew to go out with him, after she had already told him no and told him that she was "done with guys for a while because they're all jerks." Note to him - not listening when she says no proves her point.

I am glad that are making the effort to move the colony instead of just wiping it out--there have been too many bee losses the last few years!

[coffeesnob.livejournal.com]

Me, too. Now some of them have moved to our building. In a column right outside our front door. So the bee people will be coming here, too. Excellent.

Gee, how nice of the attack bees to come try to make your building their new home :p

Yeah. You can imagine my excitement. We're hoping that we're just a pit stop for where they're actually headed. We'll see. This week should be enlightening.
