Fiber Bubble: Forty Shades of Green

Forty Shades of Green

I think I forgot how busy this time of year is on campus. I don't have time for the BUBBLE - how sad. I did take time to watch my favorite video short Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. I don't know why but I laugh out loud every time I watch it. Bad day at work so a revisit of Marcel was just what I needed.

In the spirit o' the green of this week's St. Patrick's Day I thought I'd MAKE myself find enough energy to post this. I don't have a lot of cards that I make that I think to myself...'oh I REALLY like that!' But this one I do REALLY like it.

Get Your Green On

No. I want a baseball team. Me: Would you consider 9 babies over - say - the course of 3-4 years? Alum: (furrowed brow/hesitation) I suppose I could deal with that. Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?
