This was the longest weekend ever. It felt like every family in the tri-state area that didn’t have school today was in the area this weekend. I’m happy that our store was very busy and all, but the tired and cranky part of me would like everyone to get off my lawn.
I’m sick at home. Flu. Yay!
I’ve got the day off for the first time since high school. I was an idiot and scheduled a dentist appointment at 8AM though. Oh well! But my clean teeth and I took a drive to a pizza place that is out-of-the-way for me, but that is delicious.
My favorite president is Carter.
Teddy Roosevelt, obviously. Any man who partied with John Muir gets the thumbs up from me. Also, he tried to turn the Republican party into a progressive party.
Teddy Roosevelt was an extreme BAMF and also awesome.
And I can’t find the awesome Teddy Roosevelt gif!!!
In honor of both Presidents’ Day and the fact that I’m a giant nerd:
Three word presidencies

This is a thing of beauty. You are a nerd after my own heart.
You are the best.
Technically I don’t have the day off, but the lecturer for today is a really nice guy but his lectures are just him reading his slides, which are super repetitive and redundant. So I took today off and am spending it watching bad Rom-Coms and studying.
