I Wish I Were An Oscar Meyer Wiener....!

Carissa's Challenge of the Day
Can you rewrite the Oscar Meyer Wiener song to fit you? Try it out! Post your new song in the comments section. Extra points for making it rhyme and use the correct amount of syllables. By the way, I came up with this idea all on my own!

I wish I were a (an) __________ 6 syllables
That is what I'd really like to be
Cause if I were a (an) _________ (same as above)
Everyone __________________ 6 syllables

Here's mine
I wish I were a woman with a great maid
That is what I'd really like to be
Cause if I were a woman with a great maid
Everyone could have clean laun-der-y!

I haven't done laundry in a while! Instead, I have been studying, blogging, helping Preston with homework, helping my mom with miscellaneous projects...the list goes on and on. And now, so does the laundry. There is a heap the size of Mount Saint Helens in my bathroom and that doesn't include the stinky pile in Preston's room. (I used Mount Saint Helens for my analogy because I thought the exploding, erupting actions of a volcano would most accurately describe my laundry hamper. The clothes have managed to travel well into the bathroom from the closet.) I know that some of you have been worried about this, so I will make this disclaimer. We have not yet re worn underwear! Let your mind be at peace.

I had a quiz in my history class today. I think I did well and if "Dr. T" would hurry up and put them on Blackboard, I would be able to report my grade to you. You have all, I am sure, heard of "blog stalkers", well I am a Blackboard stalker. I am that nerdy kid who can't wait to see how she has done on her quiz/paper and constantly stalks the internet grade posts to find out so that she can brag to her husband who insisted that "Dr. T" would never give out a 10. (I have 10's on all of my papers thus far.) I am taking History 18, for those of you who don't already know, and it covers the people of the United States from 1865 to the present. I find the professor very entertaining and extremely random at times, but as Tim and I have agreed, the crazy ones are always the best.

Did you know that President Theodore Roosevelt was quite a character? Here is a short list of the crazy things he did.
-Killed a mountain lion with a knife while he was Vice President because his dogs were going to get hurt
-Enjoyed hiking and sometimes would do it naked
-Liked to stick fight and when they broke too many sticks, they would get bigger ones and break bones instead
-Volunteered for service in WWI as an old man because he wanted to die by being shot by a machine gun
-commanded a volunteer army in the Spanish American War (He and all his Harvard buds bought uniforms at Abercrombie and Fitch and went to Cuba to fight)
Oh, the things you learn in History 18! Now you are a better, more rounded person, because you know these things too!

Alright, that should satisfy my need to gab today. I can't wait to hear your Oscar Meyer Wiener songs!
