Three Day Weekends!

Happy three day weekend to you and yours. It is 10:29 a.m., and I am flitting between chores and homework and loading my i-Pod. I went and got a buttload of CDs from the library yesterday and am now listening to Le Savy Fav to see if I like them....the jury is still out but I think I might.

I have come down with a mild version of the Plague in honor of my 3-day weekend, so I am sequestered indoors in my flannel pj's, surrounded by various types of beverages; tea, water, sparkling water, grapefruit juice, and soup, which isn't technically a beverage but since I'm not really inclined to eat solid food for some reason (which is really weird if you ask me), I'm drinking tomato soup and chicken broth like there's no tomorrow. The best part though, is my Vick's impregnated Puffs. It's seriously like nose porn!!! Soooooo good. I'm glad I got myself a box.

Kim-Chee took me out shopping yesterday to Sam's Club and the Cash and Carry to buy heavy things in bulk. I learned on my trip to Sam's club that baking soda comes in twelve pound frickin bags!!!! TWELVE POUNDS!!! Isn't that fabulous? Now I don't have to keep buying those little boxes and running out all the time. I'm just pleased as punch.

Anyway the trip was a success, I was able to renew my membership, get some veggies, broth and tomatoes, and some other things that I've been wanting for quite awhile AND I stuck within $5 of my alotted budget, which made me proud. I'm reminded that I need to slice up a cucumber for snacking on today. Oh and make more soup. ACHOO!!!!

So today I am working on definite integrals. They're a LITTLE confusing in spots, but for the most part, pretty manageable. This is what I'm figuring out right now. It's just a matter of making sure you integrate and then put everything in the right spot. So I ask; what's all the fuss about?

If f is a continuous real-valued function defined on a closed interval [a, b], then, once an antiderivative F of f is known, the definite integral of f over that interval is given by

And with that, I really must get back to it. Song 2 on the Le Savy Fav CD was frighteningly raucous, but this 3rd track is more my speed.
