Count down to the wedding!!


Only 9 more days until the wedding!
Everything is going pretty smoothly except me being stressed out that everything will not either look good, be nice, and all come together the way I want it. I am trying to be sweet and not be angry but sometime I just can't (especially when it come to wedding Stuff). Anyways things really are going good. Daniel is being such a big help and is being so sweet and nice to me a this time were I am not so sweet and nice. I am ready to be done with all of this but when it is over will miss it ( I think).


Just a little shout out to my ever ready mother...You are wonderful and thank you so much for everything because I would not be having a wedding without her.

I am so excited for everyone to get here next week and to see everyone. I just hate waiting.....

On a side note: I need to get rid of these stupid pimples from being so stress out. I have already been doing everything i could possibly think but please let me know if you know a miracle to getting rid of them FAST!!!

Things I Think You Should Know: Zombie Cat

So, everyone knows about Schrodinger's Cat, right? I understand that that's common knowledge among you non-physical-sciences types.

You know, there's a cat in a sealed box with a flask of poisonous gas. The flask has a certain probability of breaking (the key to Schrodinger's argument is that the mechanism which (non-restrictive, I know (abrasive use of parentheses, I know)) determines the breaking of the glass must be governed by some process known to obey quantum mechanics), and according to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics the flask exists in a probabilistic superposition of both brokenness and un-brokenness. Ergo, the cat exists as both dead and alive at the same time - until you open the box, anyway. If you don't like my explanation, Sheldon does a fantastic job:

This hypothetical experiment is now universally used on non-physicists to introduce some of the conceptual ideas surrounding quantum mechanics. I would bet that if I walked outside and asked non-physicists (they're everywhere) what comes to mind when they think about quantum mechanics, at least half of them would mention Schrodinger's cat. This way of thinking about quantum mechanics - that things exist simultaneously as multiple possibilities until they are examined - is usually known as the Copenhagen interpretation (or at least a part thereof) of quantum mechanics, but from hearing about Schrodinger's cat so much, you would think that it was his idea.

This brings me to the purpose of this post. This is what I want you know: when Schrodinger wrote about this cat, he was trying to say that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics - the very thing with which most people nowadays associate Mr. Schrodinger - was stupid. He thought it was absurd to think that a cat could be both dead and alive at the same time and that his example discredited the Copenhagen interpretation (Comp II told me that this is called reductio ad absurdum).

Packing....


Packing is something people my age do at least 100 times one year ( just a little exaggeration). So once again i begin to pack my life into boxes. It is crazy to think that the things you treasure most in your life can fit into cardboard boxes. I began to pack a couple of days ago but really began to dig into all Daniel's and my (lets just face it ) junk.
I set down and open a box then: put a movie in, cooked super, thought about how much a wanted some chocolate, opened another box to put stuff in, went to the store to get chocolate, talked to Brooke on the phone, and started blogging. Packing is so HARD!! I just wish a had money so I could pay someone to pack for me.

Daniel and just being sweet!

So Daniel is a typical boy but also has the most sweetest side to him. I just love him so much. The reason for the sweetness last night was because i am so stressed about the wedding, to the point I don't want to even hear the word, so Daniel I guessed notice this and did a really special thing for me last night. I got home from work and he was all dress up (which is a big deal for Daniel) and took me out to eat. This may not sound like that big of deal but it was! I needed a night with no wedding stuff, i just need time with my future husband to relax and not think about the stressful things in our lives. Daniel probably does not know how much it meant to me but it was very special to me.
On a lighter note we also went to movie gallery because it is going out of business and got 10 new DVD's for 10 dollars. We are so excited becasue we got 10 new DVD's that we wanted to see for less than it cost to go to one movie. YAY for cheap DVD's!!!
