The (Not-So) Ordinary Life and Times...

Birthday weekend #1

Heading to Kansas City this weekend for some birthday shopping. Excited! OH. And super excited for dinner at McCormick and Schmick's. Seafood....mmmm....Happy Halloween! I'll put pictures of Marley up in his costume later :) He wasn't very happy with me.

Really, Associated Press?

I can't believe how poor grammar has become in the media. This Sophia Tareen woman ACTUALLY BEGAN HER STORY with the word 'busted.' Disgusting.

$1.97 Gas today

I'm tempted to fill up now...but who knows how low it will go!? I'm driving home this weekend to spend my birthday weekend in Kansas City...I'll fill up before I go home.

Fun! How do I make it show up in my profile?

Gas under $2.00!!

I was driving to work this morning and saw that the Casey's station near my house had (gasp!) $1.99/gallon gas!! I couldn't believe it. I'd better fill up before it goes up again.

Good news!

Dan has anxiously been waiting for news from any of the grad schools he applied to. After a few rejection letters, he heard today that he has an interview at Creighton University in Omaha! I think he's glad to hear any news that isn't "No." He won't interview until January, but at lest we can enjoy our New Year's celebration in Mexico!!

Background...again

Ok so puppy love was cute....for like a day. All the tiny little hearts were getting to me. And this one is perfect. P-E-R-F-E-C-T. 

Struggle

I'm seriously struggling with who to vote for this year. I simply don't know what to do. I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to write in a third party candidate, but then I feel like my vote is wasted. Sarah Palin annoys the hell out of me, but she is pro-life. McCain is pro-life. I wouldn't say Obama, who supports Roe v. Wade, is pro-life, but he's definitely anti-abortion. Biden, a fellow Catholic, hasn't done much to support life in his political career. I just don't know if voting on a pro-life basis will do any good. I want to support a candidate who supports life, but who also knows how to fix our economy, NOT socialize our healthcare, and end the war in Iraq. Seriously confused. 

Puppy love

I just changed my background to "puppy love." How cute is this!? I had to....I'm in love!!! I mean, come on. How can you not love this little man!?

You Can't Go Wrong....

...with Ella Fitzgerald. I just started listening to her on Last.fm. She's helping me through a mundane Monday.
