Beeeeeeeach! Hunting Island was fabulous and relaxing. I read many many books, got slightly burned, and managed to acquire a nice tan too. The water was fantastically warm, I did not get stung by any jelly fish, and I saw a real live sting ray, which was pretty cool. I also got lots of wonderful sleep. =) Pictures are up on facebook ( Read more... )

I would like to take a moment to rave about my great phone experience with Tivo Customer Service. I called them because I went online to manage my account and switch it over to my new credit card, so I can close the old one. I had never logged in online before, but when I did, my Tivo was not listed under my account. So I couldn't change anything. ( Read more... )

So yesterday when I woke up, I went to say hello to my guinea pigs (a common morning ritual for me). I noticed, however, that Red was sitting in a corner of the cage and squeaking as he breathed, which was not normal behavior for him. I also thought his sides were heaving. I called the vet, worried that he was really sick, and they told me they ( Read more... )

So I have to register for at least 12 credits at Nova this fall in order to stay on my mom's health insurance, which really blows. I keep trying to find a way where I won't have to commute as much and coming up short. I did find a culinary class that I really want to take, which is good. Now the question becomes, take two languages and fill up my ( Read more... )

So my dad has just realized in the past 48 hours that I know a lot about iPods and iTunes (relatively speaking). Now he's been bugging me constantly to help him figure out his questions - to the point where he interrupted me while I was cooking my dinner and expected me to leave my pasta boiling unattended. He is ridiculous ( Read more... )

...my car was broken into and my iPod stolen. I was parked in the turn-around at my house (for those of you who haven't been there, my house is set way back from the road and tends to be difficult to find) and when I walked outside around 4pm to go run errands, I noticed from afar that someone had put my driver's seat forward - as if to get into ( Read more... )

It's true that there is absolutely nothing to do in Independence, Missouri except drink. I have been at this conference since Thursday and am pretty bored. I wish I hadn't come. It's not that the workshops aren't interesting, but as I'm not actually on a Section or Region staff, they don't apply too much to me. I did have fun at the Marketing ( Read more... )

Well it doesn't really feel right to post about this until I know the final outcome, but I thought I would mention that my interview seemed to go really well today. The woman, Julie, who is the boss of the team I'd be a part of, was very nice and we chatted for about half an hour. I think she liked me, and she said a lot of stuff that seemed to ( Read more... )

I'm just announcing that I've finished. No worries. I'm holding my peace. =)

So there is some news to report (and let's face it, even if there weren't, I'm stuck in my super boring class for another 2 1/2 hours, so I have nothing better to do). First off, I saw Mike Dollar on Monday night and spent an enjoyable few hours catching up and allowing him and Victor to coach me on playing pool. I think I got better in the three ( Read more... )
