Another semester down. Two semesters to go. Three semesters of straight A's! 

There are some things I can't stand. One of them being those people who think that just because I don't have a penis means that I can't play soccer ( Read more... )

For my first birthday, my aunt and uncle gave me one share of Walt Disney stock. Over the last 25 (almost 26) years, that one share has increased to 108 shares. I just sold my shares of stock to contribute to a house down payment. It feels weird not to have them anymore, but they are going to a good cause.

Yesterday evening the hubs and I met with a mortgage broker. We are being pre-approved for a home loan as I type.

EDIT: We got approved!

I am considering applying to become a state park ranger. As a California state park ranger, I would, among other things, be a peace officer. If Nick gets accepted to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Academy, we would be a couple of lethal enforcers. Don't fuck with us.

I have seen Daniel Day Lewis in two movies. In both of them he played rich, powerful, psychpath killers with slick hair and an American accent. The man scares me. I am afraid he is going to come to my house and beat me with a bowling pin.

There are some things about living in California that I don't understand. For instance, when people wear sweatshirts, jeans and flip flops on a cold winter day. Don't the flip flops reverse the warmth provided by the sweatshirt? It makes no sense!

In no particular order. . .

1. White Christmas: My all-time favorite Christmas movie. After you watch this movie, you will want to sing and dance like them. I always do.

2. Help!: The Beatles, London, the Bahamas and a ring: what more could a girl ask for in a movie?

3. Mulan: A girl saves China from invasion. The world is as it should be.

4. Toy Story ( Read more... )
