I could use this time to discuss important goings on in my life and events that have transpired in the last few weeks, in Polk County alone. But instead I will use this time to discuss The Golden Globes and my disdain for Tom Brady. The Golden Globes press conference was presented by Jello. JELLO! This is the only time I've been mad about the ( Read more... )

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace,good will toward men.

I hate having a cold. And it's not just one of those annoying runny nose, take a few pills and I'll be fine type colds. This is an all-out sore throat, congestion, dizzy, headache, coughing pain in the butt type cold. I called in to work last night I felt so bad. I can't tell you the last time I called in to work. I would rather have the ( Read more... )

I have been pretty productive this morning. I did laundry, put away the dishes, made Halloween cookies, and straightened up a little around the house. So by noon, I was done and decided to watch some television. I was flipping through and landed on the Food Network. I caught the end of the Barefoot Contessa. Ina was just plating her meal, ( Read more... )

I forgot that Michigan and Illinois were playing a primetime game tonight. So I turn on the tv, and it's a tied game, the start of the the 4th quarter. I love a 4th quarter, and I think it's the only one worth watching. Especially because if there are a lot of good plays that happen in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters, you can always see it on ( Read more... )

1. USC getting beat by Standford is amazing. I'll support any team that beats USC ( Read more... )

This is my favorite time of year, hands down. Fall will arrive in a few days, and with it will bring cooler weather and that crisp difference in the air that you can even notice in Florida. I love that there is a ridiculous amount of college football on every Saturday, and I can watch as much or as little as I please. I love the holidays and ( Read more... )

I haven't written in a while. So where to start? I guess bad news first. My uncle died last Sunday. He's had Parkinson's for 11 years, and he started getting a lot of secondary illnesses that put him in and out of the hospital a lot the last few months. I guess this final bout of pneumonia was all he could take. He left behind my aunt, a ( Read more... )

It's been almost a week since I finished Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows and while I LOVE everything about book 7, I feel like I need a little more. What happened to the rest of The Weasley's? Who's the new Minister of Magic? And for that matter, who's the new Headmaster at Hogwarts? What about Hagrid and McGonagall? Did Luna and Dean run ( Read more... )

I have a lecture to go to at 2pm. I need to shower and get ready, but here I am, typing away in my journal. Of course it doesn't take me that long to get ready, so it's really no big deal. I had planned on being up around 8:30am to work on this portfolio I have to make for this seminar I've been going to at work but I totally woke up at 11am! ( Read more... )
