Perfect Sunday plans. Some lovely friends have invited me over for brunch and I've already gotten a good run in and am ready for some excellent food. I may not boast the culinary accomplishments said friends consistently deliver, but I am bringing over a bottle of White Star. 

To those of you who volunteered to take the online survey, things are moving along and I should have that coming up! In the meantime, we have another survey for the same class if anyone would care to answer that today. Maybe you're feeling a bit inspired after the debate! This one is composed of ten open-ended questions.  Email seadive01@hotmail. ( Read more... )

Yesterday Justin and I went to the big air show they have here. He's been wanting to go since we moved, and on every one of the three years we've been here, something else has come up that weekend. So off we went to fulfill his long-awaited wish. OMG.  Hundreds of people, scorching sun, nothing in tap or bottle but Bud, painfully loud (even with ( Read more... )

You've probably already been by now, but we tried The Linkery at the new location this evening. That one is going on the short list!

Oh man, it is hot today! Luckily I only have classes today, so I can kick it in my student casual instead of sweating it up in my business lady clothes like yesterday ( Read more... )

I've been doing just short 3-milers 3x/week to keep my sanity with everything going on lately, so I am far from ready for it. I didn't follow up on plans with the friends I went with last year, and ( Read more... )

Justin went back to work on Wednesday. I have class in the morning and work in the afternoon that day, so a half day worked well to start off.  We arrived just as people were returning from lunch, and he got sort of a mini hero's welcome when we ran into six of his work peeps in the lobby. They all walked him to their floor together. Very cool, and ( Read more... )

OMG, you guys are effing AWESOME! I can't believe all the emails I got, many with hilarious commentary to boot ( Read more... )

I've been following the media stories surrounding InBev's buyout of Anheuser-Busch and among them was an interview held in a bar full of depressed Budweiser drinkers. People interviewed were just beside themselves about their beer being owned and operated by furriners and how it just wasn't the same. When asked about Molson's acquisition of Coors, ( Read more... )
