I like the 2 rednecks at the end.

I think I passed their pickup at the Alabama Welcome Center on the interstate this morning. ;)

I'm sorry this is so, um, epic of a post, but there's so much important stuff to tell.  The rest of the trip updates will be shorter, but this is the most important thing to me out of all of it (and it certainly set the tone for the whole rest of the trip.)

So on the night of Aug 8th, after work, Jason and I hit the road together at about 9:30/10: ( Read more... )

www.teapartay.com (I laugh at the East Coasties, but [not-so-]secretly, I've always wanted to be this preppy.  Seriously.  Maybe that accounts for ht ematching golf outfits; perhaps it was subconscious...?  Biff, get me a bloody mary, wouldja'?)

Hmm, let's see:

On the ride home last Monday, I read 2 issues of Cosmo and finally, FINALLY, The Reluctant Fundamentalist.  It was just as good as I'd heard it would be.  Jason made a good point that I should read it while I physically had it in my hand, right there in the car, before I go and misplace it again.  Glad I did.

Also, last night, I ( Read more... )

Paige.  LOVE this girl.  So sweet.  Met her a bunch of times.  She's dating Jason's best friend from OCS back in 2000, Dave.

Jason and Dave met in OCS.  Both are from Pensacola.  Jason's 36; Dave's my age.  Both are Captains in the Marine Corps.  I think they were roommates in TBS (the 6 month training school that follows OCS).  Both came to ( Read more... )

You can tell by the title that I love New York magazine.  Or is it the New Yorker?  I don't know; I subscribe to both, I read both, I like both, but I can never remember which is which.  I'm so blonde sometimes.

Like this morning, when I was gchatting with my friend Suzanne (who you met, Kara, on Saturday night).  I told her I'd just noticed that I' ( Read more... )

I'm just amused at the numerous comedic uses of the word "balls" in this article.

Maybe my mind's just in the gutter.   :)

First, the cell phone that I have for work -- which cost $850, mind you -- broke, after a year almost to the day since I (they) bought it.  I can't get it to stay on, and the battery won't seem to charge; it doesn't even recognize that it's plugged in, and yesterday, before it died for good, it thought it was plugged in, even when it wasn't.  I don ( Read more... )

The first thing to go, within hours of posting on Craigslist, was Dad's accordion!!!  LMAO!!!

Because my parents are more intimidated by the internet than by, say, The Bloods, they refused to post an ad on craigslist (even the word "free" didn't get them!).  So, I did it for them this morning.

They're selling all sortsa stuff: a bedroom set, air conditioners, a 'fridge, parakeets, an accordion (not kidding), a breakfront, pictures... TONS of ( Read more... )
