Look What the Postman Brought

My husband is officially a t.u. graduate with the sticker for his car to prove it. We would have burned it in the wild prairie fires that were only a few miles from our house today, but they were extinguished before we had the chance. (Thankfully, of course!) He finally got his diploma as well, so now we have to figure out how and where to hang it. Feel free to leave me some suggestions.

Rest assured, Aggie friends and family. This sticker will not be making a debut on any car of ours.

And this is off the subject, but is anyone excited about the LOST premiere on Thursday, besides us?

What'cha Gonna Do About It?

Go here to read about the fact that the NKOTB are bringing it back. Exactly what they are bringing back...well, who knows.

And just in case anyone is wondering, while everyone else was jumping on their bandwagon, I was staying true to Debbie Gibson.

This photo is just painful.

Get Well Soon

My brother is very sick today, so this is to let him know I am thinking about him. I am afraid maybe he tried to limit himself to only 5 Dr. Peppers a day due to some crazy New Year's resolution, and now it's totally thrown off his equilibrium. Or maybe he just has the black plague.

My prescription is watch the entire Flight of the Conchords, drink lots of DP, and get well soon, Drew! Love you!

You Decide 2008

I thought this was interesting so wanted to pass it along. You can go here to take a short quiz telling you which Presidential candidates your values align most with. You give your opinion on the issue, and rank the issue according to its importance to you.

My results showed Duncan Hunter, with Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee coming in 2nd and 3rd, respectively. I thought it was interesting that Fred Thompson came in second but was not surprised that Hunter was my top candidate.

If you take the quiz, feel free to post your results in the comments. No stone will be cast here!

Another Day at the Office

Oh, how I love Friday, the gatekeeper to the weekend!

We had brunch today at work, and I made a quick and easy casserole that was completely eaten by the end of round 1. (Round 2 is when one by one we graze over the food for the rest of the day, with a crowd gathering at lunch, of course.) Brunch foods here range from cheesecake to breakfast casseroles, to a Teammate's specialty queso, so I am done with eating today. We played pictionary that another Teammate and I made up specially themed for our office. Good times!

Around 11 someone came by and mentioned that a few of the Texas Rangers were signing autographs upstairs in our cafeteria. So of course I ran upstairs to meet them! I got autos from pitchers Wes Littleton and CJ Wilson, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia (who, by the way, has the longest last name in the league), and Eric Nadel, the voice of the Texas Rangers. How random is that?

So I Was Thinking...

First, I must preface this post by stating that I am going to ramble all the way to nowhere.

It's been a busy week. The New Year's commitments we made to "be healthier" on top of working a job that is more than 40 hours a week these days are keeping me hopping. We finally got the Christmas tree down last weekend. As much as I love celebrating the birth of our Savior, it kinda felt like I was dumping the last of the leftover cookies or candy in the trash saying, "no, I will not eat another bite." Does that make any sense?

The weather is about to get cold. This makes me not want to go anywhere. Not to the rec, not to work, and not even to the mall. We have yet to burn a fire in our fireplace, most likely because we've been too lazy to acquire any firewood. Hopefully that will change soon though. But most of all, I hope it doesn't get too cold because I need to be in Canton in a couple of weekends!

And Ladies, mark your calendars (or set your DVR)! PBS is running Jane Austen movies through the end of March. We've missed Persuasion, but we're in time to see Northanger Abbey on Sunday. Go here to download the schedule!
