Strike 2

“Borrowed”  wifi is cool, but we are stuck in Carthage, IL with a rental car with a faulty shifter.  A rental car that was supposed to take us to Kentucky tomorrow.
This is getting interesting.
In related news, we have crossed the Chevy Cobalt off of our list of “cars we might want to own someday.”
UPDATE:
We’re back [...]

My First Icee

I had never had one of these (29 years old and never had one before!).  I met up with a friend who invited me to lunch.  I was not hungry, but I was thirsty, and had never had one, and saw the machine, and so I had to have one.  How is that for a [...]

We got gas

A few years ago, when gas prices crossed $2.00/gallon, I decided that gas cost too much and I was going to save money by buying a bike and riding it to school and for other transportation around town.  Of course, I discovered that I really enjoyed riding the bike, and became a pretty hardcore cycling [...]

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

I did it.  Yesterday.  Can you believe I cut off a foot of my hair (well, Betsy actually cut it), and I haven’t cried yet.  I really do like it.  I think it is cute, and while it is odd to have my hair so short, I am not having second thoughts.  Here are pictures [...]

The Winds Of Change

We all know that I have long hair.  We also know I love long hair.  Some of us know that I stress the idea of cutting my hair.  Some of us know that I often “get really sad” after cutting my hair.  However winter is coming.  I hate winter.  I wish I liked autumn.  But [...]

Who You Gonna Write

We do not subscribe to cable or dish.  We do our TV watching at other people’s houses or online.  One of the shows that we have come to love is The Big Bang Theory.  However, I (we) am upset with CBS at the moment.  All last season (and we waited patiently through the writers’ strike) [...]

Arrr I Kick Me In The Seat Of Me Pants

Yesterday was “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and I missed out until 9:30 pm.  This makes me sad-ish.  I still had 2 hours to play. 
I bought pants onWednesday.  They fit nicely.  I decided I needed a second pair, as pants rarely fit me nicely.  I went back yesterday to get a pair.  The label [...]
