I Knew it!

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 04:04:35 GMT

"Happy Together" was used as the Golden Grahams commercial song back when I was a kid. I remember this commercial, and I remember asking (a very long time ago) my brother, the memory man, if he remembered that being the song for the commercial. He didn't. I thought I must have been mistaken. But thanks to Retrojunk.com, my memory has been redeemed! Anyone else remember?

Wanted: A New Job

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 17:40:23 GMT

I am currently making negative money at my current job due to student loans and bills. I love my work and my co-workers, but I must have a positive balance at the end of each month.

I am skilled with computers, office work, manual labor, photography, and I interact well with people. I learn new tasks very quickly, and employers and co-workers have always been pleased to have me on their team.

If you know of any opportunities I might consider, please let me know.

Die Hard 4

I proudly confess to having seen it three times now. It has replaced The Princess Bride as my favorite movie ever. Yes, it's true. It's hard to believe, I know.

Myspace and Facebook

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 03:11:20 GMT

Ok, I admit it. I've been devoting more time to Myspace and Facebook than I have to Xanga since the majority of my contacts use those two. Facebook has some really cool applications. If you don't have it, you should try it. Myspace sucks for blogging, but most of my contacts are there. So you can check me out there, and you can also hit up Photographic Memory, though I confess I've not devoted much time there lately either. Xanga rocks my socks off for blogging, yet it remains at the bottom for me...it makes me sad.

Hot Stuff

Oh, yeah, it's hot outside these days. And I couldn't be happier about it. When I get out of work, it's the hottest part of the day. And I go home, change, pack up my lake gear, and head out with the pup to go enjoy the heat. I love hot weather, muggy weather, being outside, enjoying the bright sunshine and beautiful nature.

I can't just play football with myself, so usually when I'm at the lake, I'm just reading or taking pictures. My dog doesn't quite understand fetch, no matter what method I use to teach her. But she loves bringing me dead fish. (Thanks, Sandy, your gifts are precious to me.) I'm debating buying a raft to take over to Avondale to put in. I hope Sandy would stay in the raft with me!

So I was particularly grateful for company when Luke and Brad and I headed out to the lake after work. Brad and I watched Princess Bride (the best movie in the world ever made) while we waited for Luke to get off. Then we all went and played football. What a fun time!

Few Days at Home

My time at home was very nice. Not much time to spend there; work doesn't afford me time off. They pay me in peanuts and I'm scheduled every other day. I'm so worth more than that.

I saw Rachel Bowman while I was home, a dear friend that I have not seen since her sister Christen's graduation from Trevecca.

Next time I go home, I need to make sure I'm home during the day on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. We have a kickass BBQ place called Porky D's, owned and operated by Trey Dooley's family (a guy I went to HS with). Delicious food. The hash and rice is divine, and I would love to have brought some back with me. Unfortunately, they're only open Thursday-Saturday, 11-8. I missed them this trip. Next time.
