my new "favorite" song

Every once in a while, a song will grab me. I get überexcited whenever I hear it on the radio. I sing it at the top of my lungs. I download it and play it incessantly. During the summer, that song was "Don't Stop Believing" by the Glee cast. I am absolutely positive that Blendy could happily go the rest of her life without hearing it again. I think both my sisters will be thrilled to know that I've now landed on a new favorite (of the moment)...

what a weekend!

As I write this post, I'm sitting on my couch, covered by the throw I knitted a couple years ago, sipping Bella coffee, and watching Charade, the next installment in my great movie rewatch. I have the day off, as I used incredible foresight to realize that after last weekend, I'd need a day off to recuperate!Friday--I rushed home from work at 4:30, packed up, and headed over to my parents' house to pick up Val. After making two trips back to my apartment...

i've had the time of my life

Just saw on imdb that Patrick Swayze died today. Unlike many girls in my generation, I wasn't a Dirty Dancing fan (probably due to the fact that the first and only time I watched it was at a party with my then 11-year-old sister. I spent the majority of the movie with my hands over her eyes!). I did like Swayze, though, and I had a crazy affection for "She's Like The Wind," which he co-wrote and recorded for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.One of the...

i'm excited about ...

my next book review blogger book: Green by Ted Dekker! I would have bought the book anyway ... but now I get it for free!taking my yearbook staff to the fall yearbook conference in Kearney tomorrow.Homecoming Week, during which I get to wear jeans to work every day. (I usually have to stretch things a bit in order to make jeans fit into each day's theme--for crazy footwear day a couple years ago, I pinned socks to my jean capris--but this year, each...

wanna buy a movie???

I've gotta say, the great dvd rewatch experiment is going well. Not only am I enjoying watching the movies--for the most part--but I'm also successfully selling the movies I've decided to get rid of. True, I'm only making a fraction of what I initially paid, but any money is better than having the unwanted dvd's take up space on my shelf!Now if someone would just buy Bailey's Billions ...

can you believe we still use this?

This is my parents' camper. They bought it when I was a preteen, and it was quite old then.This picture gives you the overall effect. The hole in the screen was caused by mice. Val & I sleep in the bed on that side, and we couldn't open the window for fear of mosquitoes coming in.Check out the duct tape!Seriously, though, I'm thankful that my parents...

seagulls on the radio?

For years ... as in since the 8th grade ... one of my radio presets has been set to 107.7 KSYZ. Back when I started listening, it was called "Sunny 108" and played hits from the 70's, 80's, and 90's (and maybe 60's ... I can't remember anymore). Shortly after I started listening, the "Sunny 108" moniker disappeared, and it just became known as 107.7 KSYZ. Also, at some point--maybe around the turn of the century?--the 70's music disappeared, and...
