Random thoughts

Some random thoughts I'm having today:

* I just logged into MySpace for the first time in over a year. Seriously, the last time was November 2007. Funny how that happens... I go from doing something constantly... to slowly doing it occasionally... to just stopping one day without realizing it! Anyway, it was amusing to see comments people wrote back in January... that I never saw. Haha! Also, I had forgotten about all these people that I was "friends" with on myspace but haven't talked to in forever... namely, most of my nursing class from Harcum. It was crazy to see all the people who have gotten married or engaged or had babies!

* I am thoroughly annoyed that the lawn service guys came today. I mean, yes, I am glad they are here and all, but they haven't been here in like 2 months!! Last week I got so frustrated that I went out and bought a rake, then raked my yard. And now they show up?! Argh! I have to say that I am not particularly impressed.

* Went to Costco this morning. Every time I blog about Costco, the hits on my blog go through the roof! So therefore, I am letting you know that I went again today. :) Among random things that I bought was a Christmas wreath for my front door! 28 inches of evergreen glory for $15. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Also, while I am on the subject... another reason I love The Warehouse is that the employees were wiping off the cart handles as people pushed their wet carts into the store. How cool is that? Never saw that before... at ANY store!

* I need to get a haircut. Like, a month ago. But I hate getting it done. So much awkward conversation with the stylist and it costs a fortune. I also really should probably keep up with the highlights but I am too poor for that. :) I have been procrastinating on getting my hair cut for several months now... which means it is nice and long, but also rather scraggly. Sigh.

* We put up the Christmas tree, but I haven't bought ornaments yet. I should do that today, I suppose, since I am pretty much working from tomorrow through the time we leave for Andy's wedding. But I am just not sure how I want to decorate it!! Red balls? Multi-colored balls? Ribbons? The choices go on and on!

* This week I have been contemplating the fact that I have now lived here well over a year and have yet to have found a doctor, a dentist, or a veterinarian. Or for that matter, a hair stylist or eyebrow waxer. Or a mechanic. Sigh. Guess I better get started on some of these things, huh!

Perhaps I have more important things to do than blog or surf the web. :)

Never Gonna Give You Up

I stole this from Rob's dad's Facebook page... it made me laugh so hard that I thought I better share it with you. :)

O Tannenbaum!

We put up the Christmas tree last night! No decorations yet, but even just having the tree up puts me in the holiday spirit. :)

Trying to figure out how to make the fake tree look a bit more real!!

The now-traditional photo of Rob in the tree box! :)

Thanksgiving

Well, I've had to fix the previous post because the embedded video just wouldn't work. :( It was a video of a local Costco and how they make all the pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving! But if you are still interested, the article from the Seattle Times (and accompanying video) can be found here. Although Thanksgiving has passed, it is still pretty interesting!

I had a great Thanksgiving!! I cooked a full meal, and Rob came over to help me eat it. :) Roasted a turkey and everything! The menu also included stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes (and homemade gravy), and a failed attempt at sweet potatoes. Rob was very kind, and took a few bites of the sweet potatoes, then offered to be the one to make them next year! Hahaha!! :) Perhaps my extreme dislike of sweet potatoes somehow affected my ability to cook them. For dessert, I had pumpkin pie and Rob had tiramisu, and we watched "The Simpsons Movie"... except that we each fell asleep and missed half of it. All in all, a wonderful day.
