2008-05-20 14:25:00 I know I'm not the only one that constantly tries to 'remind' herself; "You've got to remember to blog about that!" and like a dummy, I always think I will.

I Love Brad Paisley - Uh, Like a Brother I Mean
2008-05-20 04:47:00 When it comes to music I'm an eclectic sort. When my laptop is on 'random' play you never know what you'll get. I'll be singing along with "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof and the next song to come on from my files will be Limp Bizkits version of "Gotta Have Faith" and before you know it "I Wanna Be a Cowboys Sweetheart" will come on or even Gregorian Chants followed by an More About: Love , Brad Paisley , Brad , Brother , Paisley
Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is... Stateless Societies
2008-05-20 03:25:00 Have you ever wanted to go swimming in a pool, lake or the ocean and you start by dipping your toe in to test the waters? You may then wade in a bit and let yourself get used to it and then go in a little deeper. While on one hand it is refreshing and eye opening, it also may make you gasp a little, and as you walk you get a little deeper, a little deeper, and if you are not careful you More About: Money , Mouth , Putting , Societies

2008-05-19 20:08:00 Yesterday while my best friend and I were running errands she said she wanted to buy flowers to plant to help get the landscaping ready for the house to go on the market.

Being Anti-Social in a Good Way

Don't Lace Your Skater Shoes. I Got it.
2008-05-18 18:23:00 Getting ready to leave I realize I should wear shoes. Preferably tennis shoes. My daughters make fun of my old Reeboks so I take inventory of their 8 pairs of tennis shoes and chose one of my 12 year olds. They are 1/2 size too big and it feels funny. I chose instead, a pair that my 12 year old grew out of. They fit perfectly. Except they are 'skate shoes' and you can't lace up skate shoes More About: Shoes , Skater , Lace
