Due to the comedic genius of Napolean Dynamite, I thought it would be fitting to post my new favorite site: Napolean Dynamite Quotes

Just Another Day
One thing I can say about my life lately is that I am never truly bored. Yesterday was a nice day. I woke up, went to a Dallas Mavericks game, read some of my textbook, and went to a concert. Not too shabby. And it was all free! Thank God for good friends!
Last night I was able to go see Jerry Jeff Walker, Pat Green and Jack Ingram at a special 'Tsunami Relief' concert in Dallas. I was quite impressed with the simple acoustic setting and story telling chatter between the three stars. The only thing missing was a campfire. The most interesting part of this concert would definitely be the lack of Pat Green's ability to form complete sentences with words found in the Webster's Dictionary. Apparently he got started a little bit earlier on the beer drinking than the rest of us. It was comical for the most part until he tried to lead the crowd in a prayer and failed miserably. But the entire event benefited the Tsunami relief efforts and I am glad that I could be present to witness such an outpour of help among US citizens.

Virtual Golf
This game is so much fun. I think that it may raise my non-existent handicap a couple of points, but it was worth it.

Baby Showers
Who thought up the baby shower? Was this before or after the wedding shower? No one I know likes to go to either of these two functions. I even know several people who don't care to have them thrown for them when planning their wedding or baby's birth. If you can't tell by my tone, I went to one yesterday. Now I didn't have to go, but as any good friend would do, I felt obligated and went. At one point I tried to count the number of times I heard 'How Cute' and 'Ahhh' but I lost track when the woman next to me tried to convince the mother-to-be that she needs to start stocking up on breast pads right now! (Those are for what? Yikes!)
What happened to sending gifts on the arrival of a baby? And, don't get me wrong, I love shopping for baby clothes just as much as any good Aunt does, but it cracks me up that a couple who together make more money than I will ever see, still have the audacity to register for items such as: baby crib, stroller, high chair etc.
And then there are the women like me who know that some distant cousin is going to insist on throwing me a shower someday. I suppose at that point I will go to Baby's R Us and register for all of the boogar tweezers and breast pumps I can ever hope to get my hands on. It's all a vicious cycle.

Back to School
I am pretty excited to start school again this week. It's not the 'back to school' excited that you get in 3rd grade. More like the 'I finally have something to do after work besides happy hour' excited. Three years of that will wear you out.
I went to orientation last week for the program. I felt like I stepped back in time because I haven't been in that building for almost three years. I even emailed my friends to notify them of my shock when I didn't see them in the hallway. Or maybe just rub it in that I am the first one to get off my arse and finish my second degree.
So I am going to take one measly course and see how well I can juggle work and school. If I continue at this rate, I will be done by 2010. I hope this is not the case.
