The Big 5-0!!

Happy Birthday to my Dad. Not that he would ever turn on the computer, let alone read this, I still had to acknowledge it.

To the man who gave me his smile, his temper and taught me everything I know about football and so much more, Happy Birthday!!!

Early retirement???

I think I'd really like to retire. Today, I didn't have class, didn't work and had nothing to do but enjoy the beatiful weather. So, instead of getting ahead in school work I chose to spend the day running errands/shopping and hanging out with J and little A. We took a walk, stopped and got some fresh vegetables, and then grilled out when her husband M got home. Oh, and did I mention the spectacular brownies we baked too??? Seriously, how much better can it get? I could really get used to that lifestyle. If only I could find someone to support me or figure out how to become independently wealthy.

St. Patty's Day Fun!

Your Irish Name Is...

Alannah Fitzpatrick

What's your Irish Name?

I kind of like it. You can also call me a copy cat :)

Welcome home!

Today my friends A & J (and their little one too) are moving back to the midwest from Baltimore. They're moving to Ann Arbor actually. For the first time in almost 6 years we will live within an hour of one another. And, I'm so excited! For years, I've been stalking the airlines for cheap flights to Madison and then Baltimore, but not anymore. Just a quick drive to one of my favorite cities and I can see them whenever I want.

However, I am a little bitter that I lived there for almost 5 years and within a year of me moving back to OH, they decide to move there. Funny how things work out sometimes :)

Cheers to new beginnings!

Remember this

This is quite possbily one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm not sure if it was the actual show or Jared Leto (Jordan Catalano) that kept me tuning in. The below clip is from one of the best episodes. I wonder if you can buy the seasons of this show??

Spring is in the air

*Today I wore flip flops
*Today I opened the windows for some fresh air
*Today I drove drove with my windows down (a tad)
*Today I put the snow shovel away in hopes I won't see it again until December

I LOVE the first couple days of it being warm. By warm, I mean 50. It's amazing how sunshine and the first signs of spring can really brighten your day.

What's a girl gotta do for some tickets??

Tickets go on sale for Jimmy Buffett on Monday morning. I'me not a fan of Ticketmaster, they always seem to screw me over somehow.

I can't decide which option gives me the best possible chance of landing some tickets. Phone, in person, or internet? I've tried all 3 in the past and only got lucky via internet once. (Luckily, my friends are better at this game than I am.) If I go in person, should I go to one of the many Krogers that's a ticket outlet, or the mall or Stranahan? Does anyone have any suggestions??

Vacuum envy

I want one of these. (Not necessarily this model, just a Dyson in general) I have several friends who have one and they love theirs. My old roommates bought one and when it arrived we did our own little experiment. We vacuumed with the old vacuum and the went over the same areas with the Dyson, and we were all amazed at how much dirt was left behid with the old vacuum.

Never in my life would I have ever thought I would actually be excited about a vacuum. (Must be a sign of old age?)

The only downfall... the price. But, I guess you get what you pay for. Perhaps one day when I'm a real "grown-up", maybe I'll get one.

Are you kidding me?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) are making a comeback? Or at least trying to? I couldn't believe it when I saw an ad for the new movie, opening 3/23. Pretty sure I won't be seeing this one.

T-O-L-E-D-O, Toledo!

Congrats to the Rockets on winning their first (outright) MAC title in 27 years! It was the first game I've actually been to all season. And, it was awesome. I went with my grandparents and one of my brothers. It was a great afternoon!

I'm normally not a basketball fan, but the game today made me wish I would have went to other games this season. Goodluck to the boys on Thursday in Cleveland!!

I want them all

This commercial brings a tear to my eye everytime I see it. It makes me want to somehow help all of those homeless dogs and cats out there. I was recently obsessed with a little Siamese cat at Petsmart. And just about the time I talked my Mom into taking her for me, she was adopted.

According to the Pedigree website, the dogs in the commercial were adopted this past fall.
