Welcome to the Blogosphere/Bloggersphere/Blogsphere!

Yay for new blogs!  My parents are entering the 21st century!  First they got twitter accounts and now they have blogs!  How cute!!!

This is a short week for me, I am only working 3 days.

I just got a new camera and I am super excited about that.  I shall have to take copious amounts of pictures now!

The weather was amazing last week.  So fall like.  If it was spring, I would have said it was "spring like."  That is what I initially thought, but since it is fall, I guess it is fall like.

Allie has fleas...

She really does.  And I can't get rid of them.  She has had a bath every night for the past 4 nights and she just got her monthly flea medicine.  Argh!

I had to go out of town last week, I had to go to Washington, DC for a meeting.  I flew up on the 8th and then flew back home on the 11th.  My parents, nor Andrew, realized I was flying on September 11th until that morning.  I thought I would have been more aware of my surroundings that morning.  I took the metro to the airport and that was really the only time I looked around and thought "nah, its too early for anything to happen,"  as it was 5:30 in the morning.  When I got to the airport there was a few more TSA people there, I thought, but no lines for security and really it was just business as usual.  My main thought was I was worried about someone calling in a bomb threat.  I didn't worry about anything actually happening, just worried that someone would thought that something would happen.  Are we as American's to be applauded to be able to recover from an event so devastating, or are we just that lazy?  Personally I think it is a bit of both, and that is ok with me!  :)

On a side note, MMA is crazy.  I don't see how people do it, but it is entertaining to watch.

Guilty Pleasures...

So I have a few guilty pleasures.  I do not know what draws me to these things but if I see these certain things on TV or hear them on the radio or something, I just can't not watch/listen.  What brings this up you ask?  Well I was watching the Georgia football game on TV and during the commercial I was flipping through the channels and stumbled on TBS and "Save the Last Dance" was on.  This is guilty pleasure numero uno.  I have seen this movie so many times, it is sad.  It's on TBS probably at least once a month and every time it is on, I seem to find it.  It seems to send out a signal in my TV to me saying, "come and find me."  And I do.  And every time it is on, I watch it.  There is nothing in the movie that is particularly appealing to me, but I watch it, always.

My song guilty pleasure of the moment is some Miley Cyrus song.  I don't even know the name, but every time I hear it I have to stop the radio and listen to the whole song.  It is not a particularly good song, imo, but dang it, I have to listen.

I do not understand why I am drawn to these things, but I guess that is the point of a guilty pleasure.

Peas out.

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat...

So, I decided to harness my inner 13 year old girl this afternoon and watch "The Little Mermaid" while on the treadmill.  Oh how I love this movie.  What I love even more is the memories I have surrounding the movie.  Just watching it (and singing along to it, of course) takes me back to when my family had a beach house down at Shell Point.  My sister, our friend Mary-Kate, and I would watch this movie, listen to the soundtrack, and sing the songs from the movie continuously.  Almost 20 years later, I guess, I can can still quote the movie and sing the songs (and seriously, what great songs! Le Poisont, le poisont, hee hee hee haw haw haw).  When I was young I used to have pretty long hair, and we would "play" The Little Mermaid in the pool (yes, we had a neighborhood pool at the beach, it totally makes sense) and I would try and jump out of the water and flip my hair back, a la Ariel, and yeah, with thick hair, that is quite a painful, almost neck-breaking, task.  But more than my love of this movie is my love of the memories it stirs in the brain pan.

:)  

Peas and carrots!

Prime Rib? YUM!!

I went to my parents this weekend for Labor Day. I had a great time, it was very relaxing. On Saturday evening we went with some of my parents' friends to this restaurant called "Chef Jay's." Apparently this guy used to work for Conrad Hilton or something and then had a place in Bainbridge and now owns this dive of a place in Reynoldsville or Donalsonville or something. The a/c barely works, there are probably 20 tables max in the place, and the paneled ceiling is not in the best shape. His waitresses are in black and white pretty nice attire, but he is in a chef jacket and like pj-looking things. Well on Friday and Saturday nights he has prime rib, and O...M...G...it is FABULOUS! He won't cook prime rib more than medium so I had the medium cut (I am usually a medium-well kind of eater, but the medium was delish and not undercooked at all). It was phenomenal. Oh, and it was huge! I ate it all, but passed on the potato because I couldn't eat anymore (and plus my mom made cheesecake for dessert!!).

We also went to Chef Jay's for brunch on Sunday and it was great as well. I had an omelet and the buffet. Then the wife of the chef passed around benettes (sp?).

All in all...WONDERFUL!
