How Do You Know You Are Marrying a Geek?
How do you know when you are marrying a geek? When he builds you your very own Wedding CPU. [via my geek who did not propose like that!]
Follow Me, I’ll Take You There!
As I mentioned last week, Super Bowl XXXVIII has arrived and has hit Houston with full force. Everywhere you look in downtown there are signs and references to the Super Bowl. Last week I mentioned the crazy “Put Your Smile On, Company’s Coming!” ad campaign, and Mike pointed out a radio commercial he [...]
Just a Good Ol’ Boy…
Leave the poor man alone, Duhbya just wants to get some good ribs. [via Derek]
Wedding Blog…
Originally, I was going to set up a wedding blog. I realized yesterday, while composing my long wedding post, that I actually don’t want to blog about wedding plans separately. I would prefer to keep them here, all in one place. We are still going to set up a wedding site with [...]
Here Comes the Bride…
I have both wedding updates and house updates. It’s too much to go through in one sitting, so I’ll run through wedding plans for now. House stuff can wait until we look at more houses.
The Date
For some reason, we both suggested May. It’s before the full heat of summer, it’s not a [...]
Elevator Etiquette…
What is up with people and their lack of elevator etiquette? This has been bothering me for the past few days. I work in a building with 46 floors. We have three sets of elevators, divided in to banks so that things run smoothly. My bank of elevators covers 32 – [...]
Stars on Ice!
There is only one thing that can keep me away from another one of the infamous Tiara Happy Hours. I’m missing the one tonight because I’m going to Stars On Ice! I have wanted to go for several years, but never actually made it there. I’m so excited, I can hardly [...]
Under Siege…
As I’m sure everyone is aware, Houston is the home of Super Bowl XXXVIII. It’s over a week away, but the signs are going up and the banners are flying. Literally. They’ve replaced all the banners in downtown that tell you what “district” you are in with Super Bowl banners. A [...]
Feeling the Love…
The worst part about not blogging as often as I used to is that sometimes I think about something I want to post about – but by the time I have a chance to focus and write, I forget what I was going to say. That doesn’t mean the topic was trivial – not [...]
You’ll Just Have to Wait…
Really, really, Bush has proof that there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, but you’ll just have to wait a few years for the details.
Maybe it’s just me, but if you go to war – and in the State of the Union address last year say that you’re going because Iraq definitely has those [...]
Itch Relief…
I just posted this in my comments on the post below, but decided to make it a post too for anyone that might wonder or might have more information to share.
I had allergy testing done because every year I have sinus problems (to the point I’ve asked a doctor before if they could just cut [...]
Scratch, Scratch, Scratch…
Last Friday, I was given the opportunity to experience the fun joy that is allergy testing. I was tested for grass, mold, trees, cats, dogs, cockroaches and dust mites. I didn’t react to the grass testing – so I’m not allergic to grass. I am allergic to everything else, with allergies that [...]
Reason #342…
Want to know yet another reason why I absolutely love my Tivo and I am a die-hard Tivotte? Because you can use it to pause the State of the Union address and yell at Bush about what an idiot he is and how the last thing he said was just incredibly stupid. Of [...]
Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins…
Did you know that Leanord Nimoy sang a catchy little tune about Bilbo Baggins, the greatest hobbit ever known? Yeah, I had no clue about that either. I’m can’t stop giggling. Oh my. [via Elaine]
Proof After All…
Just to prove that I am not totally clueless, I had to add a post to counter my post from earlier today. I am not completely Star Wars clueless. (HAN. Ok, I get it. HAN. Without the “s” at the end.) Mike left a trivia tidbit in my earlier [...]
I’m Not Alone…
While Kymberlie and I still worked together, the truth came out one day. I had *NO* clue that Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia were not only brother and sister, but actually twins. Granted, I haven’t seen the first three Star Wars movies (or number 4-6 depending on how you want to count) since [...]
Passing Thoughts…
Dear Blog:
I feel so bad. I really should write in you more often. The past month (ok, who am I kidding, 6 months to a year) have been a whirlwind. I am barely online at all anymore lately, quite a switch from the way my life used to be. However, I’m [...]
Motivational Thought…
“What you expect of yourself will be closely linked to what you accomplish” – E. A. Teppe
In My Country…
The Bush in 30 Seconds finalists are online. Amazing, amazing work. I think the “What Are We Teaching Our Chiclren” ad (high bandwidth version) might be my personal favorite Check them out! [Via Jay Allen]
Painfully Cool…
Know who really rocks? Shelli! While I was busy taking a blogging break and then getting engaged and all the mayhem that has come with that, she was busy creating a wonderful “This is Your Blog” just for me! How awesome is that? Learn all about what happens When Good Cookies [...]
