Found an interesting Blog today called 500 Pieces of Prudent Advice for My Baby Daughter
#175 If you are questioning whether someone loves you or not, the answer is right in front of you.
When it comes to [people] who are romantically interested in you, it's really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.
Randy Pausch
#181 Be where you are.
Try not to think about where you need to go next or wherever you just came from. This is more difficult then it sounds, but work at it. It’s important for your head to be present in the place where your body is.
#169 Order whatever you want.
If you want a neon orange fruity cocktail with a paper umbrella and plastic monkey hanging off of it, go for it! If you want a bowl of lettuce with the dressing on the side, have one. Banana sandwich? Be my guest. No one should be judging you by the style of food and beverage you consume; if they do, eat with someone else next time!
#152 Men as a rule are not good mind readers.
Articulate your thoughts to them clearly if you want to be sure that you will be understood. Imagine writing on a 3X5 card; short and to the point.
#144 The only problem you can solve by eating is hunger.
#123 You don't have to pretend you know something if you don't.
It's okay to just say, "I don't know." You can't know everything!
#80 Not everyone is going to like you, and that's just fine.

Randomness:
*Saw a kidney stone tonight...yeah that wasn't what I expected...(no it wasn't mine and it was in a plastic container) Wonder what its actually made of...
*Chatted with a person I had been wanting to talk to but was too shy to say hi to. :) I think it went well. He may think I'm weird, but yes I am weird and I made him laugh.
*With some playing with the antenna, we now have NBC with the converter box...Yay! Was so nice to watch some Football :) I swear some channels disappeared the other night.
*Remembered it was Grandparents Day today and got to visit with my grandmother and brought her a pretty mum for her doorstep. I think with the mum Charlotte bought she is all set for fall. Now she just needs a pumpkin.
*I did the unthinkable today and bought three Nike shirts....shocking I know...my loyalty streak to Adidas has ended...so sad...

Dinner

I had lots of fun today going to The Last Cache Bashe of Summer 2009. I had never been to an event before so it was cool to meet some of the local cachers and put names to faces. It was interesting to have people recognize my username :) I went with Corey and we got to discover a lot of geocoins including the one above which is one of the first coins issued.

thats a squirrel in the tree making those noises...I thought it was a bird at first. I think he was directing his anger at the cat near by. And what is kind of scary is that I can still hear him from inside....angry squirrel!

These two photos always make me laugh. :)

I am amazed at the number of movies coming out that are based on books from when I was a kid...All I can do is hope that they don't replace parents actually reading the books to their kids. I am excited though to see Where the Wild Things Are and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs on the big screen. :)

Very True...
