oh, and by the way...

Since I haven't updated this thing since January...we don't live in Streator anymore. We're just northeast of Galesburg now and I work as a news reporter. I love it. I'm a lot busier than I was in Streator. I'm part of a staff of three and we all seem to get along well, which is good when you're in an often highly charged newsroom with a lot going on. I've found somewhere I want to be for a while (now I have that song in my head..."somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. if birds fly over the rainbow, why, oh why, can't I?") Scott's a security guard at a local community college and Rosie the wonderdog is as crazy and spastic as ever. Still hates her baths, still chews up every squeaky toy in site, and still is spoiled rotten.

Great, now I want to go watch The Wizard of Oz. I love that movie. I think I've seen it at least 10 times.

I also think that's how many times I've seen the X-Files movie and the episode of "Star Trek: the Next Generation" where Picard becomes a borg, which makes me an odd individual.

I can't believe Christmas is just over a month away and Thanksgiving is next week. Unbelievable. This year has flown by. I'll be 26 in four weeks. Two and a half weeks later 2006 will be over. Sheesh.

That's all for now.

Hi everyone!

Hi everybody! It's been quite a while, I know, since I posted. I need to get back in the habit of this blogging thing. Not a whole lot going on right now, my busy week is over, and we're headed north for the weekend.

Random thoughts...

-The college football world lost one of its greatest ever today. Bo Schembechler, the legendary Michigan coach, died today on the eve of the biggest college football game of the year...his Michigan Wolverines against Ohio State.

-The Democrats say they're going to focus their agenda on people's rights when they come back in to session in January. Nice. That terrorism thing and that war thing and that middle class getting smaller thing apparently aren't as important. I'm all for rights, but there has to be a line somewhere. I can honestly say since 9/11 and the new rules that have taken effect I haven't felt as though any of my rights were taken away. Just my opinion, though.

-Does anyone care that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting married, or that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are divorcing? Honestly, are those important, earth-shattering, breaking news moments?

-Is a Playstation 3 really worth standing in line for a day and a half for? Is it really worth $600? And how do you get two days off work to even stand in line for a Playstation 3?

Not much else happening right now. I'm going to try and keep this updated on a regular basis now.
