I was doing some reading tonight for school and stumbled across a line of thinking that got ME thinking… namely, the author of one of the articles I was reading was asserting the notion that, to become very adept and/or expert in basically *anything*, you need to have been doing it for at least ten …

I’m going to a bachelor party tomorrow night at Dave & Buster’s. I’m not sure how I feel about that. There WILL be another girl there, but it IS a “let’s get the groom drunk, mmmkay?” bachelor party. Hmmmm.

Ha! Google has a new blog search device, so I decided to blog-search my last name. Apparently, only the 22-year-old Swedish model Daniel Norell is higher than me! (Not sure what to think of that…)

Texas has ruined me. The pervasiveness of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine means I’m almost always craving nachos and/or chips & queso. In fact, on this Weight Watchers odyssey, I’m finding it most difficult to give up queso, then ice cream, then Chinese food. In that order. It just really, really sucks when I see people …

The good news of the day? The President George Bush Turnpike “Super Connector” opened recently. I just saw traffic on it today for the first time… though, I did see a news truck out there on my way to work last Friday. The bad news? Contrary to the status quo (at least, for me), I …

The Mountain Home Bombers — my high school alma mater — managed to defeat our archrival, the Harrison Goblins, AGAIN last night. …

I wish my parents were here (in Texas). Even though that would mean their daily average temperature would shoot up at least, oh, five degrees or so. (Sorry Ma & Pa!) Daniel’s parents are great, and my friends are great, but little can compare to the soothing presence of my mom and dad. And, of …

Today was the inspection on the house I’m trying to buy. It didn’t turn up a lot of problems, but there were a couple of things that definitely need to be looked at and/or fixed soon. It was also the day the lender sent out their appraiser. And, because of those two things, I spent …

All of the offer/counteroffer paperwork is essentially done, so I’m ready to share some photos. I thought about providing the Realtor.com link and/or MLS number, but I then realized that this isn’t really a private forum and random stalker people could come hunt me down at the new abode with that sort of info. So, …
