Thanksgiving Was Okay 11.27.09

Each year as Thanksgiving approaches, I can’t help but imagine the Thanksgiving scenes from TV shows.  Not necessarily the details of them, but how the get-together is made into a much bigger deal than the usual family dinner together.
This year my dad got a job that had to be done over the holiday weekend, which [...]

Helped With Moving 11.22.09

Billy & Alicia have been renting the same apartment for the last 5 or 6 years and have been happy with it so far.  It’s always been a little on the small side for them, but they coped with it and it has worked well, up until a couple of weeks ago.  They had their [...]

Won Some Chick-Fil-A 11.19.09

I usually don’t have any luck at all at winning anything, but today I actually did.  I just happened to check my Twitter account after lunch to see what was happening, saw the question posted from Chick-Fil-A, did a little quick math, and low and behold, I won!  There must have been some way off [...]

Gambling With Insurance 11.11.09

Right now at work, my health insurance is $12 per paycheck, or $24/month.  I don’t know the full details of it, other than it has a $500 deductible, but when I signed up for it my parents said that was an extremely good deal.  With the merger that my work is going through, we’re unfortunately [...]

Note To Self: Riding Jacket 11.10.09

I need to buy myself a riding jacket soon.  I hate missing out on riding through the cooler months of the year, and I’ve got an old friend that has asked my brother and I to meet up and go riding a couple of times already since it’s cooled off out.  I don’t know about [...]

The sad thing is the girl’s thoughts are probably exactly in line with this comic as much as mine are at times.  This should be a reminder to myself to think more optimistically.

Sign Of The Times: Starbucks 11.06.09

This was Dalton’s newest Starbucks, which was only open for around a year, or maybe even less.  Prior to Starbucks building there, there was a Chevron gas station, and if I remember correctly, it sold the location for a very large amount of money.  I’m speculating that either McDonald’s (which ironically is pictured in the [...]
