Yay for pie

I know why i love casey, he makes pie! We made apple pie with apples from my mom's garden. OH MAN, this should win awards. My mother almost died when she ate it. Casey and I are completely satisfied after eating it. OH YEA.... YUMMMMM. This was a nice weekend, we went out to dinner to Flea St. Cafe, in Menlo Park, to celebrate our comittment with my parents. It was a great meal. I had halibut encrusted with herbs and flower petals. Casey had a delicious steak. Before dinner Casey (the crazy person) rode 76 miles on his bike. WOAH BABY. He is impressive. Well, i guess that is all i have to say now. The pie was so good.... I just had to brag.

can you walk and chew gum?

Well, it is official, Mccain is a magician, or should I say a master of distraction. I am so annoyed with the damn McCain campaign I could just poop. Ooops, just did. hehe. No but really, is McCain really that scared to talk about the issues, the SERIOUS issues, that he has to appear like he cares, and tries to cancel the debate? MAN, this guy is ridiculous. Also, I think this was a stunt to get the VP debate (expected next week) to be rescheduled, so poor little Palin doesn't have to speak for herself. I can't believe this. Well, I guess we should have expected it. Everything he does is a stunt. I am scared for this country if he becomes president. He is so impulsive, but at the same time slow, he doesn't think. Seriously, i don't trust a man who hires someone he met one time, then keeps her from the press (becasue she can't be trusted to answer questions correctly), and then cancels his campaign to be a "hero" and go solve Washington's problems, and can't have a debate. THEN I hear that he cancels his appearance with David Letterman, and doesn't actually go back to Washington till tomorrow, and does a interview with Katie Couric instead. The funniest is that David Letterman got Keith Olbermann to fill in for McCain's spot. That is going to be a serious McCain bash tonight. You should watch!
Anyways, I can't believe this whole stunt...... frustrates me.

Other than that, I ended IVs today!!!! YAY!!!!! I also talked to my good friend Alanah. She is the cutest person. I have to do the worst thing tomorrow... LAUNDRY. POOOOOOOOOO. I can't stand laundry. It annoys me. Well, it could be worse, I could be in the hospital, and I am not, so life is good. I am thankful to be well enough to do laundry, but it is one of those things in life that is just so monotonous. OK< enough from me for now. I gotta go get ready to watch Letterman... hehehe.... GOOOO KEITH!

Caseys new bike and cupcakes!

Casey got a new bike today. He has been waiting for it for 3 weeks, and shopping for it since June. Needless to say he is very excited in anticipation. Well, today I took him to the shop and dropped him off for a ride home on his new Felt F3 bike. Can you tell that he has been talking about it? haha.... I am very happy for him. He deserves a new toy since he has been so dedicated to his biking and he has a ride up mount diablo next weekend. So this will be great. Also, this is the first post from my NEW computer. I think I like it for the most part, vista is a bit annoying, and I can't figure out how to make the webcam work, but other than that it is great. Hasn't crashed yet. Hopefully that takes a few years for that to happen. Yesterday was a very fun day as we found a gigantic sale on bathroom tile. We are going to redo the bathroom, and to a thrifty shopper, a sale was right up our alley. I can't believe we actually found stuff that was perfect for us. We hadn't decided on the floor tile yet because all the stuff we wanted was out of our range. WELL, the sale made things much more reasonable. We got 12dollar a square foot tile for 4 bucks! What is that like 70 ish percent off? AWESOME. So now we get to put in stone like we wanted. Now I just gotta find a tile guy and a great contractor that doesn't cost too much... good luck to me for that one. We also discovered a CUPCAKE store. We ended up getting too many because they all looked so good and we wanted to try, so we might be in sugar comas for the next few days..... hehehe... I tried the coconut and the carrot one last night. YUMMY! I like them because they have lots of frosting. Kara's Cupcakes in Palo Alto, they also have on in SF. So that is all for now... i gotta go eat a cupcake. hehehe..... (devious smile here).

Sad day......

I just received an email from my very best friend, and her boyfriend/lifepartner, just left to be deployed. He was done with his obligation, but was recalled because of our fabulous problems in the middle east. I am sitting here listening to the song that makes me so happy because it reminds me of my love, and i can't imagine how it would feel to have the love of your life swept away suddenly. They had about 3 weeks to prepare for this day....... When you think you will spend the rest of your life with someone and they are all of a sudden gone..... for about one year, maybe a little more...... I am just sending Emily my love and thoughts. I can't imagine how it could feel. But I am wanting to be here for her, and to support our troops, and LETS GET THEM HOME!

To Mac or to PC?

Yesterday I went to look at a couple computers at Costco. I currently have an HP and I like HP. I wish I didn't have to get a new computer because Windows Vista appears to be a problem. I was trying to decide about the possibility of switching to Mac. My sister and my mom have one but My dad and casey and I have a PC, Sara used to have PC but she just recently switched. I must admit I don't really like either option. The Vista was annoying and I know how everyone says how user friendly Macs are, but I just don't like it. It feels backwards to me. Yesterday I decided I was just going to bite the bullet and get HP again, but now I am just not so sure. I went with Casey to the barber shop, where they had lots of boy magazines and i read an article about vista, it is crap. It blue screens, which I didn't want because this computer does that too.... We tried all we could to save my computer but we think it has a hardware problem which isn't going to be fixable (without spending some cash). So I am sitting here with this dilemma of Mac or PC, I just don't know what to do. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to it, BRING IT ON.

Other than that... I am feeling very rested now. I have allowed myself to sleep and rest and this week allowed me to get to a rested place I have not been since before grad school (4 years ago). I seriously haven't felt this rejuvinated in a long time. Hopefully I will be able to use this and get some stuff done, but I like the feeling of not being overscheduled, and overstimulated. I might try to hang on to it for a while. Well, that is all i have to report now. Maybe I will go with my dad to check out some more computers. grrrr... computers can be so frustrating!

Sleepy

I am one tired cookie. This IV stuff is wearing on me. I feel like when I had mono and every time I sat down I fell asleep. I took 3 naps today, and even so, i still had a pretty productive day. I am sitting here waiting for my sister to finish talking to her cute boyfriend and talk to me on Aim, while she is in Venice. I am very excited to talk to her, as I am about to pee in my pants. hehe. Other than that, I had a nice conversation with my friend Alyson today. I am very excited for her as she has met a nice boy. well, a man, but I like to call them boys. So i hope things go well for her on that front. I also have a new addiction to Frozen Yogurt. It is the devil and i love it!!!!! I think last week i had yogurt or ice cream every day. I went with our family friend Janet and her niece Allison to get yogurt today. It was delish!!!!! And they were nice company as well. Well, my newest adventure is that i get nauseous when i get one of my meds. It is really fun to wake up in the morning almost puking. Tonight it got me too, and i am trying to shake it off. Any smell bothers me... it is great fun! Well, my sister in going to talk to me now... so I am going to go....
