I don’t watch NFL. Could never get into it. But now I have 3 reasons why I will start following NFL this upcoming years. 1. My Dreamboat dweller Matt Leinart will play for AZ Cardinals. 2. Lendale White, the Thunder, will play for Tennessee Titans with USC’s mortal enemy, Vince Young. 3. Reggie Bush will be whistling dixie with New Orleans Saints. So, okay. I don’t know much about the NFL and the whole drafting process. From what I’ve read, Matty was supposed to go to the Titans or NY Jets and Reggie to Texas. The theory on Matty accordingly...

I had dinner with my friends Melissa and Jen last night at Jen’s house. Melissa is a good friend from high school who has moved away to Boonytown, IL after getting married a few years ago. She’s out in the sunny and tornado-free CA for a week to visit her family and friends. So it was good to see her. It was also wonderful to Jen after all these years. You see, Jen was my best friend from high school through college. We were tight. I went with her family on a road trip to visit her relatives in Texas...

And because I can. 3 weeks in a row now that I went down to Downtown farmers market and NOT wanting my absolutely most favorite bacon-wrapped hotdog. I mean, it smells great. I was right there, but I just didn’t want it. And here I am. It’s 12:13. I’m hungry. But nothing sounds good to eat. Nothing. What the hell????...

Look what Amy got me!! Amy and her family had a huge garage sale over the weekend, and the boys were getting rid of some of their toys. These Monsters Inc. figurines showed up. Amy, who had contributed a few Star Wars toys to my desk in the past, didn’t know what these were for but figured I’d like them. So she saved them for me. And who knew, we end up with THE OakMonster. ;-D...

Taking up yoga. Cleaning the house more often. Trying to do more with my life. I think I’m trying to find me. When I went home in February, I felt lost. I usually go home to relax, to enjoy my break, to recharge and reconnect. This time, most of the trip was hugely emotional. The last few days of it I finally ran away for a break. Although I did have a good time, deep inside I felt guilty for running off from my mom and actually enjoying not being the dutiful daughter I should’ve been. When I got back...
