A brief vent about traffic....

After a couple of frustrating commute experiences, (I know....how bad is it, really, where I live) I feel the need to discuss a few items:

• Round-abouts #1 - When you are on the round-about, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. You should not stop on the round-about.
• Round-abouts #2 - When entering the round-about, it DOES NOT have to be empty to merge onto the circle. GO!
• Round-abouts #3 - When entering the round-about, do not race the person coming around the corner!
• Just follow the speed limits in school zones. They aren't huge areas, and it's not cool to fly through them.
• DO NOT block intersections. You won't get there any slower if you have to stop at one light, and you just tick people off going the perpendicular direction from you.
• Red light means STOP.

If only the city or state police department would allow me to write traffic tickets......

Thank you for your time.

Go IRISH! Beat Midshipmen!

What I learned in New Jersey

I traveled this weekend to the "blue state" of New Jersey. I have some life lessons that I thought I could share because they are "sooooo funny".

• Rutgers is "just like Notre Dame".....NOT!
• Everyone can enjoy putting together a Polly Pocket fashion show.
• I am not a good basketball player, but I can talk smack with the best of the 8 year olds.
• I am a master at the quiet game.
• In New Jersey, coaches for second grade football laminate their game play sheets.
• We're all in this together.
• When invited to a wedding, take note of the time.
• The mascot for Stanford University is the cardinal. Yes, the color red. Why they have a tree on their logo is still a mystery.
• Don't let the pigeon drive the bus!

With that, I say have a great Wednesday.

GO IRISH! Beat Stanford!

There's a mouse in my house

Panic! Trauma! O.K., maybe just drama!

I found a little brown mouse hanging out on my kitchen counter last night......thank goodness for D-Con. (and my mom)

Let's hope the little mousey found its way out of my house to kick the bucket.

Thanks for your support :)

GO IRISH!

Not a fair-weather fan!

Irish fans, unite!

While the loss on Saturday was painful (to say the least), we must remain true to our team. After all, as much as we can say we feel their pain or it hurts us, let's be real, people......we didn't get tackled, we just took a little abuse in our daily lives from a few crazy people (you know of whom I speak).

For today, I leave with one quote:
"And our hearts forever, LOVE THEE NOTRE DAME!"

Have a great week!

September 15th

As fall busy season closes at work, it's time to get pumped up for fall TV season. Next week, Grey's Anatomy and The Office for starters!

I love a good TV season.

Have a great weekend everybody!


GO IRISH! BEAT WOLVERINES!!!!!!!

Dancing With The Stars

A common bond I have with my dad....the TV show "Dancing With The Stars". Yes, Major watches the show. While I didn't see this week's show in its entirety yet, my votes are for Joey Lawrence, Sara Evans, and Mario Lopez. The question is which two dancers do I own their CD's......I will have more to comment about this show in future editions.

Until later,

GO IRISH! BEAT WOLVERINES!

Is it an obsession?

So, I just decided it's time. Time for me to officially admit that the 2006 ND football team ROCKS! Among other things, this blog will be a voice for yet another fan of the Fighting Irish.

For today, that's all I have.....I will leave with this.....GO IRISH! BEAT WOLVERINES!
