Cornbiscuit!

Instructions on having the best of both worlds when dining at Cracker Barrel:

  • Divide warm, flaky biscuit in half
  • Divide warm, crumbly corn muffin in half.
  • Generously spread REAL butter atop each half.
  • Place one corn muffin half atop one biscuit half.
  • Devour.
  • Repeat

I'm very excited to say that I've been spending precious study/homework/house cleaning hours playing this new game that Tyler so graciously bought me for my birthday (which is in like two more weeks)! There's nothing like taking a break from studying/not studying to play a game that actually engages your mind instead of just vegging out in front of the TV. We're having trouble catching up with the DVR recently - too much on it to watch!

Art and Gravity


See this lovely piece of work? It's a lot bigger than it appears to be in the picture. Tyler and I were taking a nap on Sunday afternoon and we were suddenly awakened by this huge CRASH/BANG sound. We both sat straight up in a panic and looked around the room to see what had happened. Of course the picture was right behind our heads, so it took a while to realize that it had decided to fall to the ground between the bed and the wall. Amazingly enough, the glass did not shatter. And I believe the frame is repairable. We'll see. We did manage to complete our nap after that, but it was so scary! We're also very thankful that the picture did not fall on our heads. I wonder why it decided to fall after remaining secure on our wall for almost exactly one year. And also, why did it have to happen while we were in the bed sound asleep? The world may never know.

Finally sold my car today! Thought it would never happen. I was set to sell it early last week but when the buyer and I walked out to the car (after he had driven an hour to get here) I quickly noticed something wasn't right. The driver's side mirror had been bashed in! Who done it? We're pretty sure who did it, but we have no proof. SO. We ordered some parts, shelled out $250 and got the thing fixed. I even filled up the tank with gas and washed the thing in an effort to apologize to the buyer for making the trip in vain the first time. I am very glad that he was so nice about it all and he completely realized that none of it was my fault. Oh, and by the way, the parts we ordered were in yesterday, but the new mirror did not come painted like it was supposed to so that cost us an extra day and me a extra trip down to the auto body place. Exciting, I know! I know it felt very good to take that check to the bank though.
Pizza, cookies and a long stay at the gym made my day lots better.
