What I Learned Today

Wearing a bottom retainer for the first time in two weeks feels really weird.

Thank you small dog.

College Dorm Shopping: The Aunts Edition

As I get older and reach various stepping stones in my life, my aunts graciously volunteer their time to help prepare me.  The first adventure they embarked on was prom dress shopping my junior year.  I mean I am sure there have been many other adventures one or more of them have helped with but prom dress shopping is just the one that really sticks out in my head.

Once again, last night three of my four aunts readily volunteered their time, after work of course for Munchkin, piled into the Red Bus, and drove around BloNo on the great search for the perfect items to decorate my first home away from home.

I have to give them props.  I am possibly on the list for the world's most indecisive people, which was quite evident last night.  It wasn't until the third stop of the evening that I finally began to pick items up to go into my room.  After a return to trip to Target, triggered mostly by the fact that they have a snack bar and we were getting hungry waiting for Munchkin to get off work, another stop at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, a refueling break at Olive Garden, a quick run through of the mall, a repeat of WalMart, and it was declared that I had a vast majority of the articles I would need to survive the dorm life.

Thanks to Mrs. MC, The Bride, Munchkin and AL for helping me get the stuff for my room.  Next step getting it all in my room...


*Side note:  I'm sure The Mrs. would have loved to join us on our adventure, completing roll call, however, it seems that her friends always have more important places for her to be whenever we decide to go.

What I Learned Today

It is still possible to fall off your bike at age eighteen.

Today I was riding my bike and due to construction on my regular route, I decided to take the grass.  Bad idea, grass can hide holes which can and will cause your bike to tip and you to lose your balance and gracefully fall off into the grass...

What I Learned Today....

I need to start figuring out how I plan to decorate my dorm....

Actually, I had this epiphany yesterday when I decided to go shopping and cruised through the picture frames at Gordman's.  I really hadn't thought about the fact that I may want to get some of the more important features of the room to then coordinate the rest of the decorations.  Of course it might help if I found out my roommate's opinion on decorating....
