Just regular kinds of stuff that happened (that doesn’t fit in other categories).

Shirt Shrunk

Posted on July 31, 2005 | Leave a comment

So last night I was wearing one of the new shirts I bought on Friday and it just seemed so small (and it seemed more than ample enough when I tried it on). How could it have shrunk that much?!? Today when I was picking up around the house I saw the tag sitting on the counter, it’s says ‘small’! The one I tried on (and the other one I bought) was a ‘large’. I feel much better now, especially since it turns out that only one of them doesn’t fit and since I didn’t actually shrink it, I can probably exchange it! :)

The road to East Lansing

Posted on July 30, 2005 | 1 comment

Had a great day yesterday. Stopped at the Howell Outlet Mall, got the exact shoes I was looking for and some stuff I wasn’t looking for: shirts, sunglasses and some bowls. Weather was great until we got to EL then it was drizzly on and off :(

Got chinese (I love Charlie Kangs!) and ice cream and long islands and saw some friends we hadn’t seen in a while. Found an Egypt book on the discount rack at Barnes and Noble so I’ll be looking that over. Never did get those chicken wings I wanted though…

You don’t hear people mention The Bermuda Triangle much anymore do you? It used to be such a big mystery…

Shuttle debris not unusual…

Posted on July 27, 2005 | 1 comment

So I didn’t hear any news about there being some small debris falling off at the launch yesterday.

NASA said it would know by Sunday whether debris that fell off the space shuttle Discovery’s external fuel tank during this week’s launch damaged the spacecraft as it blasted into orbit. – CNN

They make it sound like it’s not a big deal. And if this wasn’t the first flight in a long while I probably wouldn’t think twice. But I’d really like the flight to go 100% perfect so the program can get moving again.

Lift off!!!

Posted on July 26, 2005 | 1 comment

The Space Shuttle went off as planned today. I was just finishing up at the doctor with two minutes to launch so took a few minutes to watch. It was a beautiful and thrilling thing to watch as always…

I watched until the solid rocket boosters and fuel tank had been disconnected and the ship was traveling over 17,000 mph (that’s almost 5 miles per second) I never get tired of seeing that.

Don’t Be Afraid… Be Ready!

Posted on July 23, 2005 | 1 comment

So I’ve seen a billboard that says this but I keep forgetting the address (which is pretty simple http://ready.gov/) and I finally remembered it once I got home. It’s a Homeland Security site with Ready Business and Ready Adult sections. It’s got a coming soon for a Ready Kids section which I’m assuming will be up soon since September is National Preparedness Month. It’s got suggestions on supplies and what to keep on hand (easy access to medicines and stuff) and brochures, posters and other things along those lines. It’s not just terrorism-type stuff there’s some natural disaster info too. (I just thought it was time for a PSA).

Later: This site is now a FEMA site and after the marketing of “Ready.gov” they now require the “www” in the address and the other links don’t work now either.

We will be together forever…

Megan RyanOne of the last of my painted rocks entries (see some other painted rock posts).

So when I first saw this rock and noticed the way it was written I thought that something happened to Meghan, maybe she died or was in a coma or something, but later when I was looking at the images I didn’t think see it that way so much. But now as I’m writing this post I feel it again. Something about Meghan makes me feel like she’s in the past tense (especially the last sentence), I get the idea that Meghan was never going to see this rock and it made me wonder why? What do you think when you read it?
