Random Musings

Saw this license plate the other day: FOTOLDY -- it made me think of Lucia :-)

This bumper sticker on another car made me laugh:
"Laughter is the best medicine. And your face is curing the world"

Allan will finish school and start a new job in January. The fact that I am writing this today in the future tense implies that it will be January 2008. His offer letter, however, mistakenly said January 2007. Looks like he's been missing nearly a whole year of work! ;-)

Apartment-hunting continues. We are in love with the townhome-style apartments of a newer complex not too far from where I work-- with the den and garage on one floor, living room and kitchen above that, and bedrooms and bathrooms at the top. Sure, it might be a bit of a pain to have to lug the vacuum cleaner up and down 3 flights of stairs every week, but it's worth it to be able to compartmentalize the different aspects of our lives like that. AND it'll be great not to have neighbors either above or below us (or worse yet-- both above AND below!).

I have learned that I obtained the majority of my education in modern pop culture and music through The Simpsons. I've lost count of how many times I've heard a song on the radio and exclaimed: "I heard (a spoof of) that on the Simpsons! I had no idea it was a REAL song!" So, I guess Bart and Homer and clan have some redeeming and educational value after all :-P

My son is quite the budding photographer. Allan recently got a new phone-- a Motorola RIZR, one of those really sleek and gorgeous slider phones. Todd enjoys playing with the 2MP camera feature of it and snapping pictures. Maybe we'll get him one of those toy digital cameras that are real cameras yet sturdy enough to survive the grubby hands of an active toddler.

I seem to have run out of random musings that have been brewing all week. So I'll end this post with a simple wish:

Happy Columbus Day!
