It's list time...I find it's an easier way to organize thoughts rather than rambling, which I'm also good at...

1) I never complain about gas prices, but I'm pretty annoyed by the recent wave of gas price raises because I have to drive to Fredonia and back twice this weekend. It usually takes about half a tank to make the trip just once, therefore it will cost me approximately $40, let alone the other driving I might do. Maybe I'll fill up at the res on the way back the second time. Shout-out to (e:Anne) for making one of the trips there with me. How about we take your car....?? :)

2) It really annoys me that people hit their brakes when they see a trooper on the side of the highway giving someone a ticket. Do people honestly think that the trooper is going to say to the person being pulled over, "You know, on second thought, I'm going to let you go, and go chase that person who just flew by me at 85 miles per hour"?

3) I'm pretty much back on track with running and am finally starting to see SOME results. It would make the biggest difference if I started eating better. I know that my body could be different if I stopped eating certain things, but I consider having a delicious reward (or three) as being one of the best parts of being a runner. I think a lot of runners feel that way. Yay, metabolism!

4) Can't wait to Dine Out for Life next week with (e:Mike) and whomever else may join us :)

5) I'm so sick of seeing this asshole loser's face all over the freakin television. Stop shoving it down our throats, stupid media.

6) So my friend Ashley is sort of setting me up with someone. She's still in high school and she wants me to meet her band teacher. I'm pretty sure her only criteria is that we're both single music teachers, and that he saw my picture and thought I was cute. I don't know how much we have in common other than being Fredonia graduates and teaching, but that's always a start. I feel sort of weird about it...I've never really done this before. At least we aren't going to dinner or something. He's just going to be there during a rehearsal we're having, so I'll probably say hello to him afterwards or something. But still...it seems like it might be awkward! Plus he's 29. What if he wants to get married right away? Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself.

7) I love getting my hair cut. If I was rich I would definitely pay someone to wash and style my hair every day. I'm pretty sure it's the most relaxing thing on Earth. I love when people touch my hair. I've never had a boyfriend who did it enough. That's gotta change. My hair is pretty! It needs to be adored!

8) I used to hate Opie and Anthony and resented that they took Shredd and Ragan's spot. I've since discovered that I definitely prefer S & R in the afternoon because I can hear more of it, and I've started to enjoy O & A for the most part. They're about the only thing I can tolerate in the morning besides NPR.

9) It's late. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SABRES
