Here we go...

OK, so blogging has been on my todo list for about 2 years now - my original intention was to set up my own blogging server, that being half the fun of doing this. Since I haven't made the time to do that in 2 years, I think I can safely give up on that part of the idea...and since I told my friend Shelley that THIS weekend was going to be the weekend I started my blog...well here I go.

I'm starting this in the midst of a lingering cold (read: sinus and/or ear infection now developing). By Monday it will have been 10 days of symptoms which means I can go to the doctor and not pretend it's been 10 days...as much as I hate taking any sort of antibiotics, I know from past history this isn't going to go away on its own.

Besides illness, here's what's going on this week...

The Huskers

I just finished watching them lose 76-39 to Kansas. No, that is not a misprint, 76-39!!!! They have not lost 5 straight games since....well we're talking pre-WW2 era. After last week I really thought they might be coming around...it's inevitable that the coach will get fired at the end of the season now, and we will lose a years worth of recruiting. Non-Nebraska natives probably can't fathom what this downfall means, in a state that really only has its football team to follow. I guess nothing lasts forever....

Deal or No Deal

I do NOT watch this show on a regular basis, in fact I've only even seen it twice and once was over at a friend's house...but last night it happened to be on when I turned on the TV. I admit that no matter how stupid these game shows are I still get sucked in...what is so bad though is that unless you're incredibly unlucky in your initial picks, you can almost always walk out of there with $100,000 by taking the early deal. Now, I don't know about you, but if I could be guaranteed $100,000 by quitting early, rather than wait around for a VERY remote chance of getting somthing a bit higher (even a million!) I'd do it in a heartbeat. I can only think of how debt-free and easy I'd have it with an extra $100,000...winning $200,000 or even $1,000,000 wouldn't make any more real impact except possibly being able to retire earlier. But then maybe I shouldn't have just dedicated a whole paragraph to such a bad show :)

Food

It is wonderful to have a boyfriend that knows how to cook, and especially that is willing to cook stuff that I like...last night we had one of our favorite salad creations, which when you break it down pretty much has everything I could possibly want in a meal (lettuce, apple slices, craisins, cashews, amazing poppyseed dressing, and sliced grilled chicken). I ate the leftover for lunch....yummy!

And now it's time to go re-install one of my computers as it has been slowly degrading over the past few months...more to come.

(There Shelley - I finally did it!)
