HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Been busy...

Yeah, I've been pretty busy lately. Work has been crazy, and will continue to be so, but I'd rather not post just to complain. Had my 27th birthday (why does that sound so old to me?), and thanks to a winning lottery ticket from my grandparents, I was able to treat myself to a new digital camera! I LOVE IT!!! I shipped my old camera down to my sister Heidi in NC; looks like it's working out okay for her, so that makes me happy. John moved in with us at the beginning of the month, and it's going quite well. Our thing seems to be going out to B-Dub's; I took this wonderful photo of him last week (it was just as appetizing to be there in person, let me tell ya). And a big congrats goes out to my father-in-law, Mr. Donald Cotter, who retired last Friday! Look for him soon at a Wal-Mart near you! Just kidding! :)

Grillin' Out

Mike and I made a big people purchase on Sunday--we bought a gas grill. We've wanted one for awhile and found a nice end-of-season deal. Mike christened it tonight by making chicken with mouth-watering dry rub. Yummy!!!

All out or not at all

So most of you that REALLY know me also know that when I tend to get into a TV show, I REALLY get into it. Honestly, I can go through my life up to this point and outline it by the TV show I was obsessed with at the time--Elementary school: MacGyver (hottie, even with the mullet!); Middle/High School: The X-Files (creepy, and Mulder is smokin'!); College: Farscape(F***ing brilliant. End of discussion.); etc. I also remember that right after I graduated from OSU, when Courtney and Lorrie and I were living together, we'd sometimes watch re-runs of "Felicity" on WE. Well, it's been a few years, but I've again been bitten by the "Felicity" bug. They had been running the re-runs again, and I found myself hurrying home from work (!) for a few weeks to catch what I could. Thank God for a resourceful husband who was able to score me the first and second season on DVD!!! I don't know what exactly it is about the show; the writing is great, the acting is great, and I just love that the show spans the exact four years that I was in college (although my life at the time was not nearly as dramatic as Ms. Porter's). I've been guilty of doing nothing but watching them (sometimes 5 episodes a night!) in the time before Mike gets home each evening--probably my own form of escapism since now I'm part of the "real world." I guess my news is that I just finished the last episode of season 2, so now I'm in limbo until we find seasons 3 & 4. Looks like I might have to do something constructive, like housework...

Ahhh, sweet revenge...

I was surprisingly calm during last night's 24-7 win, which was a much better feeling than I had last year during the OSU-Texas game. Maybe it was the five beers, I dunno. :) I could go on and on about how great a game it was, but I'll just sit back and let the media do that. Bring on Cincinnati!!!
