Waiting on the B(C)S
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: November 30, 2008
I’m pretty sure that nothing was as stressful as being an OU football fan yesterday. First, the almost-upset at the Tech/ Baylor game, then the OK State game last night.
And now I have nothing to do until some computers, coaches, and other pollsters vote on who they think should go to the Big XII Championship.
Only [...]
Fundies
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: November 26, 2008
I wish I could tell you I really had something to write about in this post. I don’t. I just wanted everyone to know about the existence of Fundies. I discovered them today on MSN’s “Things We Don’t Want for Christmas” list and I think they are hilariously awesome. And if I thought I may [...]
(Bad) Luck of the Draw
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: November 25, 2008
My aunt called me to inform me that they had drawn names for Christmas. Starting last year, someone decided that we would each draw someone’s name and just get that one person a gift. Unfortunately, last year no one bothered to tell me since I was shipboard and I got gifts for everyone. So this [...]
Mall Walkers

I spent the weekend doing some promotional/ brand ambassador work, this time for Kay Jewelers and their Customer Appreciation Weekend. I basically got to stand at the door and try to get people to come in by luring them with the $19.99 promo items. I learned two things- 1) I don’t really ever want to [...]

Last night I went to bed early, with the intent of catching up on some sleep. Instead, I laid there thinking about things, including what I should blog about. See, I started to write yesterday, but couldn’t think of anything blog-worthy. While trying to fall asleep, I thought of a handful of little stories that [...]
The Shopping Spree
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: November 17, 2008
I may be one of the very few girls on the planet that hates shopping. The only time I do it is when I really need something, and only if I can go during the week. My Saturday morning trip to Wal-Mart to buy cough medicine was only out of dire need, and I typically [...]
Misery Loves Sitting on the Couch
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: November 16, 2008
I’m miserable. I’d been getting sick for the last week or so, but this morning The Cold came and knocked me on my rear end. I’ve spent the day sitting on the couch watching television with little kleenex squares shoved up my nose. Experience tells me that while sticking kleenex up your nose is not [...]
(Grand)Mama Drama: Part 5,238
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: November 13, 2008
So, I’ve had some Grandma drama over the last few months. It seemed that she had hopped onto the Crazy Train, and there was no stopping her. Or maybe she could be stopped, but I sure as hell wasn’t going to make the effort to try.
Anyway, yesterday I had a voicemail from my Grandma. I saw [...]

“It is a path that winds through everyone’s life, giving individuals a power to heal with what they have. But for this path to be of any value you must first do one thing… walk it.” ~Hanson
On Friday afternoon, I met my cousin on the Wichita State campus for The Walk. We were both pretty excited, [...]
