As this weather gets colder I'll start to make oatmeal for breakfast YUM! (Got to have raisins in it.)
Just a couple of years ago I would never have agreed with this.
Art Bell > George Noorey
Growing up as a Notre Dame fan, I'm REALLY conflicted about this.
I actually like his guest hosts Richard Syrette, George Knapp, and Dave Schrader as well as I like Noory, but I'll give you the Art>George argument. Connie Willis I can pass on.
Last night, the daughter and I went to a presentation about highly selective colleges. Here are our reviews of the 5 college interviewers/recruiters:
ND - Presenter seemed pretty good but was pretty much the cliche of a ND alumni - Somewhat overweight and wearing a bright green ND sweater. Looked like he just came from a football game.
MIT - Overly nerdy. It was cool that her husband's (she met her spouse at MIT) college roommate has won a Nobel Prize, though.
Dartmouth - Coolest guy. Not sure if she'd like to go to school in the wilderness of New Hampshire, though.
Northwestern - Very awkward and boring presenter.
Yale - Liked to hear himself talk.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
The California guys thought it was really funny when my dad got stung by a scorpion in the middle of the night while on army training maneuvers in the Mojave Desert back in WWII. My dad did not find it as funny.
I love oatmeal and always have. I eat it every day, sometimes for lunch lol. I'm not a big fan of that overnight refrigerator oatmeal but will do that if I think morning is going to be a clusterfuck. And it is a good way to get me to eat other stuff that is good for you which I probably wouldn't otherwise, like cinnamon, blueberries, ground flax seed, walnuts, etc. My kids had me add peanut butter to it when they were trying to help me bulk up.
So, if I have a really long posting gap it might mean I fell off the roof and am totes ded. Weather forecast indicates that I need to do my semi-annual roof cleaning walkabout climb today.
Such many leaves, such many.
Such many leaves, such many.
Got an email from a local alumni saying he won't be at any gamewatch this weekend cause he is going down for the game. He's 90 and class of 1948 .
Lol we were there for Notre Dame. Husband had never seen the USC game. As a student, he was studying abroad (no, not a broad) the year they were in South Bend when he was a student. Plus, they have changed ticket sales so it was easier for us to get seven together for the game. But all the USC people we met were actually pretty nice (and I hate USC lol). Bonus: Chicago played "Saturday in the Park" and "25 or 6 to 4" with the marching band at half.
You learn to shake out your shoes before putting them on if you spend much time in the Hill Country of Texas...The California guys thought it was really funny when my dad got stung by a scorpion in the middle of the night while on army training maneuvers in the Mojave Desert back in WWII. My dad did not find it as funny.
Sounds par for the course. We all really liked our campus visit to MIT except the oldest kid who was actually the one picking a college at the time.
Carver's burns the mods!!! Way to get that f-bomb in there.
