quick diversion

hola from philly! things are great in the city of brotherly love.

i really don't mean to hi-jack the wedding spotlight, but since we're getting within the 5 month mark of mine and kevin's wedding, i wanted to pass along the details, especially so you out-of-towners can start planning your trips to st. louis if you'll be able to come in.

here you go:

and also, can i ask you to please pass along the info. to your parents, aunts, uncles? i don't have any emails for the hennessey family, and neither does kevin, so please help us get the word out!

okay, i'm done. muchas gracias for letting me include this little self-(+ kevin) advertisement. take care! hope you're all well....

Procrastination

So it's really disappointing when I am trying to procrastinate from finals only to find no new posts. Y'all should work on that...I could use some distractions. :)

Can't wait to see everyone in ~12 days! Let the countdown begin!

4 months later....

NCAA and Colbert

It's been a while with out any posts, so in honor of my office loosing all productivity for the next three weeks I would like to say that I only care about winning my bracket (not so much in the games themselves). And in a nod to all you Texans, I've put Texas to win in one of my brackets. Sorry about Texas A&M though, I have them going pretty far but losing in the elite 8. And is Austin Peay in Austin? Never heard of it. And, although the school I work for got a number 3 seed, I still did not put them to win the tourny.

Any other big picks out there? It's a bummer that Mizzou didn't make it and although a really long shot, that SLU didn't make it either (or really didn't ever have a chance this year).

Also,
I saw that Stephen Colbert is shooting his show from Philly during their primary next month. Ruthie and I were talking and we are jealous that we can't be town to possibly see the show.

TAXES!

I must admit.... when it comes to doing things with numbers, I am probably one of the most clueless people on the planet. I manage to screw up numerical things all the time and I don't like it. The other thing that I don't like is spending money on things that are dumb... and paying a lot to get your taxes done is VERY dumb... which is why, for the first time ever, I decided to use TurboTax (with initial trepidation) for my '07 taxes. Not only was it easier than I was expecting, but now I'm getting a SWEET federal refund! TurboTax is a genius. It is cheap. It is my new boyfriend. Don't tell Kevin.

Is EVERYONE Sick??

Is it just us on the East Coast, or are you all coming down with strange illnesses, too? I mean, seriously, Kevin and I feel like our bodies have been poisoned by an unknown strand of death today, and have felt some oncoming symptoms (sore throat, headache, achiness, fever) for quite some time. Just about everyone in my office at work has gone through this weird sickness, where you just feel like a general piece of crap for about 3-4 days at the height of it, then things start to improve. We can hardly move and if we didn't need to feed ourselves and pee, there probably wouldn't be much of any kind of getting up.

If it hasn't hit you yet, look out... it's on the move and it's sweeping the nation.

Super Tuesday

I don't know how many of you are following the Presidential primaries and caucuses, but today is the date of Missouri's Primary (unfortunately TX, PA and KY have to wait until March 4th, April 22nd and May 20th respectively).

For those of you living in MO, please go vote. In many ways the primary/caucus system can be unfair, but this year more people actually have an opportunity to make their voices heard (thanks to tight races).

Happy voting!
