Random silliness…

1. Our Garmin GPS took me on some odd side trips this last week in Chicago – no way is a gas station in the middle of a residential neighborhood, and Walmart is not in a condo!  I am seriously considering a new one, maybe moving away from Garmin and Doris (what the Glitter Glue Princess calls the voice on the GPS – named after the secretary on the Charlie and Chocolate Factory movie).  If anyone truly loves their GPS, please tell me about it below – I am all ears…
2. My 18th anniversary is on Monday.  Wow – we MUST have a good thing going, right?
3. My birthday (the big 4-0) is the second saturday after that, and I have to fly out for work on it.  Fortunately, I have to go to Anaheim for a food science convention, and I am bound determined to spend part of my birthday doing something at disneyland that I never get to do at disney world – ride roller coasters!  For free!  With two roller coaster averse people in my house, I NEVER get to ride them.  Ever.  Sure the Princess is mad at me for going, but she wouldn’t want to do what I plan to do anyway.  Regardless, she has a list of things that must be purchased to compensate her for not being able to go.  I just need to figure out where all the pressed penny machines are and make a ton of them….!
4. Once I get back from CA, I’m having a reunion with my old room-mates from college.  Apparently we all live in Michigan now, so we are going to the Botanical Garden for a little “get to know you again” time.
