Again with the updates
Last night came and went. I thought, for about ten seconds, that I should probably sit down and write something... and then I didn't. It was a little frustrating. Not because I didn't want to write something; but because I didn't want to sit in front of my computer to do it.
You see... I got up very early in the morning to take Erin's brother to the airport. Again. Two times in two days. I am, you see, the best option for transporting people to and from airports early in the morning as I am a full-time student with a pretty flexible (on campus) job) with the ability to get out of things and sleep later in the day.
The outcome, I got home around 6:30 (having left around 4:30) and slept for an hour or two, then went to school before turning back around and (skipping out of work) coming home to sleep some more. When I woke up, I really felt like I needed, wanted more rest... but since Erin was home/getting home, I was awake for the rest of the night.
I did get to try a new "Rice Noodle Bowl" we found at Harmon's the other day. We also found Gluten Free waffles (of the toaster variety) only for me to remember that we moved (and by we, I really mean Erin) the toaster so that we lessened the chance of contaminating the food that I eat. Which means, we have Erin's toast, toaster (wheat based foods) and I get to figure out how to prepare (heat up and make crunchy) the non-wheat waffles that are now sitting in the freezer for me.
The rice noodles were actually pretty good. I think they were good in part because I don't have a taste-memory of wheat noodles anymore (it's been about two years now folks). I find it interesting that these changes are happening and that I am finding new foods tasty. Still a bit weary about a lot of foods, still checking labels like there is no tomorrow... but the outcome is proving to be rather nice. Nice. Yeah.
Not a lot to report. If you want to see some of what I am working on (or track progress on learning CSS) you can go to http://www.inordertowrite/TTDOAW/. The capital letters on the end of that URL line are important as the server it sits on is CASE sensitive when it comes to names, directories, and etc. This site is subject to change, a lot, and often, if you've gone and see it different than the last time, refreshing every couple of minutes may prove that the site is, again, different... especially if it is in the middle of the day.
Beyond that, not sure I have a lot to say at present...
Well, Mitt Romney threw his support behind John McCain. I am of the opinion that Barack Obama is going to the be the next president. I will not vote for McCain or Rodham-Clinton. So... I guess, if that is the choice (I don't believe that Rodham-Clinton will get her parties nomination) then I may go for another (in my life) third party candidate (e.g. Ron Paul if he really launches a 3rd party bid).
The Chairman of the Fed has told Congress that he expects that the economy is getting worse.
The President has signed another economic stimulus package and, apparently, has already started asking for additional money to help the economy.
Gas prices are still way, way too high.
My parents are still on a mission.
And Erin is still pregnant. If I haven't shared yet, her due date (according to the doctor) is September 28, 2008. We are excited.
