I'm especially partial to the pink and yellow wedges since I do most of the html/design layouts here. UGH. Hate is a strong word.... but I hate IE 'most' of the time :)
For the geeks...

I happened to glance down on the way to work Monday morning and noticed my odometer read 144999.... I'm a number person, these things excite me :) So I pulled out my camera and waited for the numbers to turn over :)
* Yes, notice how much gas I have. T drove home from camping Sun and pulling in the driveway he says "You don't have any gas." :) Thanks T!
For the rest of the ride my mind kept thinking about numbers :) How many miles were on the car when I bought it? How many miles have I driven each year?
Purchase Date: 25 July 2002
Purchase Miles: 41,600
Yes, Blue & I have gone 103,400 miles in just under 6 years! The breakdown.
Kinda interesting to look at. Seems as I've gotten older the road trips have slowed down. Also interesting how marriage affects the mileage :) It's not that we're taking Todd's car - Blue is usually the chosen mode of transport when we travel together :)
How you may ask do I have all these numbers! Cause I'm a dork - and write it down every time I get gas :) This is something my parents have always done, and something my bro and I started doing when we got our own cars. Friends always asked us in HS why we did it and we both answered 'Because our Dad does it'. The funny thing is I'm sure my Dad's answer would be 'Because my Mother does it.' So it's a Fath thing, generations of us have little gas books and track the date/mileage/gallons/total. I wish I was also writing down the price - that would be interesting to look back on! (I know I could figure it out! 8-4-02 $1.259/gal!!)
There's my fun with numbers. I'm done now :)

My Next Thirty Years
Posted in on by
written by: Phil Vassar
performed by: Tim McGraw
I think I’ll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now it’s time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years
Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done
Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears
And I’ll do it better in my next thirty years
My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what I’m doing here
In my next thirty years
Oh my next thirty years, I’m gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe I’ll remember my next thirty years
My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years

Quotes on age.
Posted in on by
1. My mom usually buys me a desk calendar for Christmas. I tend to keep up for the first week of January....then I'm behind for the rest of the year :) Anyways - on January 4th the quote really struck me and I've been holding onto it. It's even going on my 'vision board'. (more on that eventually!)
"We turn not older with years, but newer every day." Emily Dickinson.
With this year holding the 'biggest' birthday in 8 years* - things about age and 'older' really catch my attention. I like this. I want to focus on being 'newer every day'.
2. The song Strawberry Wine was playing on the radio early this year. I've heard this song dozens of times - but this time.... this line popped...
"I remember when thirty was old" Deana Carter
Wow. That's it. Everyone has been asking me how I feel about turning 30 this year. Really it doesn't bother me, if anything I'm excited. Why would I not want to be 30. Oh yeah... cause I used to think 30 was OLD. Now that I'm here, I realize it's not exactly what I pictured it to be like. I'm not old by any means! I wonder what 40 and 50 will feel like?
*Yes 22 is a huge birthday. When your 21 - whether it's your birthday or you've been 21 for nine months - people always seem to make a big deal. When seriously after a month of being 21, you are over it - so this gets old. Once you hit 22 you get to escape that 'OH! You're 21 :) How exciting' stuff. Very big birthday indeed!

Wow - Can't believe 2008 is close to halfway over! I promise to catch you up on what T & I have been up to this year! I don't promise it'll be in any kinda of chronological order though. We'll start with some teasers....
My favorite pic of AB from our family trip to the Outer Banks in May. (14 mos)
T's second fish of the day today. We spent the weekend down at the river celebrating my birthday. Guess the fish don't understand they are supposed to be biting the birthday girl's hook! For the year. J-1, T-2.

Check out my first small-mouth of the season! (With my luck it'll prob be the last too!) It was a little bit chilly on the water today - but with my 5 layers of clothes I was cozy :) Too bad we think this was the only guy in the water :) At least he decided to bite my line!!
