The great thing about having your own blog is that you get to just kind of toss out random thoughts and, for some reason, folks will read them. Here goes:

1. Today I was listening to Pandora Radio (the Guster station) and heard a song called Brand New Colony, by The Postal Service. It was a combo of Super Mario Brother’s sounding music and the cool music at the end of the UPS whiteboard commercials. It kind of blew my mind a little.
2. The word “temporary” means something entirely different in Austin, TX than it does in Nashville, TN… like “permanent“: as in this henna on my hand.
3. Toothpaste really does take the red out of blemishes.
4. People really read this blog and it makes me feel so good. You guys are very kind, even when you don’t agree with me.
5. I’m not one to complain about updated technology, but I dislike the new Facebook layout so much I’ve all but stopped visiting the site. Thanks, Facebook! I’m so much more productive now!
6. Team Newman is coming up on our third year of marriage and I’m freaking out because I can’t remember if we agreed to give, or not to give, gifts. Um, Dave? A little help on this one?
7. I guess it’s the economy, but folks look so weary now-a-days. I hate that. People deserve to be happy; wish I could fix it.
8. I’m reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss and I’M IN LOVE with this book. Like, I would marry Eats, Shoots & Leaves if I was not already married to a GroovySoup.  I’m a little embarrassed about how many times I’ve laughed out loud (for real) while reading a tiny book about proper grammar usage and the public exploitation of the apostrophe.
9. I’m grateful for being a person who chooses to see the positive; a trait I learned from my momma and granny.
10. Sprite is very good. So is orange juice.
