Eating and Drinking:

Browsing:

• MSNBC - Em
• Blogs - Em
• Allrecipes - Em

Wearing:

• New Balance (W801BTC) (These will actually arrive Monday!) - Em
• Hanes pocket tees (These are the softest tee shirts ever!) - Dave
• L.L. Bean flip flops - Em (I now own 4 pairs, but the Lobsters and Dragonflies are my 2 favorites. There were a couple more pairs that I wanted but they ran out - completely. So I will wait until next season to complete my collection.)
• Tevas - Dave
• Maybelline Great Lash mascara - Em (In case you were wondering! This is an old school favorite.)

What we're doing in our free time (besides the usual necessary stuff):

• Quad riding - DAVE and Em
• Trying out new recipes - (Some favorites include: peach pound cake, peanut butter brownies, chicken and dumplings, chicken salad, egg salad, just to name a few.) - Em
• Surfing the net
• Blogging - Em
• Playing cards with Mom and Aunt Linda (I wish we could do this more often.)

Movies seen recently in the theater (not so much to report in this area):

• Lady in the Water - free using my Greenbacks from Piggly Wiggly
• Pirates of the Carribean

Mom and I wanted to see Little Miss Sunshine, but it hasn't reached the remote city of Columbia, South Carolina yet. There might be two more out right now that I would like to see, but all in all there aren't very many decent ones in the theater. I guess I may give in to the hype and see Snakes on a Plane and, yes, I admit I would really like to see Taladega Nights. I'm still catching up on last years winners.
