The lighter side of Saturday...
Andy and I caught 'The Dark Knight' matinee this afternoon- even better the 2nd time around!
Aaaah- 'Bale-icious!' 
A Challenge
I think Michael Savage should be required to be on the show "30 Days." If you are not familiar with this TV show, individuals with opposite views must live together for 30 days to see if all of their judgemental, ignorant views can be transformed into acceptance and new ideas.

I think Michael Savage should be required to spend 30 days living every moment with a child who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. After these remarks:
"On his broadcast, Savage called autism "a fraud, a racket ... In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. ... They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. ... Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot."
He really shouldn't have a choice.

Song in my head
Lately, I've been obsessed with India.arie's version of 'The Heart of the Matter'- especially the following lyrics:
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm
With everything that's going on in society lately, it's good to remember how far a hug can go or a good laugh with a friend... I have to keep reminding myself to pay it forward, whenever I can...

So I think I wanna dance...
with TWITCH!
I have never watched the show "So You Think You Can Dance" until this season and I must admit, I'm hooked. The reason I'm hooked is none other than: Twitch! He just rocks it out week after week. It's amazing how he can make it look so flawless. I'll keep tuning in as long as he's still flowin!

Road Trips...
While Andy was in Ouray, CO this week attending a Toyota FJ Summit with a friend, I decided to travel up North to Waverly and spend some quality time with the folks.
My mom and I picked up her cousin at the MN airport on Wed. and spent the day shopping, eating good food and relaxing. We found some great bargains at the outlet mall and I 'forgot' that I was on a financial diet right before Vegas! But I ended up finding some cute outfits for Vegas so it worked out.
I also saw The Dark Knight- and have to say, it was really good. Bale knocks it out! I'm ready to see it again with Andy... Made it back to DSM today just in time to get ready for another work week. One more week and it's Vegas time baby!
