Sunday golf outing

Yes, it's November 16 and I went golfing today. WOW! What an absolutely gorgeous day! I haven't been for a couple of months and I was invited to golf with 3 people I didn't know, which always makes me very nervous, but I had fun anyway. Took me a while to loosen up, but I finally figured out they were just there to have fun, so it was all good. Had a good time... and the other girl (her name is also Jenn) is 6'3!!! Wow again! She was a lot of fun. The really bad part of was that we WALKED the ENTIRE 18 holes! Holy bat crap! Guess I've got my exercise in for the rest of the year.
SO. My next speech is a "ceremonial" speech. ...like a toast or acceptance speech or something along those lines. Any great ideas for me? Let me know!

what to do

Seriously. Or maybe what to write. I'm bored, tired of sitting here in the library killing time between classes and can't think of anything to write or say but feel like I need to.
I am having a huge amount of fun since I discovered Facebook. As Brandi said, it is a huge timesuck but I'm having so much fun. People I went to high school with are finding me... I've searched out a few, but don't have the guts to add them. Just seems kinda weird to me. Too stalker-ish, but I'm more than happy if they stalk me and add me! Which is weird, I know, but still... it keeps me with my warm fuzzy feeling that I'm not a creepy stalker person. Besides, there is this notion that I really don't care about most people I went to high school with. I really can't remember too many... had a guy add me that I went to HS with but I had to ask someone else if we did. I guess that's a sign that it's been a REALLY REALLY long time since I was in HS.
And now that I'm in college, it's funny how many of my fellow students (who are my kids' age) want to know if I'm on Facebook. They prolly just wanna see if I really do have kids and if they're a gorgeous as I say they are!
Well, since I'm in the library I think I'll go find a book. A co-worker told me about a funny book called "Bitsy and her Bait & BBQ". I have to read just based on the title! There's also one titled "Angry Housewives eating BonBons".

President Obama

Going back to my last entry, I couldn't do it. Election Day is the first Tuesday of November. That's when I voted ... right after math class this morning. No wait, no fuss, no muss. It was awesome! Electronic voting machines! Blessed be technology!!
I'm sitting here at work - 7:46pm MST and the electoral count is currently at 200 to 90. For 80+ years now (or 15 elections) the Washington Redskins have decided the outcome of the elections. If the Redskins lose their home game just prior to election day, a new political party will take office. If they win, the incumbant party stays. It's pretty amazing, but that's how it's happened for 15 elections - consistently (check snopes.com if you don't believe me)! So... it will be interesting to see if it holds true for 16 elections.
On to school ... my favorite subject ... I gave my second "informative" speech. I said earlier that I was going to do it on PB&J's, but my mom (thanks, mom!) came up with an even better idea - and it was a complete hit! With my class AND my teacher! My subject - "how to cook a turkey"! I got me a rubber chicken (couldn't really cook a real bird in class, duh!), made some stuffing (yes, the real stuff), went thru the whole schpeel... pick it out, thaw it, pull the guts out, clean it, stuff it, cook it, set a perfect table (for this I gave everyone a placemat, plate, napkin & fork), then ended it by giving everyone a piece of pumpkin cake. It was pretty freakin' awesome!
OH! I also got 101 on my last math test. yippee!!!
OH! and I gave in to the pressure and now have a 'facebook' page or wall or whatever it's called. It's a huge time suck! Holy cow!
UH OH... it's now 7:58 and the race is at 200 to 124... McCain is creeping up there (get it... creep(ing)) OY
K, more later. I'll try to be better, although I don't know why. Seems my time is going to Facebook, so who knows.
