happy and sad

Many things to share/comment on.... 1. Two friends have recently had babies. One named Charlotte Annabelle and the other Annabelle Grace. These friends don't know each other, at least not that I know of. Strange that they both have Annabelle in the name, apparently it is going to be pretty popular these days. I have one friend who is going to have a baby any day now, I wonder if there will be any Annabelle there. 2. My computer should be here today! Although there will probably be some difficulties in receiving it as I don't think they will leave it without a signature, so I probably won't get it until tomorrow. 3. Earth Day is this weekend. I think I am going to go to the celebration here. Apparently Home Depot is giving away flourescent light bulbs this weekend, so go get some. 4. My friend Kristen and I were planning a great little weekend adventure to St. Augustine in May with the tickets we didn't use last summer because of my Grandma's death, but apparently the tickets are non-transferrable and so only Matt and I can use them. I was really excited, now I am disappointed and sad. 5. Last night we watched The Last King of Scotland. Most of it was pretty good, but then it got really gruesome and graffic. I turned away and then Matt fast forwarded through parts of it. 6. Another video that won't allow me to post it like the previous one. Enjoy! 7. Still sad about the whole VT thing.

I got an email from a friend at UVA the other day with a picture of our lab from 2002 when I started my Masters. It made my day. The other night I ordered a pretty new computer from Lenovo. My laptop is almost 5 years old and really just isn't cutting it anymore for all the picture moving and editing. I tried to convince my parents to buy me a new one, but they didn't seem to be up for that. It was worth a try. Computers are a lot cheaper these days. I got some free candy from the grocery store. It was supposed to be half off because it was Tuesday and Easter was on Sunday, but it rang up full price. So I went to customer service and because it rang up incorrectly it was free! I wish I had gotten a few more with the wrong price. Oh well.
