Springlike

Posted under Bloomington, family, School Comments Off

A whole weekend spent in town!  I was able to go to the Farmer’s Market (sweet potatoes) and Goodwill with Jenn, take two solo bike rides, spend some time getting our garden area ready for planing and having an early semester celebration with Tim at Casablanca, a yummy Moroccan restaurant on 4th.  Tim has a few more papers left to turn in this week and then has a WHOLE WEEKEND before Summer Session I starts.  He doesn’t need them(cuz he’s smart enough already), but send him brainy thoughts if you think of it.

Retirement

Posted under family, work Comments Off

As of April 30, my dad will officially be retired after working for 37 years in the same position at the same library.  I will never work for 37 years anywhere and I’m not even really sure if I’ve found the right career path.  But I was able to take part in the festivities during a quick trip to Colorado and we all can’t wait to hear the fishing tales yet to come.

Let’s Pass Along the Viral Video Fun

Posted under Uncategorized 2 Comments

Ok, this is NOT Sarah… it is her husband who should be doing his homework…  However, my friend Mr. Suchy passed along the wonderful video of Rick Astley doing Never Gonna Give You Up. This is going around the Internet like wild fire, so I thought we should continue the wave.  So here goes.

You got RickRoll’d!

We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what’s I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guyI just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve know each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching
But you’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Repeat Chorus

Give you up, give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give,
Never gonna give, give you up

Last four lines repeated

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Chorus times three

OMG… Barack Obama was @ Nicks

Barack Obama on Kirkwood

Well, Sarah is leaving for Indy for a night to visit a friend… but just minutes ago she was 10 feet away from Barack Obama. On his way through Indiana, Barack stopped at Armstrong Stadium to witness the start of the women’s Little 500 race. After staying there for some time, his bus made its way down to Kirkwood where 1000′s of people waited. Sarah, working on Kirkwood, was able to run down and snap some photos…

Obama was at Nicks playing Sink the Bizmark…. or maybe just shaking hands and kissing babies.

So Sarah is psyched! It was an exciting day.
