Current Events

Sunday is my day for work and errands.  I just spent an hour an a half reading through some work material.  Ok, I really tried to spend all that time reading through this stuff but my short attention span of a fruitfly got the best of me.  Maybe I should shut down my computer while I read?  And maybe not listen to music because I tend to listen to the music instead of paying attention to what I’m reading.  I’ve always had that problem, which is why I always had to study in a completely quiet library.  And no, not the UGLi — that was the worst place to study during college.

Geraldine Ferraro passed away yesterday.  As a woman, I think she’s very inspirational, although admittedly I haven’t really followed her recently.  However, she’s got an incredible legacy and was a beautiful woman.  Media’s been going over her life and this legacy and how much of a pioneer she was.  That’s all fine and dandy, but I couldn’t help but notice her rad outfit when she was running for VP:

North Dakota, our neighboring state, has been deemed the best state to live in this country.  I had no idea ND had such great stats.  The only thing missing is the cultural diversity component, which is a big reason why I wouldn’t want to live there.  But, apparently that’s not a factor in this contest.

North Dakota:  Best State to Live In

It’s been nice and sunny lately in Minny.  But it’s deceiving.  From the inside, the outdoors looks bright and inviting:

Don’t let it fool you!  It’s only in the low 30s today and was yesterday, too.  Not good for a girl who doesn’t like to wear gloves and hats — the wind gets you!
