what I mean when I say, "it's been one of those days..."

First off, I would like to make known that I disapprove of "people" being referred to as "accessories", as stated in a sentence on this morning's traffic report: Tickets are being issued to drivers in the HOV lane without their accessory person.

for the love.

Warning! Red light indicators flashing on your car's dashboard actually DO require immediate attention. Slow down, pull over, call for help. If you don't, your car WILL break down. If not immediately, eventually. And at the worst possible moment.

Special thanks to the following for making this day bareable: Buddy at Bailey's Wrecker Service, for being precisely on time. I hear that never happens. He was also a very pleasant conversationalist. Also to Al at Crest Honda for the friendly taxi service from Crest to my office. He even stopped at Maggie's Cafe in Brentwood for me so I could get some lunch! Now THAT'S service. One to Bud - my Crest Honda serviceman. Friendly, reliable, and efficient. And one more to the City of Gallatin for making the Conference Drive exit off Vietnam Vets such a convenient place to pull over. Hats off to those precious tax payers.

I've never had a more pleasant break-down experience. Thanks guys!

I cannot end this post without sending out a congratulations to Irnel: MetroCenter Taco Bell's "champion of the week". Ya'll go on out there and patron this young man (?) for the exceptional work he is doing. I'm sure it'll be one of the best tacos you'll ever eat.

This just in: it has come to my attention that with the retirement of president Milton Sewell of Freed-Hardeman University, a change to the student handbook has been implemented. Students are now allowed to wear shorts to class.
Those liberals.
They can also wear distressed jeans, but only those without holes.
Nope, still conservative.
Whew.
It is uncomfirmed if this change is directly related to the resignation of Pres. Sewell.
Conspiracy? You decide.

Are you serious about those changes or just making it up. It sometimes hard to tell.
Lisa said…
Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Did they really change the handbook, or is this just a very funny joke of yours?
Lisa said…
Um, this comment is from Lisa. I can't figure out how to use my other blog. Sorry. This is actually Nathan's blog. (If only you'd allow anonymous comments, then I could sign in with my real blog--the WordPress one.)

Emily....are you drinking vanilla extract while blogging? just wondering.

I wouldn't blame ya, btw, considering.

When you kinda get the cobwebs out after the fun day of the year, you might want to consider moving your superior blog to Wordpress...it'll make your life better!
Emily Gray said…
John, sometimes I do not understand your words. You exist on a higher plain I think.
Not ready to make the jump to wordpress though. You'll be the first to know!

Hey Lisa c/o KFC! The tidbit about FHU may or may not be true. I heard it from a coworker who went to Freed who heard it from her younger sister who went to Freed. It is...we'll say, third hand knowledge. It's like that song...'heard it from a friend (coworker) who heard it from a friend (sister) who heard it from another you been messin' around (they been wearin' their shorts...) Cool - it's like Makin' Music! sorry.

Mike, all comments in this post are reported as true. Except for the last one which is unconfirmed, but possibly true.

I'm glad everything worked out well for you during your "breakdown"!! I used to take my Honda (man, that was a loooonnnggg time ago) out to Trickett in Rivergate (where we purchased it) for oil changes and stuff and they would drive me back to work in their nifty van. They were always very nice but they never stoppped so I could get a meal or even a coffee for that matter!

"Gallagher and Nicklaus for an even dearer FHU!"

no pressure over capuccino

This morning, my iPod played this song for me. My iPod has been playing this for me quite frequently. Weird considering it's on 'shuffle'. For some reason, my iPod likes this song. For some reason, I like this song. I have a special affinity for songs that reference Jesus and the Bible written by people who don't profess to be Christians (another great one is Dave Matthews' "A Christmas Song"). It's always interesting to see these figures from a secular point of view. I googled the lyrics this morning, because Alanis is Canadian :-p Some of the most important words were not what I previously thought they were. And now I like it even more. Disclaimer: I don't pretend to understand this song completely (especially the origin of the title), but I really like that it makes me think. Any intuitive comments about the meaning of this song will be rewarded with great awe. Side note: all the "90's" references, I think, are meant to convey ...

local Nashville girl turns 30...

...and the intersection of Murfreesboro Rd. and Thompson Ln. wins "No. 1 site for car accidents in Metro Nashville." Coincidence?? I think not. When something this great happens, everyone wants a piece of the action. Finally, the happiest day of the year has come. After a whole weekend of pre-party celebrating, my big day is here, and bigger than ever. I am thirty today. It's been a long road. I thirty year road. I worked hard to get here. Survived countless potential car accidents, dodged all possible life-threatening illnesses, and legions of unknown potential mortal hazards just to be here today. Not everyone can say that. I'm not even kidding actually. I feel really blessed to have made it this far; witnessing tragedy around me, but never really coming face to face with it. I'm not really sure why I get to lead such a charmed life while the world around seems to be crumbling. All I know is I'm thankful. Details to come on why this is the B-E-S-T birthday ...

you are what you see

If you visit here regularly, you may (or may not) have noticed something. I don't blog about t.v. shows. This is because I don't really watch t.v. that much. Yes, I have one, and yes, I have cable. And yes, I do, on occasion, decide to sit down and relax by voluntarily turning off my brain and turning on that blackhole box. But I don't have a show . I don't want a show. I want to explain why. This post is dedicated to those of you out there who have a show, have too many shows, or think you need a show. And you all know I know you know who you all are... Top Ten reasons why you do not need a show: 10. You are what you see. This could be bad if you are watching - well anything. Unless you are watching your own reality t.v. show, and then that would be, just, meta - and therefore redundant, and also a little bit egomaniacal . But I digress. 9. Studies show watching teevee produces less brain activity than sleeping. It also has an adverse affect on your ability to discern...
