rayvyn2k...you're team number ONE!!! Woooohooooooooooooo!!!!! My favorite team has eluded the "fourth place curse" on The Amazing Race and have raced themselves from worst to first! Unfortunately, it was a non-elimination leg, so the team I hate the most who came in LAST--will stick around for another leg.
Next week, the two hour season finale!
I am leaving on Thursday night to go to Ft. Lauderdale for the weekend to visit my family and friends. I will get to see my new grandbaby and my "old" grandbaby, too! W00T! There are plans for a Saturday night dinner with some dear friends which ought to be a blast!
It looks like I'll be dodging the remnants of Ivan...it's predicted to dump a shitload of rain on Middle Tennessee right after I leave...heh. It looks like my "hurricane repellant" mojo is still working!
I have to find something to read on the plane...gads, I don't want to go to the bookstore...but I might have to stop tomorrow night.
Or, I could take my notebook and work on the next chapter of my fic...hmm.
Random thoughts:
I heard on the radio today that the "Farmer's Almanac predicts this winter will be cold and snowy. Oh, joy.
I am trying to talk my husband into taking a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Minneapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime convention. We talked about taking a short trip to Chattanooga for our anniversary...I crunched some numbers and if we skip that we can put that money (plus a couple hundred more) into a fund for the con. It's a con with Neil Gaiman (one of our favorite authors) and dedicated to his most famous comic epic, Sandman. Check out the link: http://www.fiddlersgreencon.org/ If you haven't read the Sandman graphic novels-- run, don't walk to the store and get them. Also his novel, "American Gods" is highly recommended. Oh, and Neverwhere is another awesome read. All of his works are listed here: http://www.neilgaiman.com/books/books.asp I <3 Neil Gaiman.
I'm such a fangirl.
Alan Rickman is so fucking hot.
I'm seeing a lot of construction around TN these days and I hope that this state doesn't go the way Florida went...paving over all the green places.
Guess that's all for now.

Date: 9/15/04 07:21 am (UTC)Tell me something I didn't know!!! LOL!!! I'm on a mad hunt for "Close My Eyes". I went to Best Buy to only find out that you can only get it through thier web site. GAH!! I'm going to Suncoast today to see if they have it (luckily I have a gift certificate to the mall so can use that, as they are a bit on the pricey side.
As far as the Amazing Race- LOVE IT!!!!! I want Chip and Kim to win, they seem cool. I hope the bowling moms do well- it will be nice to see someone other then a pair of models kick some ass and show everyone that "joe America" can do something cool!!! I can't stand the other two couples. They are both whiney brats and both deserve to be eliminated!! Colin and Kristie are just the worst!! I was in shock when I heard that it wasn't an elimination round! I can't wait to see the finale! I love this show almost as much as "the mole". wOOt!!!
