A few random thoughts to encapsulate the weekend

July 12, 2009

*I saw a tow truck with the name “Unique Towing Co.” written on the side of it. I mean…really?! Since when is the ‘art’ of towing considered unique? Isn’t there only one way to do it? Are you assuring your customers, “Don’t worry. We’re not going to tow your car like those other tow tucks. We jack your car and hitch up UNIQUELY.”? Weird.

*Lindsay Lohan is just gross. And sad. And…gross.

*I fulfilled a life long dream today when I purchased these shoes at Strange Cargo in Wrigleyville.

*A vendor selling peanuts at the Cubs game did his whole sales pitch in a Harry Carray voice, complete with head shaking. He deserved a standing ovation.

*There is a show on TLC called ‘The World’s Tallest Children.’ I watched a preview and almost shed tears. The emotional territory is not conducive with my Sunday evening chillaxing.

*Why do encased meats taste so delicious?

*The fact that Lauren Conrad from MTV’s The Hills has made The New York Times Bestsellers List as an ‘author,’ makes me consider a career in reality television. Let’s tally the points:
Kelly: College education + journalism degree + communications degree + 6 years work experience = dumbfounded.  All of this versus some California girl that let MTV film 4 months of her senior year of high school. UNBELIEVABLE.

*It was WONDERFUL to visit with family this weekend at my family reunion.

*I’m getting married in two months! Tonight Fitz and I met up with his cousin David, who will be officiating the ceremony. We discussed some details and exchanged ideas regarding the whole process of it all. I think this put us over the edge in realizing how soon this is all happening. It’s crazy…awesome. :)
