The end of the season

So apparantly the only thing that raises my blood pressure is Aggie football. Yeah, I watched the game - and I tend to get stressed out (like more stressed than vet school finals ever made me!) when we're down. So, just out of curiosity, I took my blood pressure on this nifty little machine that Jon has. Now, normally my BP is low... like 105 over 65 low. Which drives Jon crazy, because his is usually a bit higher than normal, even when he's just hanging out on the couch non-stressed. So, I checked mine right after Penn State scored the touchdown that jumped them up to 24-17 tonight. And the results??? 135 over 113 - I think this is like an all-time high for me. Aggie football will always be worth it though - and I can't wait for next season! Whoop!!

Happy holidays!

I'm flying out to Texas this morning to spend Christmas with family and friends, so I won't be posting for at least a week and a half. I hope everyone has a great holiday!

Another use for my A&M sports pass..

cause I know I'm not using it again (my college sports pass), but for some reason I don't want to throw it out. Too many happy memories I guess - early mornings standing in line for tickets, standing in the student section of the stadium, wearing raincoats and getting soaked in the rain (no umbrellas allowed!!), and loving being an Aggie! Well, tonight my sportspass doubled as a snow-scraper for my car. Yeah, I'm definitely still a Texan!! I forgot to put my snow-scraper thingy back in my trunk, so when I left work this afternoon I had to rely on my mittens and the sportspass to scrape the layer of snow and ice that had already accumulated in the 3 hours since lunch! Crazy Colorado weather!! My drive home went pretty well though - only skidded out once, and not really too badly. I love my Toyota - very dependable in all weather!

New appliances

So last week we got our fun new big tv! (Yeah, that's too many adjectives without commas...whatever.) Today our new dishwasher and oven and microhood (apparantly you can't call it a microwave if it goes over the oven - who knew?). Jon has been working on getting everything installed (he's had some obstacles), so pics to follow. But woohoo for new working appliances!!
