(I got this as an email from myradCOOL AND AWESOME friend Rivers
Davis Powell, who supports my blog. Dave got it from someone in
the goverment or something, Department of State. I found it
interesting that none of the European actually gave cash. But I
love Greece's contribution. I thought the Netherland's
contribution was a little haughty. But Sri Lanka
brought tears to my eyes, and I was impressed with Qutar).

So Megan and I have convinced Ian that house is the greatest show ever.
And we are going to have a little get together at my house to watch HOUSE, tomorrow night. We are going to consume all of the goodies I have left over from the weekend (Kate brought me some provisions).
Anyone interested? Anyone? It is going to be fun! I’m to tired to send out an evite. I have to do a title search.
Things I love in the morning

Breakfast
Posted in Law School on September 7, 2005| 4 Comments »
Allison, Cristina and I went to breakfast this morning at Five Star. We normally go on Tuesdays, and Christy goes with us, but yesterday Allison couldn’t go, and Five Star was closed, so Cristina, Christy and I went to the May Flower instead.
We noticed a couple of interesting things this morning.
The parking meter lady and the bacardi delivery guy are in some sort of relationship. And they were having some sort of drama this morning. We watched them halfway talk, halfway make out for about half an hour.
Allison isn’t ready to get married. Here is her quote:
"I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I want to elope, and then just have a party. And by "have a party" I mean send out an evite for everyone to meet us at a bar and buy us drinks. Not to rent the place out or anything. I think this is evidence that I’m not ready to get married quite yet."
The weather is so amazing right now, it makes me tremendously happy to sit outside and eat breakfast.
Last night I was being antisocial. I bought House on dvd, and it is my new favorite show. I LOVE IT.
I also recently acquired some new coffee travel mugs. If you are in the market for new coffee travel mugs, these are what you need. 
Go Dawgs!

Today was awesome. We looked good.
But, for the record, I’ve never been so happy to be in my bed in my entire life.
Seriously.
I love my bed more than anything in the world and I’ve never been so pleased to be here.
Goodnight, loves. I really do love y’all.
p.s. I had fun last night too.
