“I had an almost intolerable awareness that every morning began with infinite promise. Any book may be read, any idea thought, any action taken. Anything that has ever been possible to human beings is possible to most of us every time the clock says six in the morning. In a day no different from the one now breaking, Shakespeare sat down to begin Hamlet.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Few foods make me as sublimely happy as fried chicken from my neighborhood Bag ‘N Save grocery store. I devoured a leg and a thigh last night — with a huge side of their signature Garden Vegetable Pasta — while sitting on my couch, watching TV.

The entire meal was pure bliss for just $4.

Remember Professor Lasky from “Saved by the Bell: The College Years?”

I just saw him on a Hyundai commercial.

And he looked very, very old.

I’ve gotta thank my mom for giving me these gorgeous daisies Thursday night at the UNO School of Communication award banquet. Thanks, Mom!

This poor woman doesn’t have a head or much for legs, but isn’t her Luella Bartley dress darling? If it wasn’t sold out at Target.com, I’d take it.

Allow me to be a Girly Girl for a moment.

On Thursday, I’m attending an award banquet at my alma matter, the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

I purchased this adorable knee-lenth, strapless polka dot gown (with a hot pink crendelin, I might add)…

..which I will wear with this fitted white blazer. (If I celebrate at the bars following the banquet, you can bet the white blazer will stay in the car.)

As such, I need shoes to complete my look. I found the following two pairs today.

Which shoes, loyal readers, should adorn my feet Thursday night? (Ignore the jeans, of course.)

Option #1

Option #2

Anyone know how to create an OS X icon from an image such as this?

I’m participating in this year’s Relay for Life, the annual fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

I’m working to raise $100 for the walk, which will be held June 10-11 at Millard West High School in Omaha.

If you have a few extra quarters jingling in your pocket, please consider donating at my official Relay for Life Web page. Donations can be made online.

Thank you for your support!

If you or someone you know in the Omaha area plans on signing up for TV, phone or high-speed Internet with Cox Communications, let me know. I can get them their first six months of service at half-price, based on a friends/family special. This is for new customers only.
