The GRE pants

No I am not turning into my friend ClairE who used to say pants after everything to make it sound funny.

I think I am going to take the GRE this spring. Why, I am not sure. I think grad school could be in my future, but I have no idea when, where or what for. Now you might be rolling your eyes and thinking that this is just the next phase I am in and you are probably right. After all you have seen me go through my white water kayak, law school, St. Meirads and several other phases with no action. I did however buy a scooter and continue to go hunting for no apparent reason so I do stick with some phases.

So if you have any study prep books or anything like that let me know. Should I have thought of this when my sister was working for a test prep agency? Yes, but I didn't so back off.

In other news, my mom got me a new pair of pants a few weeks ago and I really like them!! The might be the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever had. They are better then jeans.

Keep up the fight

Big Doins in Nashville

Last weekend mom and dad came to town and there were some big purchases made in the life of Andy Miller. I am not going to say I was parent pressured into them, but mom and dad were a moving force in a few of them.

The first of the purchases was a new recycling center for my closet. I like this one because the bins come out and they have nice and big handles. This way I can presort and then take it in to the big recycling center when ever a tub gets full. Here in Nashville you have to sort the paper according to the weight. Office paper, newsprint and cardboard all have to be in their own container or they will not take any of it. Oddly enough though you can mix all the plastic, glass and tin you want and they do not care at all about that. With this new bin system there will be no more big sorting days in my apartment where paper is all over the place. I can't tell you how much I am enjoyed using it so far, but then again most of you know how excited I get about things like this so I don't need to tell you.After sleeping on an old mattress that I had to put down two blankets on to keep the springs from poking me, it was time to get a new one. In fact this was my Christmas present from mom and dad to me. It is a great mattress. It is nice and firm and also has the pillow top so it is also nice and soft and cuddly. It has taken me a few nights to get used to it, but when I am gone this weekend I know I will miss it a lot. Speaking of beds and sheets check out the new poll on the right. I know it has been a long time since I had one of those up.

Now last, and by no means least, A NEW CAR, said in the way they do it on the Price is Right. That's right I got a new Toyota Corolla. As you can see, unless blind or colour blind, it is silver. I got a good deal on financing (1.9) and a ton of money on my old Saturn ($800). It is nothing to fancy, but I do have automatic windows and lights. I refuse to buy a car without auto windows and now that I have one with auto lights it will be hard if I ever have to go back.

Keep up the fight.

A Dark and Spooky Night

X

That "x" is where the picture of the pumpkins we carved last weekend will go if I ever get it sent to me. I am not going to mention it here who has yet to mail it to me.

So last weekend Ryan came down for a visit (I said I would not mention it up there I said nothing about down here). We had a wonderful time. I can't to much other then we visit some shops, took the Nashville Express and had some wonderful conversations. I would say more but some people count how many lines of text they get written about them in my blog so I want to keep it even.

In addition to having Ryan visit I also went to a concert in Louisville on Friday night. It was Ingrid Michaelson. My buddy Carl and I went. It was really fun. She is a great singer and puts on a great show. Yes, I like short choppy sentences.

Mom and dad are on their way here right now and I need to go get some laundry done before they show up.

Keep up the fight
