Winnie the Pooh

So call me old-school, but I am hooked on Seventies music. It all started a very long time a go when I would drive with my dad in his truck and we would listen to James Taylor and John Denver. They will forever remind me of home and of my daddy. So, when I get homesick I like to listen to them as previously mentioned on this blog. But here's the catch: I don't have that many songs by either of them in my library so I decided to make a James & John Pandora (its very good, if you care to listen to it). For all you dinosaurs who don't understand Pandora, it chooses music for you based on the type of station you create. So, I ended up with a lot of seventies music. One of the songs it chose for me was House at Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins. I love this song because it used to play on one of Lauren's lullaby CD's. It also reminded me of the Pencil and her obsessive love for all things Piglet and the little stuffed animals we would collect at Disneyland. Childhood was awesome. 

Truck.

I miss my truck. It was so big and kept me safe even though it was impossible to park. I miss its loud horn and the saggy bumper and the crazy cd player and the license plate. 

I just miss driving all together. Now I have no freedom know to just go where I want when I want. I gotta walk all the way there. Which don't get me wrong, was kinda nice and fun at first but now its just getting old. And what am I supposed to do when its cold? I can't walk to the grocery store in the snow. If only I had access to a certain van....

Labor Day!

Labor day = no class. So what do we do? Go shopping. But hold your horses:  we are responsible college kids so not even the fun kind of shopping.... we went grocery shopping. It was quite an ordeal because we had to walk 5 blocks which is a new experience for me because 1) it's almost always too hot to walk anywhere is Mesa 2) everything is very spread out and 3) I had a car at home (sigh. cucstruk, I miss you). Getting there wasn't a problem. We got directions from the very multi-functional iPhone and it was a cool, breezy 78. Once we were done shopping we were faced with the predicament of getting our heavy (it included multiple flats of caffeinated contraband) cart full of grocery's back to our dorm. Is it against the honor code to steal a shopping cart?

We took it back..... Ok it was too far so we donated it to the Wendy's across from campus.
