Football, hair dryers, and sea lions: A random post

Hello! I am not sure what I have been doing, so no lame excuses for no posts! Two pics from our fall are attached. We have been in Savannah visiting, doing our best to help pack, and, most importantly, watching Tate play football (much more fun than watching our choice college football team play at the moment!). The last game we went to was more like a mud bath for the players, but it was great to watch even in the rain!
A few weeks ago my hair dryer gave out on me mid-session. Unfortunately, I was running late. I drove quickly to my parents, grabbed my old dryer, finished the process and took her with me for good. For the next few days, something was different about my hair -- better different! For months I had been thinking my hair looked funny and what do you know, it did!
My stupid hair dryer was burning my head and my hair! I cannot believe that it took me until the thing just overheated and burned out to realize this issue.
So, ladies, check your hairdryers because if you are able to turn her loose and have your hair dry in under two minutes, you could be falling prey to the same hair dryer terror as I was. Crazy how they sneak up on you like that.
Also, in the news here, I am in love with Arbonne 5-step facial cleanser. I will never relinquish my Dove soap bar and Aveeno daily scrub, but this 5 step deal is amazing. The process takes a day or two to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, you are in and out clean as a whistle in no time. I have had it since last Christmas and refused to use it until I got desperate... Why did I not try this before?
And, I decided to read the Twilight books. I last set it down with about 70 pages to go in the first book, and am fairly engrossed in it. Everyone loves it so much and I want to go to the movie next week having finished the book -- so I dove in -- even though I have too much reading for school to be exerting leisure reading time. More thoughts on this read after I finish!
Speaking of school... I finally sat down to blog again since I am supposed to be finishing two papers before the weekend. Worst. Procrastinator. Ever. It is sad.
Anybody been watching Kath & Kim on NBC? Tyler thinks it is a spoof on the Gilmore Girls, which it is not. It is funny though. Love some Thursday night TV. The Office seems to be getting better each week. I thought they might crash when they lost Holly, but this week's trip to Canada and drunk dial to Angela made me cry. That Andy Bernard... remember when he was the big jerk in the other office? His character has been much more entertaining since he & Angela were engaged.
Alright... I really have to go write these papers. Bottom picture is of Tyler on Election Day 2K8. Someone please tell me is it ironic or just plain funny that he was hanging out with sea lions on 11/4 after the past 2 years of focusing on that one very day? At least we have a picture to remember it with. There is, however, no picture of me, at home, a slave to my TV and radio waiting to hear the state-by-state results. Silly me. Here he is:
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Maggie,

Don't act like you are the worst procrastinator ever...you are married to the worst procrastinator ever. In college every time I heard Tyler was studying, it was for a test that he got his professor to push back. You and Sarah should hang out with the hair dryers. She had one going with the space heater blowing out of the same circuit and almost blew up the house. later.
