Shelby 2008-06-25T15:19:14-08:00 Meme! http://www.happybeagle.com/shelbysblog/archives/001675.html I've been tagged! 1. What did you do 10 years ago? 10 years ago I had just graduated from graduate school. My God, I can't believe that was 10 years ago! I was about to start my first professional job... Shelby 2008-06-22T22:19:58-08:00 Gift receipts--get them http://www.happybeagle.com/shelbysblog/archives/001674.html I have recently become rather annoyed by extremely restrictive return policies. Target, for example, won't take anything back without a receipt (the exception being that if you yourself bought it there, used a credit card, and have the credit card... Shelby 2008-06-22T14:34:58-08:00 The truth about Barack Obama http://www.happybeagle.com/shelbysblog/archives/001673.html Many of you have seen the email circulating about Barack Obama the Muslim Non-Flag-Pin Wearing Terrorist. That everything in the email has been debunked means nothing to the people who keep forwarding it. Fortunately there's a solution. Slate.com has created... Shelby 2008-06-21T13:34:33-08:00 Saint Elmo, Patron Saint of Stomach Distress, has heard my prayers! http://www.happybeagle.com/shelbysblog/archives/001672.html Saint Elmo be praised, my morning (all day) sickness has gone away!

My current clothes bisect my stomach... Shelby 2008-06-19T16:07:11-08:00 Thank you! http://www.happybeagle.com/shelbysblog/archives/001669.html Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes. Special thanks to my parents for hosting a nice, laid-back dinner (Vince's lasagna!). Vince's is a local restaurant with the most amazing lasagna. For years their menu was, "Spaghetti, Lasagna, Spaghetti/Lasagna Combo." Now they've... Shelby 2008-06-16T21:03:52-08:00 Roomba Rhumba http://www.happybeagle.com/shelbysblog/archives/001668.html I've secretly considered getting a Roomba--that robotic vacuum cleaner that navigates itself around your house picking up stuff off the floor, but my primary hesitation has been the dogs' reactions. Given how they are around the regular vacuum (Digory is...

Where did the time go? I really don't feel old. At the ob's office...
