FINALLY got to see Trav's nephew, Evan, & his niece, Crystal this past weekend!! It's been MONTHS since I've last seen them! As you can tell from the picture....Sadie, our beagle, wasn't as thrilled as I was, hahahahaha. 

365, Day 10: Social Problems? I'll Show Ya a Social Problem...


Social problems? Yeah, you're telling me. I'll give ya a social problem. What is a social problem? What is the social problem process?
In all seriousness, I do enjoy this class, because a great professor teaches it. He's down on the students' level, around our age roughly, & tries to make the class entertaining & interesting.
Gotta get to work on my homework & readings now....dun, dun, dun.

365, Day 9: I Got Coupons!!



My uncle & I went to dinner the other night @ Glory Days in Charles Town...had a horrible experience. Bad waitress, cold food, order wrong, & the waitress had the nerve to accuse me of saying I didn't ask for a certain item for dinner to cover up her mistake to her boss. We asked for a manager...she corrected my meal, brought my uncle a fresh & hot plate of food, and brought us out two coupons off of our next dining experience. Now that's how you do it!
