  1. Baton Rouge, LA
  2. New Orleans, LA
  3. Little Rock, AR
  4. Honolulu, HI
  5. Las Vegas, NV
  6. Sacremento, CA
  7. Alexandria, LA
  8. Natchitoches, LA
  9. San Bernadino, CA
  10. Providence, RI

Hm.... they must know I love hot weather... how did Providence RI get on there?

Breakfast : BEC Biscuit and Hashbrowns
Lunch: Sandwich
Dinner: La Shish

Had dinner with Jill, Darren and Kevin. We had a really great time. I hadn't laughed that much in a while.

Came home and watched a documentary on the Democratic primaries and finished watching the debate. If I hear "no child left behind" one more time, I think I am going to puke.

Bonne Nuit!

Punch in the Face Game

I found this on another blog:

The Punch in the Face game
"Yesterday I saw a Ford Truck commercial featuring Toby Keith, who in the commercial actually shouted the phrase: "Bring it on!"
Upon seeing it I immediately thought up a new game for you to play with all of your friends. It's called the Punch in the Face game, and very simple, yet not as easy as you think. All you have to do is make a list of the 5 people that you'd most like to punch in the face without any consequences. They could be famous people or people you personally know.
There's only a couple additional rules.
1. You can't put George W. Bush on your list, because everyone's going to do that. It's like on wheel of fortune, for the final puzzle, they now automatically give everyone the first five letters, because everyone always picked them. So that one's a given. You are, however, free to imagine punching W in the face anyway. Go ahead.
2. None of the people on the list can be female, because hitting girls is not cool, dude. However, if you yourself are a chick, feel free. But, remember, we are talking punches here, not limp-wristed slaps.That's it, post yr list in the comments section. The best part about the Punch in the face game is that everybody wins! Good Luck!"
Hmmm who would I choose? These are in no particular order
  1. Geraldo Rivera
  2. Laura Schlessinger
  3. Bill O'Reilly
  4. Dr. Phil
  5. Rush Limbaugh

Le destin de Tess

Tess Dunn

Quand je regarde dans ma boule en cristal, que’ est-ce que je vois ?

Je suis retourné à l'université pour apprendre des sujets chers de moi, comme la musique et la langue et la culture françaises. Toute ma vie, j'ai voulu être un professeur. Est-ce que je vais travailler dans un lycée ? Une Université ? Est-ce que je vais enseigner le piano ou la voix en plus Français? Naturellement, j'espère visiter l'Europe plusieurs fois dans ma vie. Peut-être je vais étudier en France avant je gradue de l'université. J'espère que je vais rencontrer quelqu'un et nous allons nous épouser. Je voudrais avoir des enfants, aussi.

C’est dur à prévoir. Vraiment, je ne sais pas que va être dans mon futur, je peux seulement espérer que ma famille et moi serons heureux. Si je continue à apprendre et passer le temps avec les bien-aimées, je serai heureuse n'importe ce que le futur se tient.
