Car Troubles

My cars is in the shop, so I’m driving a rental. I’m deeply stressed about that, so I’m not going to go into detail. I spent the weekend taking care of that, doing some Xmas shopping, getting out the Xmas decor, and putting lights on the tree. I got to spend a lot of time with Kathy, which was nice. She helped me clean and repair the window in the foyer where the tree is sitting, so the tree can be seen through the window, which is cool. The only decorating thing I have left is putting ornaments on the tree. I got most of my Xmas cards done, too. If I can get the tree decorated tonight, I can start wrapping presents, and for the first time, I’ll be ahead of the game at Xmas. That’s cool.

Put a Target Downtown!!

Do me a huge favor — e-mail Target and tell them to put a Target store at 16th and Central in Downtown Indianapolis. I’ll tell you exactly how to do it:
Go to this page of the website, and click on the link “For questions about our stores, products�and services, click here.”
You’ll see a form to fill out, and one of the options on the drop-down menu in the middle of the form is “I want a target in my neighborhood.” Fill it out and tell them to put a store in Downtown Indianapolis. Tell them it’s a great location for one because it’s right in the middle of massive historic restoration, with lots of young urban professionals who already shop at outlying Target stores, but would do so even more if there were a convenient store nearby. Tell them this would not only be a highly profitable store, but would also improve the neighborhoods that are already undergoing a cultural renaissance.
You can also call their number: “If you would prefer to speak with a Guest Services Representative about Target retail locations, merchandise or service, please call 1-800-440-0680.”

Dream a little dream

  • Post author:

Stars shining bright above you,
Night breezes seem to whisper, “I love you”;
Birds singin’ in the sycamore tree;
Dream a little dream of me…
Say “nighty-night” and kiss me,
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me;
While I’m alone and blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me…
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss;
I’m longing to linger til dawn, dear,
Just saying this:
Sweet dreams til sun beams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you;
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me
I had a really wonderful evening last night.

Winona Ryder

Check out what the prosecutors want Winona Ryder’s shoplifting punishment to be. Highlights — the girl had a lot of drugs on her at the time of her arrest, all with perscriptions, but from different doctors, and some of them under a fake name “Emily Thompson.” Also she has to complete 60 days of community service and she’s not allowed to have input on what the service will be. Plus, she has to submit her person and property to search and seizure at any time by any probation or peace officer without a warrant or probably cause. Wow.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was really great. I went to Iowa with my brother Todd and his wife Denise and stayed at my Grandparents house. Saw the aunts, uncles, cousins, ate way too much food, went shopping and generally had a good time. I missed Spike the whole time, though. He stayed at Dan and Doug’s house. I think he had a really fun time. He was really happy I was home though. We spent all Saturday evening cuddling on the couch.
I had a really great date with Kathy last night. 🙂 We saw the movie “Solaris” which was supposed to be a really romantic movie (?) but was really a space movie instead. Then we went to Shaffer’s fondue place. It was fun, but not my favorite restaurant. The company was great, though. 🙂
