By most standards it was certainly no major quake but it was enough to wake me up from a sound sleep. I guess I can now scratch "Survive an earthquake" off of my life's to do list.<br /><br />I took a trip to Lake Tahoe yesterday and found it to be a very beautiful place. I was amazed at the sight of swimmers and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">kayakers</span> in the lake against the backdrop of snow capped mountains. The only regret that I have is that my girlfriend was not with me to experience it with me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422081627710517399-6474417303373668752?l=everybodylovesanirishgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karennoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422081627710517399.post-61328385060585928512008-05-09T06:57:00.000-07:002008-05-09T07:00:24.013-07:00If a blind bowler can score 300 how bad does that make me?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kcci.com/sports/16201286/detail.html"><strong>Blind Bowler Scores Perfect Game</strong></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422081627710517399-6132838506058592851?l=everybodylovesanirishgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karennoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422081627710517399.post-59672804719322282912008-04-21T12:21:00.000-07:002008-04-21T12:24:16.626-07:00<a href="http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=180247,00.html"><strong>IRS Announces Economic Stimulus Payment Schedules</strong></a> (scroll to the bottom of the page)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422081627710517399-5967280471932228291?l=everybodylovesanirishgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karennoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422081627710517399.post-16492543536468013932008-04-20T15:26:00.000-07:002008-04-20T15:32:38.319-07:00I took my new road bike out to Stone Mountain this afternoon for a ride.  Prior to starting the ride I had grandiose thoughts of being able to make at least <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">two</span> laps around the mountain.  That thought evaporated from my mind after the first brutal hill.  I was lucky to make it one lap and to be honest, on the last hill I was a little bit pitiful.  I kept moving but I was being passed by ants.  <div><br /></div><div>To celebrate the lap around the mountain I rewarded myself with more than 3 pounds of buy one get one free boxes of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Froot</span> Loops cereal.   You gotta celebrate the small victories!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422081627710517399-1649254353646801393?l=everybodylovesanirishgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karennoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422081627710517399.post-1398772674470097482008-04-13T07:59:00.000-07:002008-04-13T07:59:19.256-07:00<div>This made me laugh!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/news/grandfathers_accidentally_switched">Grandfathers Accidentally Switched At Hospital | The Onion - America's Finest News Source</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422081627710517399-139877267447009748?l=everybodylovesanirishgirl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karennoreply@blogger.com5
