one sign of the "eh" economy: junk mail. has anyone else noticed an increase in their junk e-mails over the last couple of months? companies that had never sent me e-mails before (like sears, who i have a credit card with) are now starting to flood my inbox with offers and deals. bleh. same with local businesses -- one thing that stinks about being a homeowner is how many flyers i get on my door or mailbox or driveway from local businesses all year. every day when i come home from work, i have to chase paper that blew off my mailbox or door. now that warmer weather is creeping in, all the lawn services and home improvement companies are papering the neighborhood trying to drum up business. and i get it, business is probably slow and everyone needs to keep going... but those flyers are more likely to steer me away from them.

facebook continues to amuse me. i just added a bunch of friends from all different periods of my life, including a girl i was good friends with until i moved to kuwait after 5th grade. she was this little nerdy, brilliant girl with thick glasses and amazing artistic skills... now she's a stunningly beautiful woman, about to have a baby, and she lives in the same town as me. too funny.
