The little town just north of here is spending money like crazy.  The race track in Wheeling needed a kennel to house all the greyhounds, and the county and the track reached a deal.  Now, the town is falling ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/22/road-hazards-ahead/ One of the really cool things I'm very much looking forward to this fall is the chance to get my teeth cleaned for next to no money. The college has a killer good dental hygiene department, and the students are always looking for patients to hone their skills. The seniors ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/21/showing-those-pearly-whites/ Do you remember awhile back when I was going on so about how pretty those spa murals were and how much I would like to have one? Well, guess what? The folks at Spa Scenes were so taken with me that they (and my friends at Pay U ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/20/winner-winner-chicken-dinner/ I forgot to tell you all about my trip to school on Tuesday. I still don't have the keys to my office and the newsroom yet, but I guess it's not all that surprising since my contract doesn't officially take effect until August 16th. It's still horribly frustrating, though, to ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/17/the-old-college-try/ I love sales. BJ and I went to Kohl's (a) because it's a new store in our area and (b) because I needed some new clothes to start out the school year. Regular prices were, well, steep.  Not since my mother bought all of my clothes have I seriously shopped at a ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/15/sporting-a-new-look/ I'm having trouble getting motivated. I'm finally starting to shake this stupid cold, and now that my head is coming out of the fog, I'm noticing how much stuff I need to get done. The problem is that I still don't feel much like doing any of it. I need to ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/14/the-fog-is-lifting-sort-of/ With BJ and me both suffering from this dread disease, I've noticed a few things about how different we can be, especially when we don't feel well. BJ, when sick, simply wants to be left alone.  A dark room, some aspirin, fluids as needed, and everyone out of the way.  No ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/11/different-strokes/ I hate summer colds. BJ and I have both been sick for over a week.  We've been chugging cough syrup, NyQuil, hot tea, and anything else we can think of to knock this thing out. The only good thing about it is that we both have the cruds at the same time, ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/09/feeling-icky-again/ BJ and I spent the Fourth shopping. It wasn't our usual Independence Day ritual, but it was a lot of fun. We decided before leaving the house that, while certain errands needed tending, we would do whatever struck our fancy, and that's just what we did. We ended up ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/04/our-lazy-day/ Days like this make me stop and reflect about just how good I have it here.  Through the Revolution, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, our brave service men and women have given their blood, sweat, ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/07/04/happy-birthday-usa/
