In 2007, U.S. households saved less than 1% of the national household income. Ridiculous, and scary for the future.

What is too old?
Woolsey Nicholls: Oh, no no. See, Betty- Betty's the old face, huh? Old being the operative word.
Chuck: She's 37!
Woolsey Nicholls: She's 38, which rounds up to 40, which rounds up to 50, which rounds up to oooold.

Bad News...Good News
I nearly lost my computer to some nasty, mean, pain-in-the-*** bad stuff. I restored, lost everything on my hard drive, and now I have to re-download a bunch of programs.
Good side? I have Office 2007 for free until Halloween. Yay!!!

Oh, the Huguenots...
Finishing up my AP US History homework for the weekend.
Interesting facts I have learned so far:
1) Smallpox got to the Incas before Pizarro.
2) The colonists under Columbus did NOT like him.
3) Phillip II of Spain basically claimed the Portuguese throne and united the two countries because he felt like it.
Back to my 1000+ page textbook.
DONE!!!
School starts tomorrow and I just finished my summer assignments. Just in time, I guess.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Re: Off to Pilates...
I gained weight, but only a negligible amount.
I increased my flexibility by a large amount.
Yay me!
Off to Pilates...
Did I lose weight? Did I gain weight? Have the last 6 weeks of constant exercise been “an exercise in futility” (to quote Dr. Sheldon Cooper)?
I will soon find out.
Wish me luck!
New Countdown
