Starfish half flipped over
I went to Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas with my sisters, kids and nephews. It consists of an aquarium, rainforest, discovery center and has IMAX and other attractions as well. We only went into the aquarium then saw the Festival of Lights.
One of the first things we saw when we entered was the Starfish or Sea Stars, not sure the difference. It was so neat to see the starfish flipped over its under side.
50 Dumbest Things Bush Ever Said. Wow.
This is the official list of the 50 dumbest things President George W. Bush every said.
Some of my favorites from the list:

22. “I wish you’d have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it…I’m sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn’t yet….I don’t want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I’m confident I have. I just haven’t — you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I’m not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one.” —President George W. Bush, after being asked to name the biggest mistake he had made, Washington, D.C., April 3, 2004 (my 30th birthday)

Project 365 in 2007
I have decided to create a Project 365, where I take a photo a day for all of 2007.
I already take a lot of photos but there are days I don’t take any. I want to also pick one photo out of maybe a few shots to remember that one day.
I got the idea from an October post at photojojo.com. You can read more here. The article suggests getting support from friends and family because there will be days when I may not want to take a photograph. I sure hope I can follow through with this. Wish me luck.

I am so tired of this drive
When is it going to end? Will I be making this same drive in a year or three? There has to be a better option. Move or change jobs or just stay in bed.
