    Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

    Right!? One venue we looked at charged $200-$300 /day for corporate events and $2000 /day for wedding receptions, and these were both Saturday rates. What's really the difference that costs $1500?

    In reality it won't be super expensive but it sure seems like it when we're both young and I'm fresh out of college. She has been graduated and working for a few years now so that helps. We both hate spending money in the first place so it's all just a little unnatural to be spending so much...

    Did you know weddings are expensive?

    Hello! Long time no post! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and start to the new year. As for me, it turns out that ring was burning a bigger hole in my pocket than I thought. This past Saturday we went to a country church near my house that is very special to both of us for a few...

    Although there have been a few late night study sessions this semester, this one was mostly self inflicted. I was home sick Monday and Tuesday so I didn't get much work done, and this weekend is super busy so I won't have much time for school either. Company Christmas party this evening in...

    I had to write a speech for a special occasion for a class so I chose to toast my left shoe and my right shoe, Larry and Rhonda, at their wedding. Trust me, it's laced with so many puns I actually had to cut a bunch out for time. I tried to toe the line between funny and overdoing it, but it's...

    Well, the "just looking" stage didn't last long. My purchase arrives to the store on Monday. Now the hard part will be not giving it to her until our agreed amount of time has passed. I'm giving it to my mom to hold on to in the meantime because I know I would absolutely give it to her early if...

    So far just in the looking stage. She has told me what she likes so I have an idea of what to look for and I don't go totally astray. Also, we both hate spending money so this won't exactly break the bank. At the end if the day it's not about what's on her finger, it's about why it's there. So...

    What the heck is that thing? I've seen a few laying around before but I have no idea what they're good for. Maybe they come off those old tvs that you had to turn the dials like I've always read about.

    Dang. Small shiny things in the shape of a circle are expensive.

    Instagram really needs to get rid of the "double tap to like a picture" function. Too easy to accidentally like someone's picture.

    The professor from the linear algebra class in the room before my current class never erases any of his notes from the board before he leaves. The results from their past exam were on the board and a 47.5% curved to a C. The high score was 82% and the low was 8%. Yikes.

    Finally in my 5th year of college I got to leave class after 15 minutes because the professor didn't show up. I'm finally a real college student!

    And now Carson King has to hold a press conference apologizing for an 8 year old Facebook post dug up by a Des Moines Register reporter. Seems like ISU just can't do anything right these days.

    @wxman1 this guy flew over my place yesterday and I couldn't believe how big it was! Looked like he was moving in slow motion but was probably going hundreds of miles per hour. All of those engines produce a really cool sound that's surprisingly different from a normal passenger jet. That's what...

    @Angie I have a Friday OT idea if you're up for it! When are some instances you felt like you were in your own version of the Truman Show? For example, a few weeks ago, I went to my girlfriend's family reunion in northern Wisconsin for the first time and they introduced me to a specific brand...

    I hated those courses! I actually didn't go out for track my freshman year because I didn't want to stare at the same thing the whole time I was running. I did run my lifetime PR at the golf course in Jewell though which was flat and lots of loops. Thomas Pollard and Wes Greder were in that race...

    I was in the same boat. All my life I knew I was going to Iowa State just like my dad. But then Northwestern and Graceland started recruiting me for track/cross country and I ended up choosing Graceland because of their ag business and com sci programs (double major). After a year I transferred...
