ten things tuesday...

Ten random things:

1) I met with my bank this morning for an account overhaul. New services (free!!!!) were added and I shuffled some funds around. I have never met with my bank for this purpose. I feel like a grown up.

2) I applied for my passport this morning, after the bank. The public library offers services to assist the application process and it was smoother and faster than I expected. It's really a shame that I live this close to Canada and can't go there because I'm too lazy to get a passport.

3) When I got my passport photo taken, I discovered Reese's eggs are back in season. Naturally, I picked up a couple of bags.

4) While I was at the library, I scoped out the location for the Board of Trustees meeting this afternoon. It will be interesting. Although the agenda is a little dry.

5) I should brush up on Robert's Rules of Order. It's been over twenty years since I've had to abide by them.

6) Traditionally, I buy myself a vacation gift--some kind of electronic goodie but this year, not so much. I don't need anything. Have I grown?

7) President Lincoln was born in Kentucky.

8) I love being on vacation. With no real plans.

9) I'm considering a "lenten" challenge--not shopping, with the exception of household essentials/groceries. I did it last year, too, but I haven't decided because I haven't been as impulsive as I was last year.

10) I should wash my car but it's probably too cold. Bummer because the car is filthy.

Tom Hanks is a direct descendant of Lincoln on his (Abe's) mother's side and his (Tom's) father's side. It's good to know and comes in handy in trivia competitions.

I think it's terrific that you're getting your passport! I need a new one, too. I have no plans for glamorous international travel, but it's such a good thing to have. Thanks for the tweak.
