ROAD TRIP!!! #
@sara_elaine thanks! Merry Christmas to you too! This time an actual trip.. And 1500 miles south to somewhere warm… =) in reply to sara_elaine #
@sara_elaine well it’s gonna be a long trip.. My little brother is already making me want to shoot myself in the head with a crossbow… in reply to sara_elaine #

Since when are @mcdonalds, @wendy’s, @burgerking and every other fastfood place closed on Christmas?? Really..? #
@sara_elaine well it certainly makes things a bit difficult for people traveling to stop for food.. in reply to sara_elaine #
Hmm.. Never realized how many Waffle Houses there were.. My gosh they’re everywhere… #
Gotta say, my youngest brother has truly mastered the art of annoyance.. Truly.. Driving to southern florida was the worst idea imaginable.. #
@sara_elaine they really are everywhere.. Yup, Naples.. in reply to sara_elaine #
@sara_elaine oh contrare.. Sadly only half way… in reply to sara_elaine #
Helloooo Georgia!! #
@sara_elaine doing my best.. And thanks!! in reply to sara_elaine #
Helloooo Florida!! #
@RyanVelting false alarm… Still in Georgia…. in reply to RyanVelting #
While by brothers’ annoyance factor is certainly of legendary proportions, I have the most amazing family in the world.. I’m truly blessed. #

@alliski false!! in reply to alliski #
@alliski now THAT is fact…. in reply to alliski #
@alliski and for the record, skis yes, snowboard, not so much, but still fun.. in reply to alliski #
@danieljamespics yup! Running in shorts on Monday, snowboarding on Thursday.. Bit if a shock to the system though.. in reply to danieljamespics #
@alliski and where, precisely, does barefoot waterskiing fit in..? Cuz that’s what i like. That and slalom.. in reply to alliski #
@AbbyHart well for Christmas, you can send presents to yourself, from your alter-ego.. It’s all good.. in reply to AbbyHart #
@alliski I’m then left to assume that old-school knee-boarding follows all to bring up last place.. in reply to alliski #
You know… Just realized that I have NEVER watched “Nightmare Before Christmas”… #
@alliski LOL… as far as i’m aware of, no other recreational sport has the ability to ruin ones knees within 15.7 seconds… in reply to alliski #
@Alyssa_Milano They forgot one: If you had Alyssa Milano photos covering every square inch of your school locker.. in reply to Alyssa_Milano #
ok, after a week, the novelty of winter has wore off.. I’d like summer back please… #
@sara_elaine Can’t complain.. Here’s to (hopefully) a decent nights sleep. =) in reply to sara_elaine #

@sara_elaine didn’t even see you had done that!! Let’s spread the word and get out as many as possible!! in reply to sara_elaine #
@BoatSupplies thank you for the RT! We owe our service men and women a lot more than this, but it is something, although little, we can do.. in reply to BoatSupplies #
@danieljamespics perfect!! Thank you! #
@sara_elaine completely agreed. We still need to support them.. in reply to sara_elaine #
Get the word out!!! http://letssaythanks.com

@brianburch no worries! It was worth a shot! in reply to brianburch #
@becarp why is it they always talk it up so much, then nothing…. in reply to becarp #
Looks like I’d better get a shovel on my way home tonight…. =) #
@ScottEnsink ha! I don’t think so, but I could be wrong.. in reply to ScottEnsink #
Spending some much needed time with family this weekend… #

@Gamblest hell yes! Although I’ll already be in southern Florida in a few weeks… =) in reply to Gamblest #
@surfergirllc frankly, dont care about organic, and think the whole “free range” is a crock of crap, but if the food is warm, i’ll try it!! in reply to surfergirllc #
@surfergirllc i will certainly give it a shot then!!! =) in reply to surfergirllc #
OMG mick jagger is so hideously ugly.. #

@AbbyHart although that may sound good in theory, not usually recommended.. in reply to AbbyHart #
Great… Fairly certain I’m wearing one black sock, one navy sock.. I am AWESOME!!! #
Well, jeep evidently fixed herself.. Either that or the check engine light finally died.. Going on a hunch here, I think it fixed itself.. #
@sara_elaine ha!! My gosh for REAL.. in reply to sara_elaine #
finding myself surprisingly chipper this holiday season… =) #
sometimes i wish twitter showed who “un-follows” you….. #
@surfergirllc hahaa!! Yup! Was up, couldn’t sleep, and watching a movie.. A Christmas song came on and just made me feel, well, chipper!! =) in reply to surfergirllc #

anyone else using google wave? thoughts? feel free to hit me up.. rvelting@googlewave.com #
@brianburch wow! Good lookin out Brian! Never knew that existed.. in reply to brianburch #

@sara_elaine was just my way of making a trip to the store feel slightly less mundane…. in reply to sara_elaine #
it is snowing…. #
if it’s cold a gloomy, might as well have snow.. Bring it on!!! #
@Gamblest it wasn’t me, i promise.. in reply to Gamblest #
@RyanVelting ok…. Was kidding….. in reply to RyanVelting #
@sara_elaine haha! Couple days ago, about wanting snow, i made the comment “bring it on”.. Didn’t mean a whole winters worth in 1 night… in reply to sara_elaine #
@sara_elaine =) I meant to say that a LITTLE snow would nice.. I certainly should have clarified…. in reply to sara_elaine #
Keep hoping the neighbor guy will fall, hit his head, become disoriented, and start shoveling MY driveway thinking it is his… #
@sara_elaine i just can’t believe i was biking out on the road in December.. we were spoiled… now, time to face reality; MICHIGAN WINTER.. in reply to sara_elaine #
@sara_elaine all i can say is after Christmas, as far as I’m concerned, the snow can go away and summer can come back…. in reply to sara_elaine #
@sara_elaine have a bad feeling you are right about Jan and Feb.. something tells me going to be an extra-crappy winter… in reply to sara_elaine #

One more person refers to Thanksgiving as “turkey day”, and I’ll deck em’… #
@AnnieVanderLaan no kidding.. Seriously annoying… in reply to AnnieVanderLaan #
Just seems like something deeply troubling about a drive-thru liquor store.. Maybe it’s just me.. #

@AnnieVanderLaan ha! No, to me it’s the equivelant of people calling Christmas “x-mas”.. “Merry X-Mas”.. Just sounds stupid.. in reply to AnnieVanderLaan #
@pairadocsdesign nope.. It does not… in reply to pairadocsdesign #
great.. got out of shower, HBO changed from wholesome to something much less.. (aka porn). TV in plain view of large windows facing street.. #
fully expect neighbors to be picketing outside tomorrow with “pervert” signs… #
If the day continues in this manner, today may be the day I finally murder someone… #
Yet ANOTHER person that works for me has H1N1 Swine Flu.. Fantastic,. If I end up getting sick I’ll be pissed.. #
@becarp unfortunately, not at liberty to say. in reply to becarp #
Thank you Chinese food restaurant for the cockroach in my general tao’s chicken… Did I get charged extra for that??? #
@AnnieVanderLaan pumpkin.. in reply to AnnieVanderLaan #
@becarp not for one “company” per se, but yeah.. in reply to becarp #
@sara_elaine well, it starts with “Soul” and the second word rhymes with “Pardon”.. And minus the roach, the food was excellent… in reply to sara_elaine #
@becarp I wouldn’t feel bad about that.. Most women do.. in reply to becarp #
@becarp ha! i understand.. no fun. =( in reply to becarp #
@sara_elaine is it gross that i MAY have removed said roach, and finished my meal?? =O in reply to sara_elaine #
@sara_elaine i was hungry… =) in reply to sara_elaine #
Vagrant @ gas station just asked for gas money. I said “sure” and offered to pump it for him. Said no, just wanted the money.. Gas. Riight.. #
Dear radio personalities; please stop referring to thanksgiving as “turkey day”.. It sounds stupid and makes people change the station.. #
Almost forgot.. Leaving the house today, stepped outside, tv remote in hand, car keys inside the locked up house.. Thank god for hide key.. #
best part about “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is she finally realizes she wants to be w/ him, but its too late, and he tells her to eff off… #
@AnnieVanderLaan NOOOO!!! in reply to AnnieVanderLaan #
Why is it, that when faced with a 50/50 chance, I without fail choose wrong 100% of the time… #
The little old lady driving in front of me.. License plate; “IBNASTY”.. bet you are grandma!! Hahaha!!! http://yfrog.com/3nw6ij #
Came home to the smell of fresh baked pumpkin pie, still in the oven… Oh yeah… Be jealous… #
Not sure how I keep getting dragged back… Qdoba, for what you’re actually getting, is a ginormous ripoff… #
@sara_elaine Qdoba give you this pathetic half scoop of COLD meat, then act like you’re asking for their left kidney when asking for more.. in reply to sara_elaine #
Aahaha!! Live Twitter Billboard, EPIC FAIL.. http://j.mp/8YBIDp #
