Zara and Mike will marry

In an interview with Hello! magazine, Mike Tindall has confessed that he and royal girlfriend Zara will marry. The couple of six years recently bought a much larger home in Gloucestershire, but it seems they are going to have to wait for their scheduals to clear up. Tindall admitted that they want a nice big wedding, but currently Zara is just to busy with her riding and his rugby schedual keeps the couple apart too often as of now. In fact the pair finds it difficult to find time to even go on holiday together.

Mummy does not approve

Sarah Ferguson does not approve of her daughter, Princess Eugenie's choice of university. Eugenie will be attending Newcastle U in the fall, but her mother was disappointed she did not choose a brainier school as she pulled the grades for a place such as St. Andrews or Bristol. Eugenie chose Newcastle as most of her public school chums are attending and she has reportedly said that socializing is just as important part of going to university as actually studying.

Capitalizing on Royal Connections Kate?

Kate Middleton is said to be picking the brain of Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson for the benefit of her parents business Party Pieces. To be fair, Kate's parents built the company from scratch into a multi million dollar business. But now through their daughters royal connections they have been able to form what could be a very lucrative partnership with Branson and his Virgin Empire. In a sharp turn away from their bread and butter providing party supplies, Party Pieces will now offer surfing lessons and football trips in conjunction with Virgin.

Zara and Mike's New Love Nest

Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall are the proud new owners of an $1.6 million home in Gloucestershire, England. The home was purchased in April and since, the couple has spent a further $500,000 on renovations. Previously the couple had been living free of charge in a two bedroom cottage on Princess Anne's Gloucestershire estate, Gatcombe Park. The move will ease transportation issues for Mike as the home is closer to his rugby training ground. Mike was recently banned from driving for three years in January.

The purchase of this royal starter home will be seen as further evidence that Zara and Mike will be the next royal's to walk down the aisle. Zara's brother Peter wed long time girlfriend Autumn Kelly in May of last year. Mike was quoted as saying that he and Zara both want children, but that they had yet to set a date for a wedding.

Slipping Away

It seem's I'm slowly losing a friend. My little. It looked for a brief moment this spring like we were getting closer, but she's been odd all summer. My gut instinct is that she's mad that Adam and I are back together. To be frank, that is none of her business to begin with. I honestly feel, that she has given me more than enough reason over the years to have cut off our friendship long before now yet I haven't. It's time to just let go of a bad situation. I have enough good things to keep me occupied than to worry about her immaturity.

Not Good

So in a couple of weeks I have plans with by best friends to go down to the Jersey Shore for the weekend. Well this morning I found out a sister from my sorority that I can't stand and a group of younger sisters are planning on going down to the shore for a weekend. I don't know if it's the same weekend, but I sincerely hope it's not. I will not be a happy camper.

Puma fears

I just took my min pin outside to do her business, And for the past couple of days I have been nervous when letting her out. In this weeks town newspaper there was a report of a mountain lion seen crossing the road a couple of miles west of me. A couple of years ago there were a myriad of reports claiming an adult and a baby puma were roaming the area, one being spotted only two blocks from my house. And just a night or two ago my dog absolutely refused to go out the back door right after night fall. She just huddled on the step and cried until I just gave up and let her back in. Now I'm a little fearful of bumping into said puma in my backyard. I've come face to face with black bear, but I really am terrified of the thought that a big cat is roaming around out there.

Now, I must say that the state game comission is scoffing at the latest reports of puma sightings like they always do. It's a little suspicious that the state is determined to deny the existance of a moutain lion population considering they made a big to do about a decade ago when they introduced them back into the state. My guess is they don't want to cause a panic if they continue to make forays into populated areas.

Jenna Hager

I was just trolling the gossip sites today and noticed an article that People had on Jenna Hager, formerly Bush. It's nice to see a former "Wild Child" settling well into a mature adult mode. She's happily married and doing charitable work for UNICEF. Kudo's

Welcome to a little slice of my life. I'm a college educated resident of Appalachia...go figure. I love it here.

Basically I'm a walking talking rubik's cube still trying to figure myself out. Come along for the ride.
