On with the randomness.

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

This weekend Sheesa came out to visit. It was a really nice visit, except she made us watch Dateline. On Saturday night, before we went out to dinner, we sat down to watch a little TV. And the first thing that comes up on the guide is “Dateline: Saturday Night”. And you would have thought that they said they would be airing a marathon of Lost and the Office. Sheesha was that excited.

But Dateline in our house? It was just really funny that she wanted to watch it.

And the only thing more exciting than seeing Sheesha is: OUR OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR IS MOVING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I repeat: SHE IS MOVING OUT! Our household was doing cartwheels and such. We are really excited. So excited that I made a curtain for our bedroom window and socks for our table.

The never-ending chapter

Friday, October 20th, 2006

I am outlining a chapter for my class and I swear it has taken over 10 hours thus far to complete the outline. This is the longest chapter EVAH!

p.s. potpies for lunch are yummy.

p.p.s. Sheesha is coming out this weekend and I am not working at the winery. And both of those things makes me very happy. VERY happy.

Had to share…

So in my short little lunch breaks, I sometimes have time to venture away from my religious readings to someone new…

So I went over to WULAD and his post on the pink ear plugs was just hysterical to me. Here is just a clip:

“Did this experience provide you with witty ideas for further women-only personal care products?

I’m already looking into patenting women’s dental floss (it’ll be pink), women’s Drano (pink and lavender-scented), a woman’s calculator (pink, and all operations result in “Don’t worry your pretty little head about it”), and a women’s dictionary (pink, and doesn’t include the words “science” or “promotion”). Also tampons for men.”

But I totally wish my calculator told me “Don’t worry your pretty little head about it” instead of incorrect negative answers for the quadratic equation. Seriously.

The cold

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Why is it when I get a cold I really do feel cold? Like two sweaters, a scarf, wools socks cold?

No amount of warm liquid is warming me up now. Total bummer.

But the bright side is that most people who have already had this say it isn’t severe and it only lasts a week. Now I just have to hope that I didn’t get pneumonia from our friends’ baby.
