Happy Graduation Hillsdale people-friends!!!!

I'm acquainted with houses too. As I walk up a street, each house seems to have darted ahead and to be waiting for me, looking at me out of all its windows, almost saying: "Hello! How are you getting on? I'm fine myself. And you know what? They're going to add another story to me in May!" Or: "How are you? Well, me, I'll have to undergo some ( Read more... )

So we're having a 20% of Everything, which for some reason includes postcards...(they're 25 cents...and 205 off. Bloody ridiculous), and the store is COVERED in signs that indicate as much, yet we still have people coming to the register going "is this on sale?" or "or really, that was 20% off?" or "Can you give me another discount?" For heaven's ( Read more... )

So work yesterday was miserable, because one evil-bitch-woman decided to have problems, which, alas might have resulted in a *tiny* flare of temper, which turned into an argument and cost us a sale and two over-rings, rather than just one.

So I'm finally in Colorado. After like...a week. It takes 2 and a half days to get here normally. So my Dad, his wife, and me, along with luggage for a week for them, and luggage for me two months all piled into Icarus the Great and had 2000 miles of bonding ( Read more... )

So I got to the Appalachains yesterday, and was awakened today by the sounds of trees dying around me. Yes, a bit Ferngully-ish, but apparently, pine beetles have been infesting and killing the white pines in the area, and some oaks are dead and leaning precariously over the mountain...and above the house, and are thus being removed. My dad's ( Read more... )

So here I am, playing archaeologist, and carefully exploring the detritus of the ages that has been accumulating for four years in my little room. Specifically the dresser-type layers, since I haven't gathered the courage or initiative to get spelunking gear for the Closet of Doom, which is, no doubt home to a terribly advanced civilization of ( Read more... )
