Heh heh. I had a dream that my sister-in-law, some girl I didn't know and I were getting pedicures in Michigan (I don't know how I knew it was Michigan). We went to some fancy nail salon. My SIL was getting her pedicure done by a woman who worked in the salon, but MY pedicure was being done by Martin Brodeur*! When I first walked into the place ( Read more... )

We got a new mattress a month ago, a really nice Sealy pillow top thing. Well, it turned out to be way too soft and made me more uncomfortable and wakeful than even the cheapass 7-year-old thing we had before. The place we bought it allows one exchange in the 30 day period, so we switched to the plush, not pillow-top, version of the same bed. It ( Read more... )

I like it when I find funny news articles. They cheer me up, because most of the news sucks. I found two entertaining stories yesterday ( Read more... )

Agh, I have a rotten headache. I hope it's just a headache and not a migraine beginning. I have had so few of those that the chance is slim, but migraines sure do suck. It's probably just a caffeine headache. I'm temporarily abstaining from my daily soda at work. Can you really get addicted when you drink only 12 oz. of Dr. Pepper every day ( Read more... )

You've probably heard me ranting about my bosses that always come to work sick. Well, I've decided that the only behavior I can change is my own. I'll wash my hands a lot, use lysol and do other things like that to prevent myself from getting sick, regardless of how inconsiderate others are. That's not to say that I'll NEVER complain about it ( Read more... )

My husband and I share a car. He's working on a doctorate at the university where I work. After he drops me off at work at 8am, sometimes he parks the car and takes a little nap before his 10:10 class. Well, today was one of those days and unfortunately he forgot to turn the headlights during his approximately-1.5-hour nap so our battery is dead ( Read more... )

One of my bosses will be reading from On the Origin of the Species on Tuesday (12:05pm in front of the Diffenbaugh Bldg, in case any of my Tally peeps are ( Read more... )

The vet called just before lunch to tell me that Zora is fine. She has some kind of weird-ass oral problem, but for the time being it has cleared up and her gingivitis was minor. Next I tackle the fun of brushing her teeth 3 times a week. I'm sure I'll have many humorous stories about that ( Read more... )

This morning we dropped off Zora (see icon) at the vet to get her teeth cleaned. I wish I could watch them do it. I think I would find that kind of thing interesting. I wonder how doped up she will be when she gets home. Even though the chances are very slim that anything will happen, I loved on my cat a lot this morning in case something bad ( Read more... )

I was thinking about danger lately, and the things that human beings do to purposefully put themselves in danger ( Read more... )
