First, to the guy who commented to his friend this morning that, "SOME people are apparently too good to look at the construction crew and say good morning," how about if we give some people a break at 7:20 on a Monday morning, huh? Also, I would like to just put something out there for everyone to know. When I walk, I must focus every bit of my ( Read more... )

Wow, that little message on my LJ home page that tells me it's been 5 weeks since I posted anything is really pushy. I've had a lot on my plate, alright? I was busy at work and then I went on vacation and then I came back to houseguests and a birthday party for two three-year-olds. I have stuff in my life. I can't just drop everything and make ( Read more... )

Mouse nest! In my bottom desk drawer! Mouse. NEST. The little fucker needs to find someone else to terrorize because I don't put up with that shit. Also, I threw away everything in all of my drawers that could even remotely be considered food and Lysolled the whole shebang. Blech!

Yesterday, as part of my job, I took a tour of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) forensic laboratories. The facility includes a balistics lab, a firing range, the latent room where they look at fingerprints, tire track, and footprints, the DNA lab where they do, well, DNA stuff, the trace lab where they do chemical analysis of soil, fibers ( Read more... )

In an ironic twist, I didn't get to eat sushi this weekend and yet the whole weekend wasn't ruined. I know! Saturday we dropped the girls off at my parents' house at nap time and went to a movie. We went for the Bourne thing, which I liked, but I've liked them all. We left there and went to REI to buy Derek some Keens because I am a total ( Read more... )

Some of my favorite things today:

Check out Zack's jammies!

Almost as good as the guy who called a time out during a police chase.

Yum!

My lack of love for John Cusack doesn't extend to Lloyd Dobbler.

• Update: I decided to leave the fate of the bottoms of my feet to chance. This morning, I lotioned only around the outside edges and have, thus far, remined upright.
  
  
• Of course, I'm also wearing a dress that, given any opportunity, will gap open in the front and show my goods (And make no mistake, they are good)to all and sundry.
  
  
• Just so you don't ( Read more... )

Lotion on the feet right before putting on sandals with both a smooth sole and a signifigant heel=falling on my ass multiple times. It was like a 3 Stooges sketch or something. Why can't I be all graceful and stuff like other women appear to be? At the very least, why can't I have lovely, naturally moisturized heels that don't require constant ( Read more... )

I've been using the same "empty" tube of toothpaste for 11 days now. I've decided it's a miracle. I keep thinking it's all gone and then another serving comes out of the tube. In my time of need, fresh mint manna from heaven is provided. Perhaps it's clean mint manna or cool mint manna. I can never remember. I'm expecting one of those ( Read more... )

Ok, I'm a complete idiot and cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to insert an image into a blog entry on Michelle's site. Oh, I push the button to insert an image, but nothing seems to happen. Or something does and I am just the aforementioned idiot.

Anyway, the boys has a name! And a face. Meet Nathaniel.
