Sorry, but twice in one week I’ve got nothing for you.
It’s been a long two weeks at work, I’m still a bit freaked out after my encounter with 27″ TV Guy, and today was the last weekend before students come back, so we did a lot of stocking up ($400 split between cleaning supplies and sundries at Target and groceries at Giant Eagle kind of stocking up.) Add running Grandmom around to that, and the laundry that needs done, and I’m burnt out.
My creative engines are out of gas.
In the meantime, I’ll steal a page from Janiece and MWT and Eric and let you ask me questions if you so desire. Ask anything you want, but realize you’ll only be getting PG-13 answers. :)
Here are some search terms from just this month!
how do i sign mountain dew in american sign language
My guess would be to vibrate until you’re a blur.
pissy
You’ve come to the right place.
jewish folktale grandfather and the wooden bowl
I’ve read multiple versions of that tale. I think it crosses ethnic boundaries.
ook librarian
My favorite too!
things that make guys mad
My guess is 1) running out of beer and 2) women.
former yugoslavia senses working overtime
OK, I could understand if those were two separate searches, but a single search? What on earth were they really looking for? Did XTC do a Yugoslavia album?
please leave message picture
I’m trying to imagine what kind of picture that would be… and failing.

Okay, it really thinks I’m a hermaphrodite.
I don’t think that’s better.

Apparently men don’t shop at Gardener’s. Too bad I had to order more compost bags and filters–they ruined my stats!
But if I delete Garderner’s from my history:

I get the exact same ratio I had on my work computer.
It’s been a long two weeks. I got nothing for you, except that I can’t wait until this week is over. I’ve been mulling over a post about Hillary supporters for awhile now, but can’t seem to get up the gumption to write it.
So instead, come on in, grab some cookies and/or beer, and tell me how things have been going.
This means you Gina and Susan. ;) And Becky, I know you’re taking the quizzes. Come on in and chat for awhile!
(And now I feel like a stalker, except can you really stalk your own website?)
Nathan asked, “Any chance you’re going to tell us what was out of stock but is now on the way?”
And I warned him that it was geeky loot, and most people probably wouldn’t be amused.
Too bad! I’m amused!
I ordered….
(more…)
I came home today and found two packages on the porch. One was an expected package from Coldwater Creek (Cotton sweaters on SALE!) The other package was from G + H with a NY address.

These e-mails made my day.

Stick a fork in me, I’m done.
Here it is way past my bedtime, and I’m still awake and on the computer. I had a long day today, and have an even longer day tomorrow, so I really do need to get to sleep. I mean, tomorrow I get to do a presentation before some of the Pharmacy faculty, and then teach any of that group who show up in the afternoon, how to use the software I’m presenting.
Really should be asleep.
Yup. I’m tired and worn out.
Not sleeping yet.
(sigh)
Longevity checks came today!
(happy dance)
Another busy morning at work, and then Michael and I are taking the afternoon off. Probably going to go to the movies, but who knows for sure?
Why today? Because this is pretty much the last chance for him to take any time off until after the semester starts.
Feel free to entertain yourselves in the interim. Just don’t leave any beer bottles on the floor where my grandmother might trip over them.
Two things:
1) Appalling!
2) 27″ TV Guy
Discuss.
I’m somewhat startled to discover that I have at least three illiterate dogs taking my polls.
In the atrium/lobby area of our portion of the facility there are two types of lights. Large lights hanging the ceiling and slightly smaller metal lights attached to the walls.
Over the weekend, one of lights attached to the wall fell down.
If you look at it, you can see that the contracts did NOT, in fact, attach these large metal lights to a stud, but instead just used anchors to attach them to the wall.
Upon further inspection, several of the other lights are starting to pull away from the wall, including a light over a doorway, and a light near the front desk where people frequently stand.
And people wonder why the renovation of the old library is being done in-house.
I was just doing bills, looked at Quicken, and realized we have only two payments left on our car.
TWO!
Then it’s ours, free and clear, and that’s extra money that can go into savings. Or pay for our trips this fall. Or pay for the new wood stove.
AWESOME!
