While in the airport, going through the security check, I could have sworn the guy said "Please remove your wallet, CHEESE, belt or any other metal objects from your person." It took me a minute to realize he said keys. For a minute there, I thought there was a ban on dairy products along with nail clippers and lighters. On a related note, I can understand sending tennis shoes and dress shoes through the x-ray machine, but how on earth is somebody going to hide something in a wafer thin flip flop?! That poor girl really, really didn't want to walk barefoot on the nasty airport floor and I can't blame her. All in all, the whole airport thing was a lot less annoying than I expected it to be. But MAN am I glad to be home in Oregon :)

I am getting ready to go to Burning Man, and I have been collecting costumes for months. The other day, I tried on a bunch of stuff that I had bought to see what went with what, etc. I was very distressed to find that several of the clothing items I had purchased no longer fit my marginally larger ass, including the very cool fuzzy zebra miniskirt that matches my hunny's zebra pants and hat. Hunny pointed out that I could either buy more costumes or not eat anything for two week. So......... I ate a Snickers bar on the way to Goodwill! Yeah, it's the easy way out, but way more fun!

I have just discovered that it is not a good idea to eat a bagel with peanut butter while trying to type emails. Oops! I think the PB is just on the top of the keys. (I hope)

My horoscopes lately have all been about work and conquering challenges. Here is today's: Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) The next four weeks can draw you out of your current responsibilities and let you move into a more fun-loving and social time. Adventures with friends may open the door to new love -- or perhaps you discover a new group of like-minded playmates. The bottom line: get out and enjoy yourself while the getting is good. That's more like it!!!!!

I am a Fridge! You can keep your cool, even when faced with a heated situation. You enjoy being the center of attention, and people come to you for advice or when they want something. People also like to stick things to the front of your body. Take the test here.

It's no secret that I have been very unmotivated at work lately and would much rather be many other places. But life is frequently about attitude. So in the interest of putting things in perspective...... Work is better than....... -a poke in the eye -a root canal -getting up at 4am for any reason other than a fabulous vacation to somewhere tropical -cat scratches -boring lectures -digging ditches in the hot sun -getting a splinter -washing somemone else's feet -spraining your ankle -having insomnia

There are not enough hours in the day to do everything I need to do. This is especially true on weekends, where some strange time-space continuum thingie makes the time run faster. Also, it should be illegal to have to start work before 10:00am on Mondays.
