Illuminate The NOs On Their Vacancy Signs

While I truly hate the song Soul Meets Body, I have to admit that I Will Follow You Into The Dark is one of the prettiest songs I have ever heard. What with that and Crooked Teeth there might be hope for Death Cab yet.

Ah the 4th of July. Nationalism, Patriotism, Jingoism. That's a hell of a lot of isms. I love the fireworks, and I like the idea behind what our country stands for. Just wish we actually stood for it more often, ya know? It's like unions...great in theory, shit in reality. There's a line to piss off the bluecollar forces.

At work here. Just doing 4 hours and then I have errands to run. Finally took back all of my bottles and cans to the recycle spots. Managed to get 10 bucks back. Not bad. I am heading to mom's later to look at the remodel and then to Dead Fred's to get groceries and a plant to replace the one I killed. Methinks a rubber tree plant like the one I have in the other corner. That one I have yet to kill. /knock wood

I dunno if we will have fireworks in Hillsboro since we have the airshow coming up the 15th and 16th. I know we have them Saturday night during the show. Caps off a weekend of having F-18s flying over my house! Seriously, the sonic boom is most impressive. You can count the rivets on those planes they fly so low.

Alrighty...nicotine calls and then coloring. Yippy!

With All Her Dreams Tied In Her Hand

10 hours and I am outta here. I am working 4 hours tomorrow and that is it.

Had a lovely weekend. H and I went to dinner and then had our cosmos and dessert and just hung out and talked all night. Yesterday I didn't even leave the house. Which was kinda pathetic since it was sunny and nice, but I had a good day just hanging out and reading. Had a Miss Clairol moment and got rid of the roots. Today felt like a Friday at the office. Very layed back. I was going to go over to the parentals and check out there kitchen remodel progress but I changed my mind on that one.

Wednesday I am going to go get the kidlet and take her to see The Devil Wears Prada. Should be good. Meryl Streep looks perfect for the part, and kidlet loves the fact that the Uber Bitch of the story has her name.

Talk about an I Want Candy moment...check this out















Now that website states that it "fits most." As fucking if. That wouldn't come close to fitting me. That model is a card carrying member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. And I bet it is fragile...remember those candy braclets? They broke if you looked at them cross-eyed!

This Is The Stuff Life's About...

...And It Trips Me Out

Fuck me running. Ended up at home yesterday with Mister AC Installer Man since my mom had to deal with an emergency doctor appointment for my grandfather. He was acting loopy as all get out, apparently. So of course, I didn't get all of June out on time and that fucks my stats for the entire year. Which fucks my raise, kthx.

On the bright side, AC is the shiznits. I finally had a decent nights sleep last night.

Have yet to hear from Miss H on our weekend bacchanalia so I need to call her. The shit part is I now have to work all day today and all day tomorrow. I was already planning on working 4 hours on the 4th as well. So much for doing me right, eh?

I don't have the kidlet (that I know of) on the 4th but I think I will go sit out on the big lawn in our neighborhood and see if I can see the fireworks. We could see them during the airshow out at the airport, so I am hoping I get a show. I love fireworks. I am a frustrated pyro at heart, me thinks. It comes from having a mother who literally stood over me with a hose in hand when I had my sparkler fun as a child. She is a bit uptight.

Since my OT will be going up the next two months I am pondering two expenditures. First off a laptop and wireless network. Second...MORE INK!

You can tell which I get more excited over :P
