Sassy Black Friend

Winner winner, but no chicken dinner

Nothing brings me more joy than sharing bits of trivia. But I hate those bar trivia games. Not because they’re bad, just because I don’t really like organized activities. Too much time spent on sports teams and lessons as a kid I guess. Plus, I can’t bring myself to feel competitive about things that aren’t important.

Anyhoodle, I have a note pad I always keep with me where I create lists of whatever. Grocery shopping, recipe ideas, to do items, and a ton of things to “look into” at some point.

It’s fun to look through and try to figure out why I chose something. Like I remember being in the car and wanting to find out what curt hitches are. But I have no idea why I was interested in soil density in the mid-Atlantic region. Or where the thought came from.

Just sayin

I know, I know, you’re still waiting.

While we wait

While we’re waiting for the Apocalypse to begin (staying close to doorways), Paul and I are spending our last moments thusly:

Also, I just found out the actual end of the world isn’t until October. Today is just the beginning of the end. Have maxed out credit cards for nothing : (

Today in Crazy Land

Wow. I had a fantastic experience today. I was closing out my storage unit that I’ve had for about a year. I’ve become fond of the guy who runs the place, so I spent a few minutes with him after turning in the keys. He’s always been funny and nice, and more importantly, not even remotely insane. Until today.

We talked about the weather like always, and then he lets loose with these two nuggets of wacko wisdom. First he asks if I’ve noticed more jet trails in the sky recently. No, but that’s not something I pay attention to. He says that the increase is because the government is shooting chemicals out of planes into the atmosphere. For experimentation purposes I guess.

He said “they’re also setting off all kind of bombs on the moon, all the time now.” Er, not really. I assume he’s talking about this, not some band of pyromaniacs blowing up all the nothing on the moon.

So, apparently, these two things are causing the weird weather we’ve been having this week. I heard it was just a warm front, but what do I know.

The more you know

Here’s some helpful life information from me to you. Airports are not joking about the whole unattended luggage thing.

Let’s say you’re waiting for three flights to arrive, so you have to actually park your car and wait inside. The first person you’re waiting for goes off to the bathroom and forgets to tell you they’re leaving a suitcase near you (but not in your sightline).

Phones ring, things get hectic. Long story slightly less long – badness insued. The security cameras and guards are on point. And we all got to the rehearsal dinner late. At least Little Sister’s cousin got her clothes back.

Song of the Day – Safety Dance

I defy anyone to be in a bad mood after watching this. From Glee.
