Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I have phone laziness. But if you do, it's for a 97 nissan sentra!

(Oh my god, I am so lame. Did I just outsource a phone call to the internet? To a place a spitting distance from where I sit? By a person a stone's throw away? Why, yes, I guess I did...)

They do! and they are open until 6.

haha! I love doing stuff like this, though! Also making appointments for friends. I would be a very good assistant if I could be VERY picky about who I was assisting.

Art Crawl!!!

It's 38 degrees out. I stupidly did not plan for this. I'm going to be a bit chilly on the way home. (A cardigan over a t-shirt is probably not enough warmth . . . even if it was 0 out last week, right?)

Bwahaha! Thank you, lisah! Maybe I'll get around to it this week...

People are willing to walk for seven minutes to get to a McDonald's.

I'm not willing to walk to a McDonald's from my car in the parking lot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You people are making me want McDonalds.

ME! If only I could afford to hire you and to hire sara (childcare!) and provide good benefits!

edit. on second thought, if I could afford to hire both of you with benefits, then I could also afford to stay at home and not work and do that stuff myself. Nevermind.

I drove away from one this weekend when the drive-through line wasn't moving fast enough.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Last time I had spare keys made, it was at the nearby Home Depot. They haven't been used yet. (I made them to give to the pet sitter who was going to give Boots her meds while we were away, but Boots passed on before that trip so the keys came back. I then gave a set to someone at the vet hospital who was going to look in on the kittens while we were away for the weekend, but she flaked on us. Luckily the kittens were ok, but I asked for the keys back)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I usually go to Ace Hardware for key cutting--they almost always do a good job, and if they do screw it up, they'll do new ones for free.

I can't wait to get out of here and pick up my new digital camera that's currently waiting for me at my apartment manager's office!! Oh, and I also think I have the oranges my dad's giving all of us kids for Xmas waiting (they said I had two packages there, and that's the only other thing I can think of that's coming via the post office). My very first digital camera--I'll be taking lots o' pics soon!
