Happy birthday Erin!

Happy Dishwasher, vw!

I just got done reviewing the tape from yesterday. Looks like our cashier cleared at least $80, ugh what a doofus. At one point he pockets money right in front of another cashier, who I adore. Gosh I hope that kid's not doing it too.

Hah! Chickenhawk does only make me think of gay men, but the "son, I say, son" is cracking me up.

Even through this stupid headache I have. Bleha.

Does no one illegally download music on macs anymore? Tech thread is being no help. And I'll be damned if I have to pay for music I already bought...stupid rassen frassen hard drive.

I also need to find all my stupid bookmarks of various blogs and useful websites (like the seattle public library, etc) and re-bookmark those. But my head hurts. I dont' wannnnnnnnna. I wanna whine instead. Won't someone come clean my house and do my laundry and pat my head and put ice on it? :(

I am waxed, and I bought a flippy black skirt and an assymetrical cardigan thingie at UO, and a convertible Very Sexy bra at VS.

I stil have Nothing to Wear. I think I will put on the flippy skirt and some fishnets and go looking for a sexy top, after I fix my hair and slap on some makeup. I can do this in two hours, right?

Shit. meara, forget the headache and the cleaning and come help me find something semi-slutty.

Happy Birthday, Erin!

Me:

Have I mentioned lately that I have the world's best boyfriend?

vw:

I don’t know. I might have to argue that one again. CBD is taking me out to look at a dishwasher from Craigslist later today. If we like it, he’s going to buy it for me. Ah! A DISHWASHER!!!!!!! SO exciting and wonderful!

CBD is truly a man of both intelligent thriftiness and generosity. Good thing we don't actually need to keep score on this. Every evidence that there might be a man in this world who qualifies as World's Best Boyfriend, only increases the happiness.

Daniel:

Isn't Craigslist wonderful? I've picked up many things from there.

And I'm still not sure which I am more impressed by - the free clothes dryer in good condition, or fact that you not only hefted it down to the basement by yourself (I assisted, but that was just steering, Daniel was doing the lifting), but also hefted the old one up the stairs.

Won't someone come clean my house and do my laundry and pat my head and put ice on it? :(

Hairpats I can do, but I'm working too hard at avoiding my own laundry to be any use to you there.

Splenda chocolate chip cookies.

Apparently there are two kinds of cats, those who are freaked out by floor-cleaning robots, and those who ride them: [link]

I went out in the rain to check on mom's cat.

He's fine. I left my cell there and had to go back.

Then I got upstairs and realized I had to go to my car.

I am wet. I have a headache but at least there is power.

Exactly. He can't deliver southern states or working class whites, and he won't energize Hilary supporters.

Hmm, I don't really agree. First off, I think the idea of a vp pick delivering southern states in the first place is myth - has it actually happened since Johnson? But he probably does mean PA is much, much more certain territory, and he does have a lot of union/working class pull. As to Hillary supporters you may be right, but he does have solid cred on women's issues, much more than some of the other names that were bandied about. (Kaine, Webb, etc.) I don't know that he'd have been my first pick, but I'm pretty optimistic about this. (Plus, he's a lot of fun on the stump.)

has it actually happened since Johnson?

Nope. And Johnson only delivered Texas, and from what I understand, that was more of a state party machine thing than a great regional popular love-fest. If this election cycle breaks apart the whole nasty solid south business (which, incidentally, I really think it might), it's because Obama himself has huge support here compared to any recent Dem candidate I can remember, not because of any pandering he could've done with the VP pick.

Happy birthday, Erin!!!

Tropical Storm Fay can leave now. More rain dumped on this area today. I think I might have to build a boat.

Yesterday, DH and I ventured out during some of the lighter weather. I ended up doing some shopping and found a great solid black skirt, a black skirt with white embellishment and an odd asymmetric hem, and a great black jacket with white embroidery.
