I have three pretty decent sized rolls of bubble wrap and may be able to snag more throughout the day. WHOO!
It really doesn't take much to make me happy. This may mean that I can pack up a bunch of my lesser used kitchen breakables this weekend. GOOD TIMES!
There's an inch of snow on the ground outside. It's still snowing.
Snow now? What's with Utah this year? Didn't you guys have relatively warm weather while we on the East Coast were digging out from record snows? I thought by this time of year, you all were supposed to go skiing in shorts.
Thieves attempt to replace a replica Stone of Scone with another, fraudulent replica: [link]
The gang hauled the sandstone boulder off its plinth and replaced it with the lookalike, undeterred by the fact the palace stone is a century-old replica of the original, which left Scone some 700 years ago.
E had a make-up soccer game last evening. Like most of the games this season she didn't really go after the ball, and often sort of stood and watched. Unfortunately this is the last season she'll be young enough for the recreational leagues. If she wants to keep playing she'll have to join a competitive team. I think we'll have to have a talk about needing to play harder if she wants to keep doing this. I can't see sitting at the end of a bench being fun or good for her.

It's my kind of meet cute.
I cannot find my security badge this morning.
Grr.
On the up side, it's boots day (juliana Caterpillars, denim blue lace-up work-style almost to the knee). So that's something. Now to move my car out of the paid parking and buy myself some breakfast.

I don't think it's right, but it might also be a mistake that he's used to.
So, is today over yet? How about now?
Now?
My nephew has decided to go to college at ETSU and follow his Bluegrass music dream. I don't suppose anyone here is anywhere near Johnson City, TN?

Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.
