I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hairbands get shot up into the air more than they just fall out of a ponytail, in my experience.

I just saw the Colbert story on Vacco, KY. Fantastic.

Quadruplets? I can't even imagine. Thompson does seem a bit weird as a girl name--if you gave me that list I might've guessed Elliott as the girl first!

I read a birth announcement at a work site the other day--a family that had four daughters already had another birth...of triplets, two girls and a boy. Good lord!

It crossed my mind, and I hope that's what it was.

Of course if there's a key floating around that you don't know who has it, changing the locks would be prudent.

Oh, right, Chris Kluwe is a Raider now. Nice punt, buddy.

Got another voicemail from a persistent plant donator (sp?) that said he was moving today, if we still wanted his plants. I figured wth, let me kill time driving to this dude's house. We load up, and then he offers to help unload and he'll walk back. I say sure, because I'm me, and therefore stupid.

He kind of looks like Guy Pearce, and has a very formal way of talking. The longer we sat in the truck talking, the more I heard in my head "That Ted Bundy was such a nice man. So polite and quiet".

This is after he said that I could turn off my Garmin and he'd take me the scenic route back.

While he's holding a spiky cactus in his lap.

I haven't been that uncomfortable since I was seventeen and had decided that sleeping in a strangers van seemed the better choice over the three people I'd have been sharing the small French bus station floor with (see: stupid, it apparently doesn't go away with age).

Hooray for not being put into a freezer in parts!

Thankfully, I had an icecream party for one of our interns to get to, so I didn't have to linger with him in the greenhouse.

And thankfully, he's moving to Indiana to live with his mother (sorry, I'm still on the SK bent, and that sitch had me thinking of taxadermy) so I don't have to deal with him anymore.
