Yah I'm a sucker but Liza had such cute baby dragons I had to go steal my own. Please click so they live. Apparently they live by popularity contest.

So we are all moved in here. Well... it's in here and all in boxes. It should be nice when it's all set up. Anyway, Mosaic is here this weekend. Does anyone want to go?

I just had to post this because well I would be in Gryffindor. I mean come on the symbol is a cat. That and the percentages work out about right for the other houses too.

I haven't posted in forever so I decided to fix that by posting a quiz result. Yah me. Just as a note I only asked Jim for help on one answer.

I'm special. I have managed to shoplift from Amazon not just once but twice! The first time I grabbed some random book on making jewelry. The next time I swipped a few things I had ordered which had already been delivered. Okay, so I don't think before I swipe but how many people can steal accual objects by working online? If I manage to swipe more things I'm selling it on ebay.

And just a quote from overheard in New York because it's in line with the season and working in retail.


In the Same Way that Those WMDs Were 'Sold Out'

Loud customer: Do you have She-Ra: Princess of Power?
Cashier: No, we don't carry it.
Loud customer: It's sold out?
Cashier: No. We don't carry it.
Loud customer: It's sold out?
Cashier: ...Yes.

Loreena Mckennit is coming out with a new album "An Ancient Muse". It should be coming out in November. Check out some bits and pieces at http://www.quinlanroad.com/explorethemusic/anancientmuse.asp

Okay I had to try this meme.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123. (I assume you mean the closest book with 123 pages :oP)
3. Find the fifth sentence. (the thesaurus doesn't have sentences)
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

The first book I pick up only has 120 pages so that doesn't work but the next one does, so here goes.

"He would be bold, fearless, unafraid of death or torture! He stole from his father's house in the dead of the night and took the southward road. He also stole three loaves of bread, a handful of coppers, and his brother's best cloak to get him started on his journey. Willibald performed his first miracle simply by not getting himself killed on the road to Rome."

Saint Willibald's Dragon By Esther M. Freisner


Boldness! Fearlessness! And the Miracle of not getting killed!

So I was looking at the great meme that the put up and saw the song that she put up for me. I then had to go look it up. ( Read more... )



I have kitty lips/eyes/nose, Meow! Purrrrrrrrrr.

On a side note I found this hilarious given who I'm married to as it relates to the naming of my boobies.

Jim's up sick and in pain, so that means I'm up too. Those of you that pray, please add Jim to your list.

Well.... this is a lot like my last post. Jim is going away for a week to be a chaplin person at a kids Christian camp. I have a few days off together during this time and rather then sit at home alone I plan to come into town. This would be the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th of July. Now, the 8th is booked with driving and seeing parents and stuff and on the 11th I will have to leave at a decent time in order to be back to get sleep because I work early on the 12th. Beyond that, I am open to suggestions.

I have a plan..... My plan is to come in on the weekend. I would like to see some people.

billietallent if you are available, since I have said that next time I came in I would try to see you, this means you. (wow, that sentence makes little sense...) Any way drop me a line, here in comments if you can or can plus when etc and we will confer on detals.

McCall I said I would talk to you as well, so send me a line on what works for you.


If others have an idea or something in wanting to see/do something with me weigh in. I just mention McCall and billietallent specifically because I was chatting with them at an earlier time.

Damn it. I've been tagged by a song. C is for cookie, it's good enough for me. C is for cookie, it's good enough for me. C is for cookie, it's good enough for me. Cookie cookie COOKIE! starts with C!


So six weird habits/things you do/odd information. This is hard.

1. It really messes with me when my toes are in the wrong order but I can't do anything about it if I am getting head scritches. The world has been saved from destruction many times by well times head scritches. I'm mostly helpless against them.
2. I am prone to impromptu kitchen dances.
3. There are more of me then most people realize and most of them can be found in web comics.
4. While I am not the worlds best housekeeper there are things which just 'have their place' and must be in obsesively in order.
5. My size depends on my mood. When I am in a good mood I tend to be little and cute, when I'm gumpy or angry I grow in size.
6. I tend to hiccup only once but sneeze in two's or three's.

Okay...I had/am working at a personal care home, doing baking and basic housework type stuff. It was okay. The main problem was that the house had cats and a smoker which doesn't sit well with my allergies. I thought I could handle it that I wouldn't react too badly but it is getting worse for me. So, I was looking for another job. This morning I dropped off a resume at the drug store in town which was advertising for someone to work casual part time. This evening I get a call saying I got a full time job with benifits and I can start Monday. No, interview less then 12 hours between resume and job. Alrighty then. So that's my news. No more smokey place! I talked it over with my home care worker boss and it's okay with her. She had a feeling that I was going to be moving on. So that's that.

I got a pet! My first pet ever because I don't think the spider in the corner of the bathroom in my parents basement counts. Since I am trying to work my husband up to pets slowly we got fish. We got a tank and filter and stuff and two fish. We are planning on getting more fish later. We have two goldfish. One is kind of a browny silver, that one is Jim's, the other is orange on top and bottom and white in the middle, that one is mine. My fish is named Miney. A combo of mine and tiny, or a short form of Hermione who has a white/orange cat. Jim hasn't named his yet. They are so cute, swimming around.

I just though this was interesting.

Which Firefly (or Serenity) Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla


You're First Mate Zoe Warren! You are a strong and

capable veteran, loyal first to your captain,

and then to your husband, the pilot. It

makes for some messy shipboard dynamics

sometimes, but it's comrades like you that

make a crew like this work. You will do

whatever it takes to get everybody out of a

jam in as few pieces as possible. You're

never afraid to say what you think, but you

are very aware of the responsibilities of

rank. Still, when you want something, you

don't intend to let anything stand in your

way.

I like that. Dame.

A Paraphrased conversation.


Jim: I would hate to be a truckdriver
Darla: Why?
Jim: Suicide by truckdriver. You know when people throw themselves in front of big moving vehicles.
Darla: I've never heard of that before. I've heard of suicide by cop. Hmmmmm. I suppose you could do it by car if you were hit right.
Jim: People don't do it by car because it's only if you hit right.
Darla: Regular trucks wouldn't do either there not big enough.
Jim: Well, yah, hence the truck driver, you don't usually term regular truck owners that way. You go splat with semis, cars and trucks don't have the same force. (It's the tone of voice you have to imagine here. That makes my reaction make a little more sense.)
Darla: Jim! Of course cars and trucks don't have the same force, you bounce off more. I was just talking out loud. (tone of voice indicates that a response wasn't needed, of course I knew that semis are better then cars or pick up trucks if you're going kill yourself in traffic.)

(Big pause. Laughter.)

Jim: I responded because you were talking out loud, in the middle of a conversation. You forgot to mention that you were thinking out loud and so didn't need a response.

Darla: I was just saying what was going on in my head so that you would know. Talking out loud, in the middle of a conversation. Who woulda thunk?


(I don't know if I've captured the conversation right. It's just another example that being with a Darla means not knowing who she's talking to even if you are in the same room, or in this case having a conversation.)
