Crackers & Oranges

Evidently, fast food places like to screw with me. Remember when I got a little bag of crushed peanuts to go with my french fries? Well, this time, it was the Seattle airport Wendy's giving me a head-scratcher - a packet of Saltine crackers to go with my mandarin oranges. Because those two so often go together, right? Ha! Oh, and they put a spoon in my bag, because evidently, mandarin oranges topped with Saltines are meant to be eaten with a spoon, not a fork. This is becoming so very amusing to me. Almost like my very own crackhead happy meal :)

Leave of Absence

Well, I've not written for a long stretch here now. If I owned a laptop, you would've got a tidy little story about my mishaps flying up to Washington state last week. (Which included running shoeless from security to the gate, peeing during turbulence, and contemplating giving a swift elbow to the man practically breathing on me in line.) But, alas, I don't own a laptop, so those creative bits bobbled around in my head for a brief moment and flitted away, instead of getting typed up.

After my return, I kept putting off posting any entries in the hopes that I'd be inspired and witty and full of entertainment. So much for that plan. My biggest news this morning is that I spilled enough coffee into my keyboard to have it trickle out when I flipped my keyboard over.

8 days to the new Mat Kearney - Ree Ree and I are super pumped about that!

Cute Lil Pink Blobby Thing

Everytime I leave the restroom at work, this little guy catches my eye. In reality, it's a blob of insulation that fell from the ceiling and got caught on one of the cross beams. But everytime I glance up and see it, I think it's a little octopus guy made from cotton candy. That dark dot on the top left is totally his eye. There isn't much at work to wake me up from the fog that surrounds me as soon as I step in the doors here. But little things like Candy Blob Guy help perk me up, and keep the tedium at bay. And it helps that I pee a whole lot, so I have lots of opportunities to gaze up and say hello to the guy.

I'm still half asleep and super non-creative - Any ideas for what to name him?
