Update

I just have to say I love AAA and how nice I friendly they are. They're quick an efficient and so helpful. And they got me to the tire shop before it closed where I met two really nice and friendly tire guys.

Sorry, let's back up.

I hit a curb today. Ergo I blew out two tires. How was your day?

Because I need a laugh today.

New Stuff

So I didn't do much this weekend but relax and walk. I did some of my favorites by going to La Conner and the zoo. So sorry, no pictures because I'm pretty sure you've seen it all. :)

Stuff is crazy at work with drama I just don't want to be a part of. So I walked to think this weekend and de stress. It helped until I went back to work today (shoot I was hoping it'd last) but it was nice I was able to leave early.

But two things I'm excited about. While I'm excited and still loving my phone the battery gets sucked dry so quickly and I found something when I was looking for a new phone case. I love it so much. It's called a Powerskin (It sounds kinda dirty right? Maybe it's just where my mind goes.) and it has a built in battery so you basically get two batteries and twice the power. So in love.

P.S. They have lots of other cases that you can find here.

And my twin sister had her baby this past week and he's adorable. Meet Holden Andrew.

I need something to do this weekend.

So this is the first weekend that I don't have at least one activity planned. Help?

Oh, maybe I'll go hiking, we'll see. It's supposed to be really hot out...

I want to post but don't really have anything. So I'm just going to post some rather random stuff right now okay?

BTW all this stuff I learned on NPR today.

Did you know that China makes most of the world's vaccinations? Including all of ours? As in, the U.S. as a whole does not make it's own vaccines. At all. Period. So apparently no matter what China does we have to stay on their good side or we're screwed.

I don't understand why we can't make any of our own vaccinations. What if something were to happen to China's supply of vaccinations? Or there was a worldwide epidemic and they decided we weren't on the short list so we didn't get much of anything. Or they just got really pissed at a decision (any decision) we made not even involving them and decided to stop sending us everything.

But apparently our brilliant plan (Instead of obviously making our own vaccinations. And as a side side note, do you know the amount of good paying jobs this could potentially create? Probably a lot.) is to stockpile heroin and morphine at Fort Knox (no kidding) because instead of curing anyone we just want to alleviate their pain while they die because we won't be able to do anything else. Does this make sense to anyone? Anyone? Also, we're stockpiling heroin?!? I thought that was something no one was supposed to have. But I guess if it's our end of days the government doesn't mind creating addicts out of a whole bunch of us. What if the end of days is a false alarm and things are able to be restored to normal? Then we'll have a whole new crop of heroin users that the government created. I can just imagine the spin that would happen with that.

My message to the government: stockpile vaccines you idiots that way we can CURE people instead of getting them high while they die. Yay, go us.

Happy Wednesday? :)

Mundane and Fun.

So this weekend I basically relaxed. Only going where I needed to go and doing what I needed to do. I had some ideas of plans but I ended up thinking sleeping in was better. (That and watching trashy television but we won't go there. I'm kind of ashamed of the shows I picked up. Well, one show, the other one I've watched in the past.) I went grocery shopping (I just capitalized the g in grocery, apparently my subconscious thought it was an important activity) mowed the lawn, cleaned, talked to family and made an angel food cake.

Oh yeah, and last evening, I saw the Weepies. I have loved them since I heard their song "World Spins Madly On" and I love Deb Talan all by herself. Double win. And I love zoo concerts because they're cheap and they bring in amazing artists. Granted you may not necessarily get a great view but I'm really there for the music. And see? You can see them on stage, even if they are tiny. (see below)

I just wish I had known who was in their line up earlier because I would have done my damndest to see Marc Cohn. I love me some Marc Cohn, so much so he's been one of my favorite artists since Middle School. I think I should have taken it as a hint when I was swapping cassettes with my Science teacher Mr. Costa in 8th grade. (True story)

They were the opening act and the headliner was Amiee Mann who's I'm sure a great artist but the only song I know by her is "Voices Carry" from 1985. I clearly have not kept up on her music and so even though it was a concert on a Sunday night (it started at 6pm) I felt no volition to stay to listen to her (Sorry Amiee! But I don't really think I hurt her feelings. Did I mention how cheap tickets were?) So I got to hear The Weepies, one of my favorite bands and get home early to go to bed for work today. Yes I know this makes me lame and old. But again I felt no need to listen to Amiee unless she would have been opening for The Weepies and then I would have gladly listened to her.

Happy Monday all. Pictures below.

I love technology.

Until I realize that I am everyone's go to person at work to teach them how to use it. How come I don't remember this? It takes this realization EVERY TIME to remember. Hi, I'm slow.


So we got new copiers at work this week and I mainly use the efaxing capabilities. The old one was a pain in the ass (I only realized this when we got the new one. again, slow) but at least I could efax even if it required quite a few steps.

Our new copier? One step. (yes the step is a little involved but I don't have to leave the copier and go back to my computer to finish efaxing. Did I say I love this? Oh, I did. :)

A couple things for today.

Number one.
I need to learn how to be less lazy. Last weekend (so I guess two weekends ago) I was in my bathroom and decided that I need to use my favorite tweezers as a screwdriver. I didn't have a screwdriver in the bathroom and apparently it was too far to walk downstairs to where they are stored. They're in the kitchen so it's not like I even have to go to the garage or the basement for them. Well I bent the metal rendering them useless. I then started to look at my other pairs of tweezers and they all looked the same way. Apparently I have a problem... I finally broke down this morning and got a new pair because none of my other pairs work.
Note to self: bring a set of screwdrivers upstairs. (Oops, I just remembered I have an all in one combo screwdriver in my bedroom. You didn't read that.)

Number two.
I'm not so sure about this whole Google+ thing. What do you call it when you add something? You plussed it? You oned it? What? I'm not all that down with Twitter (or checking in where I'm at either) but at least there you can say you tweeted. Google+ leaves me a little confused. I don't know how much I'll use it but maybe it will grow on me. We'll see. I really use blogger the absolute most.

Happy Tuesday all.
