TIL - my garden is growing like gangbusters! One good thing came out of this dark, rainy week.

I love my little house. I love my town. I love that I am feeling like I am where I am supposed to be.

over caffienated today! Damn you, new Keurig!

Yes Yes YES! I love it. As a kid we went a lot. I learned how to cook breakfast from my dad, cooking out on a Coleman stove. We had a pop-up camper for a little while, too. Now I have whole bunch of my own gear, and I'm going to a music festival this July with dad and some friends. I have been going about once a year, for as long as I can remember.

ooooooh. Mine's terrible. This was about 8 years ago now, I was driving north on the Garden State Parkway on a Sunday night, about 11pm. I got pulled over because a State trooper clocked me at 97MPH in a 55MPH zone. No one even believes me when I tell the story, because no one believes my tiny old car can even go that fast. I've completely changed since this incident, which was very very scary and very expensive with insurance and court costs. I have since even moved back "down the shore" so I never have to travel that stretch of highway on a weekend night!

Beth - jealous you got some UK papers! That's a great b-day present. A friend I work with was at the royal wedding (for work), and was supposed to bring me back a souvenir, but had to rush back due to the news of UBL's demise. I appreciated that he got back so soon and helped with that situation, but man was I disappointed when he came back with no schwag! Its the British tabloids online for me.

a talker. I love hanging out with people who all talk at once!

1. Do you like car rides? yes. 2. Where is the last place you took a long car ride to? from NJ to RI 3. What do you like to do on long car rides? drink coffee, sing, look out the windows. 4. Do you have AAA or any type of roadside assistance? Yes, and I buy my sister's membership every year, too. AAA has saved my life before! 5. Can you read a map or do you go strictly by instruction? I have a pretty terrible sense of direction, so I usually go with a GPS, and then a printed map for backup, and then written-out turn by turn directions as a backup to that! 6. Finish the sentence: What a nice ___Chevy Volt_______.

I can't stand the allergies lately. I'd like to slice my nose right off my face, but I would look really stupid if I did that!

I would love to learn how to do glasswork! Beth, your husband made some mad cool furniture. I need to do something with my father so I can show off his stuff online, maybe his garage workshop gets its own facebook page??? I'm not into the facebook (yes, I'm the only one I know who's not on, too!) I have a profile on ravelry (pierfox), but i really haven't put many things on there so far.

I love homemade gifts, but I don't really get many. Except from my father - he makes furniture and my house is full of his creations. I make things to give as gifts a lot - mostly knitted and crocheted blankets and afghans. Probably everyone I've known in the past 6 or 8 years that has had a baby, I've made a blankie for them. I have two in the planning stages right now, this reminds me I have to get started!

ok. I finally got to use the restroom. Whoo. I'm old fashioned in a lot of ways, I guess. My parents are going to be celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary this summer. Most people think that is pretty old-fashioned. I was raised to think that's normal!

AMEN sister! This afternoon I've been waiting 1 hour 15 minutes for my co-worker to get back from "lunch".

I love that scene in Office Space. I actually took a hammer to my old VCR once. (That's how long ago it was -- a VCR! )

yes. today the WH should release a picture or two so people stop speculating about this big "conspiracy" - its the damn birth certificate all over again.

Another random thought... Today I paid the US Dept of Education all of the rest of the money I owed them for my student loan. I feel like a bonafide grownup now!

I believe it. Does anyone remember when Saddam's two sons were killed? And their nasty corpses were all over the TV? No thank you. I believe that Navy Seals know what they are doing and got the right person.

Its just almost too much to take in today

I dont know if "ghosts" is the right word. But I believe in something.

That wedding was awesome. Tea and krumpets (ok- they are Tastycake Krimpets) at work today. Glad its over, though...It was a ton of work for all us TeeVee people.

Plant vegetables (because that is already daone) I will also be doing all of those wonderful spring activities. I love them!

Happy birthday, fellow Taurus. (FYI our horoscope in the Post today says we are remarkably bullish at the moment! LOL!)

I usually sat near the front of the class, because my last name starts with C and most teachers did the alphabetical order thing. I liked to talk a lot in English class. Except Sophmore year during Julius Caeser - I liked to sleep through that class!! In college I always sat in the front and spoke up a lot, but only for the classes I actually went to.

I guess I'm the only wierdo here who loves tattoos! I have 4 (now) and each one has a story and signifiicance of its own. 1-a ying yang on my collarbone (left side) 1st one that got when i was 18, I guess its my 1st "adult" decision. Also its a symbol of balance close to my heart. 2- a small picture of the earth, on the outside of my left thigh - got it at kind of a turning point in my life - when I thought the world was my oyster. 3 - On my upper back a round flag (well, its a flag, kind of like someone scratched of my skin and a flag is showing through a roundish hole) and a little ribbon that says 9-11-01. I got it because I felt scarred for life, and wanted something on the outside showing that. 4- on the inside of my left ankle, a sort of tribal, colorful pic of an alligator. I got it in 2006 after the Gainseville show, to represent conquering my fear of flying and going to Florida. Its my bravery. I love tattoos and their stories and their symbolism, and I am not done yet. (Disclaimer - None of my tattoos show when I am dressed for work, and I have no plans of getting any that show all the time.)

Happy Birthday Patty! I hope to be seing you sometime soon at Philly show!
