the day's accomplishments

things i did today:

1.) bought a $2000 industrial sewing machine*
2.) learned to drive an E250 cargo van on I-95**
3.) almost broke my record for "most traffic laws violated in a five minute time span" while attempting to navigate through rosslyn***



it was a rather productive day.





* i can sew leather! and rubberized fabric! and ballistic nylon!
** this vehicle has no side windows. do you realize how hard it is to merge into traffic with no side windows??
*** i don't think anything can quite beat the brilliance of turning the wrong way down a one-way street, then driving down the sidewalk, then driving across the library lawn, then pulling an illegal u-turn through oncoming traffic.

quiz results

apparently if i was a disney villain, i would be lady tremaine.

interesting, since she frightened me as a small child. something about the disembodied voice rasping from behind the curtains in the dark and creepy bedroom freaked my out a little. and the demonic cat didn't help.

i feel like mr. heckles

Dear LovesHisStereoMan,

It is 12:30 am. I'm sure you have to go to work tomorrow. Even if you don't, I'm sure you have many important things to do. So turn off the music. Go to bed. And let the rest of us in Building 32 get some sleep.

Love,
Laura

further explanation

i guess i should point out that my grandfather didn't actually buy peanut. he just showed up in the yard one day a little while ago and never really left. it's still funny though. especially since now peanut has his own little bitty doghouse beside the back door, and follows my grandfather everywhere he goes in the yard.

never would have thought

apparently my grandfather has a new dog. my 82-year old, Marine sergeant, okinawa surviving, highway construction supervising, cattle raising, crop growing, bush-whacking, pith helmet wearing, cnn watching, very southern grandfather has a new dog. but not his normal type of dog. not a german shepherd or collie. oh, no.

a chihuahua.


named peanut.





hee.
