fortune telling

I tried to put an embedded video on a response to one of Erica's posts. I was mentioning that I see a future for her and Beth as this duo:



Just like them, but without Maude.

all that funny

Faith, Beth and I are in the office. Faith begins to sing "All That Jazz" under her breath.

Faith: Come on babe, why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz.

She continues to sing. Beth joins in.

Faith: It's just a noisy hall, where's there's a nightly brawl. And...
Beth: ...all. That. Jaaaaaazzzzzzz.
me: Hacha!
Beth: Wookie!

i-scream, u-donate

Who wants to eat ice cream for a good cause? Put your hand down, Ian, you're already a given.

Cold Stone Creamery is having an Ice Cream Social for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Thursday, September 24, from 5-8pm you can get a free 3 oz "Make-a-Wish Creation" (sweet cream ice cream mixed with brownies, sprinkles and topped with caramel) with a donation to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. And if you don't know what Make-a-Wish is you don't deserve ice cream. So be sure to go to their site, www.wish.org.

my optometrist thinks i'm crazy

I'm starting to feel that I have a a bit of a rep when it comes to these. Ah, well. It's what makes me unique.

The subject line of a recently received e-mail: Nighttime Protection for Expecting Moms

What I read: Nighttime Protection from Expecting Moms

So, keep your little ones inside and don't lurk in dark alleys. I might be after you!

what's that in the air?

Can it be? I recognize the sun. I see more blue than white or gray in the sky. But that feeling on my skin. It's a little... chilly. My brain isn't making sense of it. Can it be that fall is here already? Huzzah! I noticed that BB wrote about it recently, but I can't believe my own skin's sensors. Unlike BB, I prefer spring to autumn, but I'll take temperate light jacket weather over extremes in heat and cold any day of the year. I just wish it could be like that all of the time. Like how Florida is hot all of the time, but 20 degrees cooler would be nice.

Speaking of temperature, I was going through some pictures this weekend and last and I noticed a few things about my upbringing that's a little different. Not bad. Just... different. 1. in all of my Christmas photos, everyone in my family is always wearing t-shirts and shorts. Even outdoors. 2. there are few pictures of my mom (as she's the main photographer/archiver in the family) and everyone else doesn't smile much. 3. ... unless we are giving the photographer the middle finger. 4. I hate that my family is so far away. I don't want them living next door or anything. Just a day's drive away would be nice.

Anyway, what are you doing reading my post? Go outside! Enjoy the lovely weather. I promise you, right now, I'm outside frolicking and not inside reading your blog.
