the occasional rambles of mrs s

1.   Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for introducing me to fourfour.   I laughed until i hurt.

2.  Since bebe entered my world I have only read about 100 pages.  I miss books that aren't made of cardboard.  

3.  Speaking of books ... I am so happy to be back to work yet every day I feel a little guilty about leaving the little one ... even though I know she's in the best hands possible.

4.  Go.  Find this book http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780307383075&itm=9  and laugh until you hurt.  Then sit down to a big pork dinner.

 I"ve been lurking so long that making an actual post seems like a gigantic challenge. 

Weird.

Just say something chickie.

Dear KUOW,

If I could locate the 8 pack of AA batteries lost somewhere in the house I could power the digital camera.

If I could power the digital camera I could take pictures of the amazing squirrel acrobatics being performed on the bird feeder.

If I could take pictures of amazing squirrel acrobatics I could post them here.

If I could post them here you would laugh.

So it's the batteries' fault you're not laughing right now.

I climbed over a mountain this weekend.


It hurt.

restlessness on the day before vacation = moving around all the living room furniture.

looking forward to kitty reactions ... lazy bums are all asleep somewhere.

did some weeding. deep watering a must after the sun passes.

sat and watched a bunch of red-breasted nuthatches and their young peck at suet blocks fresh from the freezer. they flew back and forth across the backyard between the two feeders ... after a flavor variety?

looked at ceramic planters on target.com. the same ones that were in store a few months ago selling for 19.00 each are now sold 15.00 for a pair ... add in shipping and it's still a better deal.

waiting for tomorrow....

the penguin movie is cool.

that is all.

Coffee Man

so the comet is actually more "loaf-of-bread" shaped than "pickle-shaped".
