Link not mindblowing for me, but is browser crashing.

Sara, no head to desk action please. As frustrating as the requests may be.

I have to clean my classroom. I am not thrilled at the prospect.

In happier news: happy birthday to JZ and happy anniversary to Sparky and husband.

I'm sorry for the brutal ER visit, but so incredibly happy that you're in dramatically less pain!

I love the web, you know? I think I've worked out ways to stay in it forever. But I mustn't.

Dude, I'm just waiting for my chance to punch deck.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SPARKY & DH!!

Also? I feel so much better right now.

That is awesome news.

Happy birthday JZ and happy anniversary Sparky!

I found the demo both amazing a wee bit creepy in that there-is-no-personal-privacy-anymore kind of way.

Less pain is good, as is SUMMER VACATION. Which reminds me, I should go waste the rest of my day cleaning. feh.

The interwebs are being incredibly slow right now, so I cannot appreciate the mind blowingosity.

My DH just called to say he (and a friend visiting from CA with her kids) just got turned away from the Washington Monument because the NPS was anticipating golf-ball sized hail.

This morning I had to convince my DH it was our 3rd, not our 2nd anniversary.

To make matters even more complicated, it's on a separate contract entirely, with really rigid accounting and I don't know if I'm even allowed to do work for them. But if left to their own devices, they might royally screw up my work.

And I just stuttered madly trying to ask a question because I got yanked so thoroughly from one line of thought to the other.

Thunder!

Yay for feeling better, ita!

So much for my going for a noon swim--I got over to the pool, and as I was about to head into the locker room, a woman stopped me and told me that they had closed both the indoor and outdoor pools because of the possibility of lightning storms. It was bright sunshine outside, and they had the damn pools closed! I unloaded on her a bit (and apologized afterwards), then headed over to get my mattress shopping done. Since the local place was willing to match the floor model price I had gotten from the Joliet store on Saturday and hold the mattress set until payday next Friday, I put the $20 down and committed to it. A queen-size Sealy Posteurpedic (no pillowtop, but with the extra cushioning on top) for $815 (after tax, free delivery)--not too bad! It's a $1400 set normally, and I don't think I'd be able to get it cheaper any time soon.

Then, after I finished at the mattress store, I headed over to the Barnes & Noble in the same strip mall, and filled out an application and had an interview for a part-time job. It sounds rather favorable--they're looking for four people for 15-20 hours a week, and they sound pretty willing to work around my availability. $7.25 to start, and the manager I interviewed with said that, with my bookselling/library experience, they might be able to bump that up a bit.

Yay, new bed! Kathy, you don't want a pillowtop, it gets super lumpy and you can't flip the matress over like you can a regular one. I know this from experience (glares at 5 year old mattress that is now super uncomfortable).

Also, you can't use your old sheets (my mom just gave me all her old standard queen-sized sheet sets because she has a pillowtop).

The salespeople are telling me that pretty much all the mattresses are no-flip nowadays, even the non-pillowtop ones. Is that right?

This morning I had to convince my DH it was our 3rd, not our 2nd anniversary.

awww did he say it was his time married to you was so pleasant it was flying by? Happy anniversary!
