Thanks y'all!

A quote from Leif just a bit earlier today.

"And when I get my medical degree, my idea will make me the most famous person in the history of the Earth."

Someday some woman will probably have to deal with that ego.

70 - 12 inch square concrete pavers - GONE from my backyard. YAY!

And while the guy was loading them, I moved a pile of bricks out of my garage and assembled on of my shelving units for out there. That allowed me to finish unpacking another box in the garage. Now I am a sweaty mess, and trying to cool off before the lady gets here to look at the bed.

Yay for craigslist. I am constantly trolling craigslit for my kayak, despite the fact that I won't be able to actually buy it for a couple more weeks after I get my rack and save back the money I'm spending on nail polish.

Nail polish. I have nail polish color issues. The issue is that I am buying a collection that is almost completely the wrong season colors for me, but I can't help it because I have mostly clothing that is the wrong color for me. It's the lifestyle thing, a little. Most technical, outdoorsy clothing is in autumn outdoorsy colors. So I have lots of khaki and browns and greens. But I should be wearing primary colors! And black, which, okay, probably a good 70 percent of my wardrobe is black, so I can wear whatever polish I want with that, most likely.

Back when I was doing the "add color to my wardrobe" thing, I intended to add red, but it never really happened. I think I want to go back to that and add red and maybe primary blue. Those colors look good on me and would work with plain blacks and whites.

I'm glad your dad is okay, aurelia.

Slept in late here to try to give my hands a rest and recovery. Of course, I'd need to sleep for a week to do any good.

Hey y'all. Finally have internet access (thanks, Starbucks). I have skipped and skimmed. What have I missed over the last few days?

It has been a great trip so far. Good drive, wonderful visits with family and friends, and I finally got to help my girl move into her dorm room. First time in her college career. All that is next on the calendar is dinner with dad, work in my old office Monday and then dinner with a friend. More work on Tuesday before hopping my 1pm flight back home.

When we were kids, my brother and I used to talk about how when we were grown up we were each going to be millionaires and/or President.

So far that hasn't happened yet. Somewhat unrelatedly, we would often make bets where the loser had to pay the winner "all the money in the world", or worse yet, "all the money in the world plus one dollar."

Liese and I have the same colors to choose from. But I wear primarily red and white and black and grey so I'm okay with whatever.

We're off to go to a party. yay!

Lady was a no show for the bed. Hate that. I have emailed the next on the list.

Darnit. I did NOT, in fact, win the lottery last night. Stupid West Virginia. Why do the winners always come from West Virginia?? What's up with that??!?! I think it's a conspiracy!
