True Story

Heard on the Radio this morning, as they were discussing the Air France flight that has gone missing...

DJ 1 : You know, the Ocean can be over 15000 feet at places in the areas they're looking

DJ 2: That's like hundreds of miles!

Me: *sigh* /change radio station

Blah..

My fabulous idea of being able ot send in posts from lunchbreak at work has been foiled!  Stupid idea of putting a confidentiality clause on every e-mailt hat goes out :-P

Ain't commuting fun?

Yesterday, I saw a house get pulled over by a cop.  In the middle of the highway, on my way home.  Yes, a HOUSE.  Specifically, the front side I believe, although it’s hard to tell when it’s covered in plastic.

 

It was one of those modular homes.  The ones that are cut in half on the trailers with the “wide load” signs, an escort car behind them (which they obviously can’t see), and traffic backing up for 2 miles because people are afraid to pass a house on the road.  But, I had passed the back half without incident, and saw the front half about ¾ of a mile up ahead.  In the mean time, I had a cop car pass me in the left lane – no biggie, but an excuse for everyone to show that their brake lights work.  So, I’m driving along – watching people slow down for both the cop car AND the house, and I’m slowly catching up to the house.  All of the sudden, I see the cop car from the left lane, change into the middle lane and switch it’s blues on.  It then straddles the middle and right lanes, between the house and the miniscule escort car, until the house pulls over. 

 

So yes, I saw a house get pulled off to the side of the highway on the way home yesterday by I’m sure a very nice member of the State Police.

Quote of the Day...

Him: So, were you out shoveling while you were working yesterday?

Me:  No, I have a husband and a snowblower J

Actual conversation at work today...

Person X approached me with a menu to the local café today.  He pointed to the sandwiches, and asked if I knew what “Focaccia” was. 

Me:  It’s bread

Him:  Is it like a wrap?

Me: No, it’s regular bread (stumbling for the best way to describe it)
Him:  So it’s made with flour?

Me: …  yes, it’s made with flour.

 

 

Is there bread out there that ISN’T made with flour?  *sigh*

Christmas!!!!

Our Christmas day, in 3 pictures and 3 movies :-P

The Christmas Tree! With way too many presents under it!

Jeeves, Enjoying his Bully stick that he opened himself! Silly dog

And Jett getting his Bully stick!

This is quickly becoming the tradition of the Christmas night Pit session. Pit is a card trading game, based off the stock market. It's a nice, quiet, peaceful way to spend the evening. (hah!)

I taped one hand. People playing, starting in the lower left and going clockwise - Greg (Karen's brother), Charlie, Kevin (Karen's sister), Joy (Lindsey's mother), Mom, Lindsey (Greg's girlfriend), and Kim (Lindsey's aunt). Also appearing are Dad, Rosalie, and Papa's shoulder :-)

Strider, attempting to access the catnip inside. While he would have gotten to it, eventually. To save us from having to pick up shreads of paper through out the house, we opened it for him shortly after

The battle of the paper. Between Sam and Strider, for the privilege of being able to claim the paper as ones own.
