I can't even begin to explain the joy and laughter this website brings me!

Getting Hairstyle Advise

Mom has asked me several times over the years about what type of hairstyle might look good on her. I never seem to have a good answer for her. Maybe everyone can help me out and provide some input. I tried some of these on for size, but they don't seem to be working.P.S. Mom doesn't know I've done this as of posting time, so I can only imagine what kind of trouble I'm going to get in to. Mom, Gotta love me! :-)

Just a Couple Things

What's up with these weird images on Google's website. I understand this is representing soccer at the Olympics, but what's with the horse and the snake?
I've got a great puzzle. I was eating some mixed nuts out of the can last night and was wondering how many of the halves would match up. Do you think anyone has ever tried to match up all the halves in a can of nuts?

I saw the movie Tropic Thunder after work last night and got quite a few laughs out of it. There were even some pretty cool cameo's by some big-named stars.

Have you played Ladder Golf?

I'm sure the answer to this question is yes for most people, BUT... have you played ladder golf in your place of work??? To help break up the slow work week, I brought my indoor-friendly ladder golf game. We played one round during our afternoon break, Designers vs. Coordinators. I'm sad to report that the Coordinators were defeated. Tomorrow... Game ON... bring it, Designers!!!
Above from left to right is Meaghan "straight off the boat from Ireland" Pratt and Jenny "lightning" Akins. Meaghan scored a point with her blue toss, but it wasn't enough to put us in the lead over Jess and Jenny.

All you can eat...

Go Figure

I was totally ready to share a photo of my hideous case of Poison Something. I got the photo loaded on the computer, but blogger won't let me upload anything right now. :-(

I hope to try again in the morning, so you can all be happy that you don't feel as itchy as I may look. Then you can make an educated guess as to when you think it will go away.

Quite the week.

Had a few things happen this week that were pretty interesting, besides turning 28. Wednesday I did some crazy weed pulling in the backyard to fill up my landscape waste can for Thursday pickup. The rest of my yard work got put on hold because my body so kindly told me I had a touch of the flu.

I briefly went into work on Thursday for a meeting and then headed home to try various ways to settle the ole stomach. In between napping, I watched a bit of the Cubs game and a few episodes of Kathy Griffin's Life on the D-list. That's a pretty darn funny show.

Friday went by slowly, but I did get the birthday gift I bought for myself. I mustered up enough energy that night to set it up in the basement and take a couple swings. I tried it out more today, and it's awesome!

Last night Mom and I went to see A Chorus Line at Corn Stalk Theater. Yet another wonderful production they put on. Besides the good dancing, it was fun to see something I knew nothing about. It was a unique plot line and it definitely kept my interest.

This morning I lost power about 4am, waking up to the battery backup on my computer beeping. After a bit more sleep, I woke up around 7am as usual and was surprised to see I'd actually received my paper on time for the first time in 3 weeks. Then I started to get lost in the paper and a couple shows on TV. My blinking clocks didn't help the situation either and before I knew it, 11:00.

As I was getting ready, I noticed this lovely rash across my jawline and neck. It's quite the lovely shade of pinky-red. I'm crossing my fingers that I've done everything to help it stop spreading. The itchiness is starting to get to me after one day. Darn that yard work! Maybe I'll have to wear a hazmat suit the next time I'm out in the yard.
