- I went camping this weekend. I now have 46 bug bites (at my last count, I may have missed a few). I was dinner for the entire park's population of bugs. Including the numerous crickets that kept jumping on my head (yes, I was wearing bug spray, I swear). Luckily, the beer was plentiful and the company was lovely, so I still had a fantastic time. I also discovered a previously unknown skill I have. I can't cook bacon without burning it on a normal stove. But, I can apparently cook it on a bunsen burner type camp stove (I also make some mad good french toast). Good to know
- There is a contractor at work that is constantly wearing an Utley jersey. He wears it so often, that when I see actual pictures of Utley (or see him on TV), I think to myself, that's not Chase Utley. Then I remember that I'm apparently a moron. Just because someone WEARS a Chase Utley shirt, it doesn't actually MAKE them Chase Utley. The fact I even have to remind myself of this makes me realize why people think I'm an airhead.
- After a few days in a row of rain, my mom would throw us outside in our raincoats and tell us to play outside (she wouldn't do this in the middle of a storm or anything, so don't think my mom was endangering us in anyway). Apparently, we were a bit...high strung after being cooped up indoors for a few days in a row. I find that I am STILL this way. I didn't run much last week because of weather and work and then I was at the beach/camping this weekend so didn't run then either. I only ran once for 3 miles last week. That is apparently not enough for me. I have been so squirrelly lately (I left work too late last night to run again). Today, I HAD to run. I even bailed on dinner with some friends because I REALLY had to go running. I feel a little less stabby, and a lot more rational (seriously, sometimes I cringe at how irrational I can get). So that's a plus.
- So how about that earthquake? At first we all thought that something out on the production floor had exploded or something (we were trying to repair a robot and I thought maybe something had gone horribly wrong). And then, I realized it's an earthquake. I wasn't scared or anything, just a little disconcerted. However, I'm quite glad I wasn't in Virginia this week. That would have been a little more disconcerting I'm sure. Unfortunately, I have to go to VA for the day again on Tuesday. That's a lot of driving for one day. Sigh.
- However, then on Friday, I'm going to CHICAGO!!!! I CANNOT WAIT. Seriously. CANNOT WAIT. EEK!
- I've been trying to find a used copy of Knit. Sock. Love. for what seems like forever. I am cheap. I don't want to pay $27 for a knitting book. However, the used copies are MORE than the new copies? Um, $145 for a USED copy of a $27 book? Is it gold plated??? WTF?
*Beyonce (As annoying as I find Beyonce, I have a kind of girl crush on her and Rihanna. Go figure).
