Mood: on fire
It's about a million degrees in my office right now. Okay, maybe not a million, but our little thermostat is off the scale, registering above 90. I thought I left Florida to get away from this.
Speaking of Florida, I had such a nice time! It was really hard to leave, especially after the adventures my sister and I had. They culminated on Sunday with a loooooong shopping trip to Sawgrass, which is like Arundel Mills on crack. It's supposed to be shaped like an alligator, but apparently it's one of those modern art up to interpretation alligators because I wasn't seeing it.
We got ice cream on our way out of the mall at this place called The Marble Slab, which is like Maggie Moo's if you've ever been there. You pick an ice cream and then you pick one or more "toppings" and they mix it all together on this cold marble slab (hence the name of the store). It was just before mall closing and my magna cum laude master's degree achieving sister couldn't quite figure out how to follow the directions. However, I must say our server left much to be desired and was not much help. After taking our orders and getting started on the mixing, our server decided she was done and just walked off. Liz and I looked at each other for a minute, confused, and I was seriously concerned my ice cream was going to melt before she got back. Fortunately, another girl stepped in and got us our orders. (Mine: swiss chocolate ice cream with a peanut butter cup; Liz: swiss chocolate ice cream with peanut M&Ms.) As we left, Liz imparted that I had to write about this in my blog. Hopefully she'll approve of this entry more than she did the last.
Back to the heat in my office (sorry if I'm a little scatterbrained. I suffered a head wound in the shower this morning - don't ask). The last time it was this hot in the school, I ended up praising the porcelain gods in the bathroom because I was suffering from heat exhaustion. Yeah, it's that hot. Let's hope that doesn't happen again.
For all those who care, only 17 shopping days until my birthday!!!
Ken (democrat groupie cynical chain smoker Ken) says I'll stop caring about my birthday when I get older. I don't think I will. And honestly, I hope I will always enjoy my birthday. What's not to love about gifts and cake and ice cream? And did I mention the cake and ice cream?
I'd like to give another shoutout to my buddies Sal and Gary at the sleep lab. I'll be up there Monday night for sleep study number 2 (read: sleep study where I have to wear the mask and use the machine as demonstrated by Paul Bunyan in the sleep apnea video). Can't say I'm looking forward to the mask or machine, but given how tired I've been lately, I'm willing to try just about anything. Well, anything legal.
I've finished most of the updates to my site. GH quotes and STFBE quotes are up. There's a new Kerry fact posted. I've updated Hour Follows Hour, my latest STFBE fic and my other STFBE fic - Magic Rainbow - is posted in all its glory. And don't forget to post comments to my blog! Ken (pornography I'm so lazy I need to hire a cleaning lady even though I live with two other guys Ken) has been the only one commenting so far aside from John (I also am too lazy so I hired a cleaning lady even though I live with two other guys John). Let's not let them take over my blog! :)
Au revoir!
