Odds and ends...mostly odds
Feel the love LJ Buds, as I have worked long and hard to be with you. On Sunday, Bill left for his training in Richmond, laptop along for the ride. This was annoying, since the laptop is the computer hooked up to our wireless network at the complex. Soooo, yesterday morning I went to the main office to have our desktop put on the network. I then went to Best Buy to get the USB adapter I would need to access the wireless network. Then I went to Walmart to buy the mouse Bill suggested to replace our wireless mouse for the desktop (it had died). Imagine my surprise to find that BOTH the mouse AND the adapter were made to fit in the USB 2.0 port. Okaaaaaaay. A trip to Best Buy to get a "normal" mouse that plugs into the back of the computer console. And finally, we have connection. So let's sum up: Wireless adapter -- $59.99, mouse from Walmart -- $17.99, replacement mouse -- $16.99, being able to talk to my LJ Buds -- pricey. No, seriously, glad to be up and running.
Ok, I just watched an add for canned dog food. The dog food was shown on a hexagonal china plate with baby carrots as a garnish. WHAT? Sorry, witch that I am, I gave my dog dry Kibbles and Bits (the store brand), and I served it to her in a plastic bowl. My cats also get dry food in plastic bowl. I can see me, with a load of miniature vegetables, coming up to the checkout person at Food City and hearing her say,"Oh, you must eat a very healthy diet!" To which I would be forced to reply,"No, no, no...these are garnishings for my pets' food! Do you have any more parsley? Thank you, and now I'm off to Nordstroms for china and crystal! Ah, the joys of pet care!" Uh, no.
I am Super PMS gal right now. I can kill you with my brain hormones. Clone me, send me to the Gaza Strip, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Northern Korea, and let's call it a day. Any other annoying countries will fall in line when they see my wrath en masse. Seriously, I am beyond foul-tempered at this point. Good thing Bill is in another state, as my wrath tends to be directed at him (when not a radical Islamists).
Today's "Chat Question" on a local radio station was: What would your personal hell be like? And so, LJ I want to know....what is your personal hell? Mine is a land of nothing to eat or drink but tomatoes and milk. I am always behind slow people while driving, and I am dodging stupid people riding bicycles in the road (heaven would be getting to run over them). Belinda Carlisle's annoying voice is everywhere...she IS the soundtrack to hell. And, I have forgotten how to play the piano. So, there it is. What's yours?
