...looking at the pictures of the installation of the new pumas made me a little sad. Especially for the old pumas, who are going into storage somewhere, never to be climbed on again. Will the new pumas be as easy to clamber up onto, even in heels ( Read more... )

We move in a week.

Packing. God. ursulav did a post on packing today, actually, that's not too dissimilar to what we're experiencing, I suppose, except for us not having much to speak of on the walls (except a couple of smushed bugs and some other smeary things). The living room, never a paragon of tidiness to begin with, has a ton of boxes lining its ( Read more... )

Went to a day-long training session at the museum today. It's weird being "back at work", like the two months I was gone were a vacation or something, but I can't help but refer to my imminent return to docent-ing as "back at work".

As many times as I've heard "Eww, they're naked" about the dioramas before, I've never heard anyone actually take it upon themselves to count the "naked butts".

...been doing lots of pre-nanowrimo thinking and doing the usual work type stuff. Also, we attended the first obedience class yesterday sans Darwin, 'cause it was the introductory meeting. After that, we went to Circuit City so I could see if they had Makin' Magic (nope) and Borders so I could get the sequels to a really excellent novel called ( Read more... )

Let's see...not much new really in the Realm of the Josie. I worked yesterday morning in the store...it was pretty slow. While I was there, a woman and her grandson came in and poked around for a bit. They eventually (after picking up and relocating various items of merchandise) came up to the counter with two postcards and a rock candy. As the ( Read more... )

It occurred to me this morning as I was driving to work that I haven't updated in a while with actual content. I'm not really sure why that is; certainly I've done things and said things and witnessed things that I should or normally would be recording, but I just...haven't ( Read more... )
