Just like working in 1995!

I got the internet at work. Finally! I just stumbled across it accidentally. I don't think I'm meant to have it, actually. PCA did some work on their servers this week and now the internet magically appeared. I suspect it will disappear in a few days. Still, it's cool while it's here.

Sick

Andy brought a cold home about two weeks ago the way other kids bring home frogs and what to know if we can keep it.

On friday he wasn't feeling good enough to go for dinner but on Saturday he was okay to go to a movie. So by Sunday when he was all stuffy and coughing, I assumed he was being overly dramatic. I now regret secretly making fun of him behind his back. Yes, I'm a bad wife. I believe my sick husband was faking it.

Monday he stayed home from work, so that was my first hint he really was ill. This man never stays home. Ever. I made soup and he slept most of the day. Tuesday he was back at work but still coughing.

Wednesday I woke up with a sore throat. Thursday my ears hurt. Weird. Sinus pressure, I guess. By the end of the working day, I couldn't hear a damn thing my head and ears were so stuffy. Andy went out a brought back soup from my favorite resturaunt. Friday I stayed home. This is the day that Natalie also went home from work early with similar symptoms. Saturday my lungs ached and it was difficult to breath. Sunday I had to work but I spent the day coughing and looking pathetic. Monday wasn't much better but I actually started to feel like a human being again.

Andy's cold kicked my ass. I'm sorry for not believing him.

Strange Craving

This morning I woke up with a strange desire to possess this or this.

I can't explain it.

Andy's Theory of Time Travel

Walking out of the grocery store, armed with contra band candy for Snakes on a Plane, I noticed a disgarded toothbrush package. Joking, I said, "Someone really couldn't wait to brush their teeth." Three steps later, we spy the toothbrush, tossed to the ground.

Strange, I thought. The person must have decided they really didn't need a toothbrush that bad.

Andy reached a totaly different conclusion.

He said, "Someone came running out of the store, ripped open the package, and brushed their teeth while running, allowing them to jump forward in time."

"What?"

"Plague was invented to prevent us from time travelling."

"You're a crazy man."

"Well, you only brush your teeth while standing still. Try running and brushing and see what happens."

Snakes on a Blog

Saw Snakes on a Plane Saturday. It was cheesey and corny and fun. Here's a minute by minute account, so you can shout out "Snakes on a Pilot!" as you see fit.

Inspiration

I found site that has cool, classic Star Trek inspirational posters. Awesome. One of my favorites: Diplomacy: Words don't always solve problems. Sometimes you just have to punch and alien in the face. And Logic: Not as prevalent as you wish it were.

To complete the geek out: Five Minutes Star Trek Episodes and the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

Pod Creature

My latest creation...In case you can't tell, it's a cover for my MP3 player. It's a moneky. A monkey, I say! I know it doesn't look very monkey like but I totally made it without a pattern and I love the mismatched eyes.
