Pointless Announcements

It's not white cheddar, but we just bought a bag of buttered popcorn that's at least three feet tall. Jeez!

 

I'm gonna take a bath and try to get to bed early.

 

oh emm gee! I can have wine in two days!

 

Payday today !

 

Oh boy it's going to be a crazy morning...

 

Good on ya for you donating. My daughter had to have donated milk after she was born premature and my (now) ex-wife couldn't breast feed. This was ironic, in my head, because she had size F boobs at the time...

Bless the over producers, I say.

 

It's it wrong that I'm still curled up in this hard hotel bed because I'm hesitant and annoyed about having to wonder if there is any water in the hotel? Housekeeping set the temp on the a/c unit at 61* yesterday and i was able to grab a hot shower right after I got back because I was really cold already. I curled up in the bed for two hours and couldn't get warm enough to sleep, to I got up to take another and found no running water. Apparently they were working on the water mains in Sulphur last night. The cute 19 year old dorky desk clerk was nice enough to bring me an extra blanket as it was freezing in this here room. I finally got warm and passed out, but I need to shower and get going to find a few areas that are safe to live in come fall, but I'm worried there's no water and I don't want to start my day aggravated... Decisions. #secondworldsouthernproblems

 

Today is officially mid-May. The scholarship committee could tell me if I get money anytime now. Please. Tell me. Please.

 

I can't tell you how amusing it is to me that you are in Sulphur/Lake Charles. This might go on for a while.

 

Command+F is my new favorite shortcut in Illustrator.

Bless you, Command+F, bless you.

 

Well it won't go on for too long for now... I'm heading home tomorrow.
I'll be back in September. Looking for housing is depressing.
Especially considering the stipend of a doctoral level psychology intern.
But, hey, there are two... count them now... TWO Starbucks in the "greater" Lake Charles area.
I did have running water, and it was hot. But now I must go hit the Starbucks for my green tea and go explore more.
I might cry again. I've been doing a lot of that the past few days...
Especially when I went to the sheriff's department to get fingerprinted and the whole area smelled like horse shit.
From the horses next door. *sigh*
I'm moving to the country... and there aren't ANY peaches.

 

Yes, pretty much every place has some sort of unfavorable odor in SW Louisiana.

 

You're within a 30 minute drive of my daughter and her husbands house. That odor you're smelling could very well be my daughters father-in-law. It gets worse when his mouth is open which is pretty much all the time.

 

Here is my tentative final design for for the first TFP t-shirt. Posting a smaller picture on here for comments good, bad, or otherwise. I can change anything at this point, and it will take me just a few minutes to upload this properly and make it available.
I used a screencap to get the correct colour for the larger letters.

 

When I first move to Tillamook County Oregon I rented a really old farm house in the "town" of Beaver. There was a dairy pasture next door, literally right out my bedroom window. I lived there 2 1/2 years while saving to buy a home. Beaver's a place so small there is no mail delivery service you have to go to the general store/post office and pick-up your mail from a wall of PO Boxes. I ended up buying an unfinished house on a hill over looking Tillamook Bay in Bay City. The day I went to turn in my PO Box key the nice postal clerk asked if I was moving (Nope, just woke up this morning and thought it would be fun never receive mail again.) I told her "Yes, I bought a house in Bay City and the deal closed last night." She looked at me and asked "Oh, so you're going to be living near the bay?" (No, I bought in the Bay City neighborhood that's 40-50 miles away from the bay) "Um, yes in fact we have a very nice view of the bay we're really looking forward to it." She said "Oh I really think you're gong to wish you weren't so close to the bay." "Why?" "The bay smells really bad if the tide gets too low." "And you think it'll smell worse the dairy farms around here?" "Oh, you get used to the smell of a dairy but that bay smell is just awful." She was wrong after two years of being next to a dairy pasture, where they literally spray a mixture of manure and water up to twice a month often applying a free coat to the side of my house, I never got used to the smell of the dairy farms. To me the bay always smelled like the sea and was rather pleasant. Even on a low tide it beat the dairy air by a long shot. To my knowledge that was and is the unofficial slogan for Tillamook Oregon- "Welcome to Tillamook, come smell our derrière."

 

VACATION! Who gets excited about a vacation to Ohio??? THIS LADY! I missed my friends and family and the grotesquely fattening midwestern food!
