Stupid things I have done in the past week

1. Poured salt in my purse.

2. Woke up 1/2 hour before hockey game on Sunday.

3. Failed to fold laundry, resulting in wrinkles.

4. Rubbed an unknown substance into my eye this morning, causing a need for 30 minutes of rinsing it out and burning for most of the day. I have had to pull my contact out and clean it out about 3 times now.

5. Just burned my hand & thumb by moving my cup out from under the hot water spigot on the coffee maker while fixing hot chocolate. Ouch!


I NEED VACATION!!!!

(no subject)

The lion is apparently still prowling around Northeast Columbus. Or maybe it's a coyote. They haven't decided, but they think it weighs about 300 pounds. A 300 pound coyote? I don't think so.

One of the news anchors who was "on the scene" kept calling it a "lioness." Only he pronouced that as "lion S." He then actually uttered the following: "If you see a lion S, or any other exotic wild beast, call 911 immediately."

This city is beginning to sound like an SNL skit.

Got the nostril screw tightened tonight. It hurt! He really got it in there tight, and it felt like it was pinching my nose, but I kept wiggling my nose in the car, and it loosened up again quite a bit. So I might be needing weekly adjustments to keep this thing in my head. The count of people at work who've actually mentioned it is now officially at 2. This one was one of the guys on my project team, who said, "Okay, I have to ask--does that hurt?" Dude--what's up with the present tense? What kind of masochist walks around with something in her nose that hurts constantly? Sometimes I wonder what they think of me.

In other news, I went to Easton tonight to get a new hockey stick and to have my new glasses adjusted. I ended up trading them in and ordering a new pair because I felt the lenses were too far apart from each other, plus the polished rimless edge caused a bad glare problem due to the thickness of the lens. So I have new, improved green and blue plastic frames on the way.

Then I went to DSW. BAD IDEA!!!! I'm now quite a bit poorer, but I have a lovely orange purse, the pair of olive green suede Marc Jacobs shoes I got outbid on eBay for a few months back, and yet another variation on the black mary-jane theme.

The shoes! The purses! It's a sickness, I tell you.

At least I earned enough in one purchase to achieve the free gift in their frequent buyer club. In fact, I'm well on my way to a second. Yikes!

Almost forgot....weird sky sight

When I was driving home from work this evening, there was a plane with a banner trailing it flying overhead. This in itself is not unusual, as the "3C Body Shop" banner is often flying over various Columbus festivals in the summer. But not on a Tuesday evening.

Nope, this was something entirely different. It was far too high for me to read clearly, but I think it read "10 (or 18?) Week ABORTION" then listed a phone number. There was a box on the side that may have been a fetus picture, but I'm not entirely sure--it could just have easily been a logo of some sort.

It bothered me mostly because I couldn't figure out if it was a clinic advertisement (which would be very very odd) or an anti-abortion message. Either way, the phone number was never going to be visible from the altitude at which the plane was flying, nor could the photo be made out.

Very weird. Any other Columbusites see this?
