adventures in worky-sleeping

There is some major snow happening!  And to be safe from the super-snow, I decided to sleep at work.  Luckily, they have a nice hard table perfect for sleeping.

It sounds like I made a good decision.  There was some ucky driving this morning.  And I was SO early for work!  That'll impress the bosses! 

Have you ever been snowed in somewhere?  Or maybe stayed somewhere else because of snow? 

It's really not that bad.  I bought some orange juice.  That always makes me feel good in the morning. 

I also brought some extra food.  You ALWAYS bring extra food for sleepovers! 

You never know what's going to happen!  An extra tin of dried fruit and nuts can go a LONG way!

Since I was the only one at the sleepover, it went a really long way.  That was good.

Since I was the only one at the sleepover, nobody did my hair and nails.  That was bad. 

Maybe next time.

I'm off to fluff up the table.

Enjoy Everything.

textile fibers of unknown kind

That's what my chair pillow says.  I think it's a chair pillow.  It also says that it is a "Vintage Borst."  It's one of those pillows that you can put on a bed and it has a soft back and two arm rests. 

Whatever it's called, I don't know what's IN the pillow.  It says "Filling: Textile fibers of unknown kind." 

Really?!  You don't know what's in my pillow!  What if they are fibers from a radioactive alien plant?!  They should put that on the label!  I'm allergic to radioactive alien plants! 

Luckily, by law, they have to tell me that they filled it with stuff.  They don't HAVE to specify the stuff.  They just have to tell me that they put stuff in the pillow.  Any stuff that they could find on the floor.  Or in the walls.  Insulation, maybe.  Who knows! 

I'd rather have it filled with candy.  Soft candy.

Even "candy of unknown kind" would be okay.  I'm flexible.

I'm off to textile fibers.

Enjoy Everything.

ninja bird vs. pirate panda

Okay, so I don't actually have any pirate pandas.  Nor do I have any ninja birds.  BUT!  That's only because they are extinct!  The birds, I mean. 

Scientists have found the bones for an extinct bird in Jamaica that would whip its wings around like nunchaku. 

So making a giant leap to a dramatic conclusion, these ninja birds fought evil pirate pandas to protect Jamaica from invasion.  Since pirate pandas like invading things. 

If you were planning a trip to Jamaica 10,000 years ago, you might want to have thought again.  In the first place, time travel is still a little shaky.  Secondly, you don't want to get attacked by ninja birds.

Ninja birds also protect the space-time continuum from time travelers like you. 

And you might look like a panda.  If you're like me, you will always wear your panda suit when you travel.  Especially for time travel. 

Other animals are extinct, too.  Like dinosaurs.  They didn't need to learn the ancient art of ninjutsu.  They were pretty huge, so really, they could just step on you. 

If a Stegosaurus DID learn martial arts, it could probably mess you up! 

Here's today's lesson: Don't travel back in time.  Ninja animals might attack you.  It's not worth it.  Unless expedia has a REALLY cheap price.  Then it might be cool. 

I'm off to nunchaku.

Enjoy Everything.

so comfortable, you can wear them anywhere

Jeggings have become very popular these days.  I'm not sure why, but they have. 

If you don't know, jeggings are leggings that look like tight jeans.  They have a denim color and jeany look. 

But if you think jeggings are TOO leggingly for you, why not try Pajama Jeans!

That's right!  They LOOK like jeans, but FEEL like soft pajamas!  You will wear them around the house.  When you're traveling.  For a night out on the town.  And STILL want to wear them to bed! 

It's true!  And I want a pair.  Who wouldn't want to wear pajama pants all day?  Especially ones that will make my behind look fabulous! 

Oh, and even better, it comes with a FREE t-shirt.  Perfect for that "jeans and t-shirt" look. 

If you don't like this idea, go buy a Big Top Cupcake instead. 

OH!  I totally forgot to tell you!  I saw a shooting star the other day!  It was so cool!  It was all like, "Pshhhhh!  Fwoosh!"

I made a wish that I could find a pair of jeans that felt like pajamas.

My wish came true.  No need to thank me.

I'm off to put on pajama jeans.

Enjoy Everything.

sorry green, it's time for some space

Do you have a favorite color?  I think a lot of people do.  What's your favorite?  Is it one of the primary colors?  Maybe a secondary color?  Perhaps a quintary color?

Whatever it is, is it the same as it was ten years ago? 

I've been a hardcore fan of green for most of my life.  ALWAYS loved it.  But I think I'm falling in love with purple.

I have NO idea how this happened, but it's been calling to me. 

Every time I see some purple clothes, I kinda want them.  But I know that I only look good ("look good" is a little strong, "don't look horrible" might be better) in one color: black.  So, I don't buy the purple, but I still WANT the purple.

Green is still nice, but purple is really stepping up its game. 

I didn't know you could change your favorite color.  I thought I was going to stick with green my whole life.  We had a lot of good times together.

If I can find a green and purple suit, maybe that will make both of my colors happy.

I will also look like The Joker. 

So, that's a plus. 

I'm off to color it purple.

Enjoy Everything.

welcome to the tri-state area of big ugly

During my time away from work, I did a lot of things.  One of those lot was trying to find the town of Danville in a tri-state area. 

If you watch "Phineas and Ferb" on Disney, then you know what I'm talking about (and get my jokes).  They live in Danville.  I was curious where it might be.

I found out.  Sort of.  There are a bunch of Danvilles in the U.S., but none of them are close to a tri-state location.  A few are kinda bi-statey.  One is even bi-country!  Thank you, Washington! 

I also found out that Danville, WV isn't far from the Big Ugly Hunting Area! 

I thought that was quite insulting for a hunting area, but it only got that name from the Big Ugly Creek.  An early settler, possibly insecure, saw the creek many years ago and thought it was less than pretty.  So, they called it a Big Ugly Creek.  And that name stuck with it. 

So now you can go to the Big Ugly Wildlife Management Area.  Enjoy some Big Ugly scenery.  Then top it off with a Big Ugly dinner! 

That is, if you want to have a full-on Big Ugly vacation.  And who doesn't!? 

That is what I do with my free time.  Aren't you jealous.

I'm off to...hey, where's Perry?

Enjoy Everything.

shop 'til the ball drops

Would you like to shop at a store and not have to worry about other shoppers?  At all? 

Then you should go shopping on New Year's Eve! 

I did!  I know, you were probably at some party or doing some sort of celebration.  But, while you were whooping it up, I was out buying underwear on clearance! 

And YOU missed out on those deals!  Because you were too busy having fun! 

Let ME tell you about fun.  Being able to shop with NOBODY around.  Stores are open on New Year's Eve.  And they are fabulous. 

I wish I could do all my shopping for the year on the previous year's eve because it would be so easy.  And the poor kids who have to work that night would just LOVE to ring up a billion dollars worth of toilet paper. 

I did not do that.  I wasn't ready for it.  But the last day of this year?  You WILL see me shopping EVERYWHERE.  I will fill up a bunch of carts with everything I need.  Rent a moving van.  Fill it up.  Then go home and resolute to not shop for another year! 

I will also resolute to plant a sunflower.  But that's because they are pretty. 

I'm off to work on my yearly shopping list.

Enjoy Everything.
