So in like a month and a half H and I are moving across the country, but we hit a roadblock because the date of our apartment got pushed back by a few weeks (it's new construction). He's been conversing with a couple out there for the past year and we've met them in person twice. They've offered to let us stay with them in interim, and the wife is mentoring him in getting a job (teaching). He just forwarded me another email from them and I'm just so overwhelmed by how welcoming and generous they are being.

I'm getting more and more pissed at the fake STL marathon winner. So I was going to go back in there and rant and drop some pictures of a marathoner I know and then I found this pic of her and it calmed me down b/c that is my kid she is teaching in the green shirt. She's awesome and - runs fast and is a great teacher. I really hope she kicks butt at the Olympic Trials... she'd be an awesome Olympian. So now I can stop getting pissed about the cheater b/c there are awesome athletes out there to inspire all of us.
The others day I saw a "Ladies Free on Thursdays" on the gun range sign
Oh man, I read that all wrong at first. I know it means Ladies shoot for free, but some how I had this image of shooting lady-shaped targets pop into my head first. I really have so little respect for most of this gun ish.
That piece is 10 feet tall?! Wow. I didn't see the original comments/info, but the author thinks the university endorses all pieces of art that are performed or made on campus?! Guess he never took an art class. But then again, I didn't know there was a website called "T.otal F-rat Move?" *
Plus I can't stop hearing your cereal-name pronunciation of "institution" in my head.
@smorriso - Woah, I should not have started reading the comments. They do not like "liberals, women, kids, guys who want their frat pussy, girls who can't get frat dick, etc." It's so not a leap to race, it's inevitable.
I am leaving this hellhole for the weekend. I told my boss I was going away this weekend so she wouldn't ask me to work. I give no fucks. I know she's working Sunday and again, I have no fucks to give (she already works Saturdays at another office). The lackey is coming in on Sunday to work with her. I GIVE NO FUCKS!!!!

My group went to Famous Dave's for lunch today. (It's a chain barbecue place.) I got a baked potato topped with brisket, bacon, cheese, and sour cream.
OMG. I was uncomfortably full when I left. It was glorious.

I was eating the jalapeño popper chicken I made for dinner and got about 1/2 way through it before I realized some of it was not cooked all the way. WTF. It registered the right temp, and it was done in the middle when I checked. Now I'm convinced I'm going to die.
I was possibly a bit stupid and rented a "power rake" to dethatch the lawn this weekend.
I got roughly 1/8 of the lawn done today. I spent a lot of time fiddling with the gas valve and the clutch trying to get the damn thing to work right.
I have to return it by 2pm tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm going to get everything done. AND I'm already sore.
Oh dude, no. Stop. You'll ruin the covering that helps keep the water in your lawn. All it needs is a very light raking.
No, seriously. I've been doing all the good organic lawn things for... shit. 8 years? The thatch is over an inch thick. It's killing off the grass and letting the weeds take over. And then in the winter voles and mice burrow into it and destroy what is left.
I have it set high and I'm only doing areas that absolutely need it. But that's about 1/2 an acre. I'm not manually raking half an acre.

Ah. Ok then.
:Y:
No worries. I live next door to at least one person who thatches every year. He makes me weep.
In the thatch I uncovered two golf balls and one arrow. The arrow's been there since well before we moved in. LOL
