this is how i feel today...

...enough said

one half base times height

and to think that teenagers think that high-school geometry is a waste of time! ha! my proudest achievement this weekend was calculating to the nearest half roll of sod for our little patch of grass in the backyard. i blame that half roll on the fact that every roll is probably not exactly the same size, and that I probably could've done a better job of making the pieces exactly flush against eachother... but, regardless... can you get better than that? it's so nice to see a real, green patch of grass in the backyeard, better known as the Przeworski desert. I literally had tumbleweeds blowing around there last summer. that and i'm almost done with my ME book... ahhhhh.... life....

the bane to my existance...

is this thing I will call COW. Now, the planning of COW started a long time ago. You would think that with all the planning that went into COW, things should be as smooth as silk. Right, that's if I were planning COW. Instead, we had a bunch of drunk monkeys planning COW. In order to execute cow, I now have to make sense of the sandscript left of the remains of the planning of COW. Because of all the attention COW demands, I had to ask for help on non-COW things and as a result I have been pegged as non-COW loser that needs help managing her non-COW. Fuck the COW and all things related.

have you seen it?

OMG!!! I love "Notes from the Underbelly"... it is freaking hilarious and hits so close to home....

it's on Wednesday nights... check it out!

A: Uh, because it's GRAND!

Q: Why do they call this canyon the Grand Canyon?

Wow... no pictures that I post can ever do this place justice, but I will post anyway. You can literally spend hours just staring at the awesome colors as they change throughout the day. Granted, we only got to spend an hour and a half there, but I got the jist of it. Then it was 7 hours back to my parents house. Sheesh... overall it WAS worth it!

fortune. good fortune.

ok... I have this *thing* where I can't throw away a fortune (you know, the kind you get in a fortune cookie). i almost feel like it is bad luck or something. i'm a freak. so now i have all of these fortunes that i have collected along the way. what to do with them? oi! I am sticking some of 'em into my "wreck this journal" project. cool project... check it out wreck this journal.

well...now that you mention it... there are some other things I just can't bear to throw away... and not just b/c of environmental concerns, although that is a perfectly good reason too.
they are, in no particular order:
-a cool box. sometimes uncool ones too... but to throw away a perfectly good box?
-a jar. cool ones especially (i've got my eye on the french jelly one in the fridge right now... have already warned Tony not to toss).
-tins. oh GAWD! the marketing industry is killing me b/c A LOT of things come in tins now. Candy mostly... I'll buy the damn candy just to get the cool tin. Whate ever happened to band-aid tins? Band-aid is missing the mark here!
-a fortune. already noted.
-free samples. they will sit around, unused, until I get so sick of looking at them. it kills me to toss them. but HEY, they were FREE!
-any sort of notepad/journal/notebook/tablet
