In a world....where picnics start at 10:30 AM
Just a quick thing. (This came about from reading Tavie's story
about her mom outbidding her for something on eBay) My mom's eBay handle was
macmom50. Even
after all these years, that still makes me happy. Enjoy the screenshot of Panther
running on Swoop. I helped her make up the name. I don't know that she was quite
50 yet when we set up the account, so it was likely a reference to her birth year
rather than her age. I still remember her computer passwords too. All of a sudden
I don't remember her yahoo and that is making me panicky. Someone...anyone?

I'm a real weird girl....and I vote
Today is July 22. It has been a nice weekend, weather-wise. Sleeping with the
windows open is my favorite. I wish I could do it year-round but obviously some
nights it is just way too hot.
On Friday I went to hear Bill
Richardson speak int he cafeteria of a nearby elementary school. He had some
good points but unfortunately I was towards the back and he wouldn't hold his
goshdarn microphone up to his mouth (thereby negating the amplifying properties of
bspeaking through said microphone). When it was time for q-and-a, a man near me
stood up to ask a question, so I, with the encouragement of others around me, went
and asked him to mention the whole "hold the mic up to your mouth please" thing when
the candidate called on him. "I'm part of the political process!" I
said to myself cheerfully as I sat back down. The plan would have
been perfect except that "our guy" (as I started referring to him) didn't get called
on to ask a question. Eventually we got bored with sitting there, not hearing the
Q's and only about half of the A's, so we took off.
On Sundays I always have ideas of eating breakfast and reading the paper but I never
do. I just read things on the internet like always. Although I did do some
laundry, so I'm feeling good about that. I should probably go hang up the drip-dry
items pretty soon here. One nice thing about drip-drying your clothes is that it
makes your house smell nice. This is best experienced by hanging up your clothes,
then leaving the apt. for a while, and then returning. Your house will smell like
the Mountain
Spring freshness of Tide.

Congestion (the evil inside my head)
Today is July 18. Been really congested for the past few days. I went to my dr.
and she wrote me a script for an allergy nasal spray. We'll see how that goes.
Actually today I was feeling much better already.
I'm watching one of those "to catch a predator" things on Dateline. So I thought it
was only fitting to link to the
snl myspace skit. Seth, Bill, et al, look awesomely skeezy. Although the
fellows Dateline has busted have all looked fairly "normal" so far; I mean, I
wouldn't think they'd have trouble getting girls their own age.
Honestly I have been rather busy of late, and this site has suffered for it. This
weekend I hope I get some time to
relax! Last weekend was fun; I went to Summerfest at Ankeny and saw Standing Hampton play a couple sets. I
had never been up to Summerfest; apparently it's a pretty big deal.

Happy Birfday America, and more
Today is July 10. Last week, I went to Slater for Independence Day fun. There was
a guy with trained ducks marching in the parade. They were so cool! Right in front
of us, they veered off the parade route and into the shade. Some of them tried to
peck at me but it didn't hurt or anything.
At work I am making a sweet program with drop-down lists and buttons and SQL
statements. It's something to be proud of. Also I am taking a fitness class there
now on Mondays and Wednesdays.
