I had a pretty good day today. Every now and then I just get the urge and I take off driving somewhere. I didn't have much to do at work. I had planned to go to my dad's, but since I left the stuff I needed to take to him at home, I headed for Colorado Springs. It drives Marcus crazy when I do that. We used to live down there and I kind of miss it. It's so dang pretty there. I love looking off to the west and seeing Pike's Peak looming there. If I had a really good paying job, I wouldn't mind living there again. We were really, really, really poor the last time. I used to sell my plasma so we could eat every week. *shudder* I used to doorhang flyers on people's doors, too. I was amazed how familiar all those neighborhoods I used to walk were. It's been like seven or eight years since we lived there. I was also floored by how big the Springs has gotten. Oh, well. They got some snow last night. I like checking out craft stores, so I did that. A lot of the stores I used to frequent are totally gone now. I was kind of sad. I guess they can't compete with Hobby Lobby, Michaels and WalMart. :(

I cut Marcus' hair for him tonight. I also cut my knuckle. Owwww. I messed up the back a bit, but that's the risk he takes to save a few bucks. I'm all covered in tiny little hairs and I itch like crazy, but I can't take a shower until he cleans up the mess of hair in the bathroom. We also discovered (at a really bad time) that we are out of vacuum cleaner bags and the one in the vacuum is totally full. I wish the somebody who used the last bag would've mentioned it. Oh, well, I'll get some tomorrow.

I saw something really funny today. I was behind one of those trucks that pump out septic systems. I think the company was Colorado Pumping. Anyway, the saying painted on the back said "A Royal Flush beats a Full House." Hee Hee

It's palindrome time:

I've been waiting up just so I could do that! LOL I'm going to bed now since I've been up since 3 a.m.

OMG, these are too funny! So are these!

I haven't been watching the Olympics, but I was just channel-surfing and they're doing something called the Skeleton. Are these guys crazy? You'd have to be. These dudes go face first down a bobsled/luge type track on a tiny little sled. Eeeek! The only way to stop is drag your feet or hit the pile of snow at the end. That's nuts.

Why is it that no matter where I go, no matter what I'm dressed like, no matter who I am with, people think I'm an employee. It happened today at Hobby Lobby. A woman asked if I could get her some spray paint out of the locked cage. It's happened at WalMart, Home Depot, Office Depot, grocery stores, you name it. I can understand it when I'm in my work clothes and I'm at CompUsa or AutoZone (the uniforms are basically the same--red polo shirt and black pants). When I'm in normal clothes and in a place like WalMart where all the employees wear blue smocks, I don't get it.
