I've got all these quotes written down everywhere for craft projects, etc. I'm archiving them in this post for future use so that I can throw the papers away.

Well, the bed won but I couldn't stay there long. Inconsiderate neighbors blaring Mexican polka music forced me to retreat from my bedroom. Jerks.

I also had one of those moments where I hear somebody yell my name sharply, but nobody is here. *shiver* I hate that. Does that happen to anybody else, or just to me? It would be fine if it was a warning to keep me from walking into traffic or something, but no. Just out of the blue. For no reason. Grrr.

I got all the bulbs painted for my sunflower garland. I practiced casting on kntting. Between the "I Taught Myself Knitting" kit Marcus' mom got me for Christmas and the videos on KnittingHelp.com, I may get the hang of this yet! I may go read the Knitting for Dummies book at some point, too. I think I'll tackle painting my shelf after I have lunch.

So, I'm all alone today. Normally, I'd be ok with that. It's making me feel blue today, though.

Marcus is out with a pack of guys from his old place of employment. A former co-worker of theirs is in town for the weekend and they are going to go stomp around up in the mountains. It's drizzly today, so he ought to enjoy that. Marcus loves the rain! Marcus invited me to tag along, but I didn't want to hinder their "guy bonding" (none of the other guys are bringing their SOs).

My poor old dog fell in the kitchen last night and couldn't get up. I found him this morning spread-eagle by the refrigerator in a puddle of his own urine. He must've been really scared. I wished he would've barked or whined or something to get my attention. He's worn out from trying to get up. I'll have to try and give him a bath later when he recovers. Poor guy. I'm not sure how much longer he's going to be with us.

I want to try all of these cool things I'm finding for Expression Engine, but I can't until I can afford to upgrade mine. yay. Oh, well...I need to make a new layout, anyway.

I am all crampy and bloated today. Part of me feels like crawling into bed and staying there all day. The other part of me won't let me because my to-do list is huge! I'm thinking the bed side is going to win here shortly.

I posted this over at Luka's as part of Free-For-All Friday, but I had to repost here.

The best commercial running on tv right now? The Citibank Identity Theft one featuring Thelma and Norma. Something about two older Southern gals having tea making motorcycle noises makes me snort the beverage of consumption out my nose! “Them bikes be like Waaaaaaaah.” “No, Brrrrrrrrrrrr.” “No, Waaaaaaaaah.” Priceless!
