Phew!

Can we actually "know" the universe? ... it's hard enough finding your way around in Chinatown. ~Woody Allen, Getting Even, 1971

From Discovery.com:

World Not Ending in 2012, Says NASA

I feel better.

As an aside, in that article they talk about the upcoming movie, 2012, and how they're trying to make it realistic by setting up Facebook pages, etc. And then it says: "...the fictional fiction..."

Hmmm....

If a double negative is a positive, then is "fictional fiction" true?

===================

Not much to say .... it was a quiet day yesterday. DH puttered (of course, he was inside and my DH has no indoor hobbies except puttering). He painted our "new" door -- the one we replaced 18 mos ago), he painted trim, etc.

DD did her thing, school, reading, crafts.

Dd did her thing, eating, sleeping, pooping.

The cat did her thing, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating...

I did my thing, working on the website, cleaning, cooking.

A day in the life. So exciting!

Your Pet Should Be a Human For Halloween

Your pet tends to act just like a human. In fact, your pet probably thinks he or she is human! Your pet is content to stay inside, be close to you, and if possible, do whatever you're doing. It's likely your pet is an only pet and hasn't had much socialization with other animals. Or maybe your pet is just simply super intelligent and knows that the human way of life is best.

What Should Your Pet Be for Halloween?

Blogthings: Waste Time at Work!

That was for Dakota, who is NOT an only pet, and has had plenty of socialization. She loves to be outside, but the rest is pretty accurate.

Tired...

Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing "Embraceable You" in spats. ~Woody Allen

Okay... yesterday really did me in. I spent the late morning outside whacking down all my dead plants (bye bye clematis, see ya later hosta, au revoir ageratum...) and then planting my bulbs (I bought too many, and had to get creative with planting!). Then, immediately following lunch, DH announced we were going to start work on cutting up the trees our neighbor took down over the summer.

There are eight of them.

I decided I much prefer working with newly felled trees, because everytime I tried to pull on a branch, it broke. DD and I worked on clearing all of the branches so DH could see the logs. She and I are covered in bumps and scrapes from the stupid things. Then it was time to go around and pick up all the smallish logs DH cut and move them into a pile closer to where we could haul them out. The area where the trees were felled was uneven and damp so made for some interesting times. We only worked for about three hours, but I was pooped.

This morning I'm pretty certain there isn't a muscle on me that doesn't hurt. And we're nowhere near done. There's more to be cut and more to be moved and then we still have to haul it over to our house and stack it out back to season.

Anyone want to come help? We pay in pizza...

======================

I was going to start writing this blog earlier, but I got sidetracked by one of those links at the top of my gmail account. It was from Discovery and was about "Great Science Hoaxes". Then, once I finished reading that, I saw "Barking Dogs Explained" which wasn't anything new and then "Why Does Soda Taste Good?" and had to read it. Next, this caught my eye, "Hurricane History Recorded in Earth's Noise" ... And... why does Discovery have to be so dang interesting??

You Are Archive

You are competent, organized, and careful. You know how to stay on task and focus on the most important thing. You like to have everything in its place. Messes and chaos completely stress you out. You have a system for almost everything in your life, and you don't like to deviate from it. Calendars, routines, and having things in a certain order keeps you calm. You don't like to shake things up too much.

What Email Function Are You?

LOL... yep that's about right! *G*
