Winter...BLEK!

Winnifred — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 14:38:43 GMT

Well as you can see I'm rarely on here. Shame on me. Last blog post was about spring! Now it's winter. Today was supposed to be a day for Magnus and I to just hang out and go do something fun. On my morning jaunt for QT coffee. (uh, yeah)...first I had to scrape the ice off my windshield and then it took a while to get my ice wheels under me while driving. Luckily it's Saturday morning and there weren't many cars on the road. :-D Well...looks like we'll be cleaning and putting up Christmas decorations instead. WOOHOO! Happy Christmas everyone!

Woohoo! Spring!

Spring, where are you? What's this snow stuff anyway. Got a call last night...the weather in Grimmfells this weekend is going to be stormy w/a possible tornado watch Friday night...and a prediction of snow on Saturday! DUDE!!!! What the...! I want to smell the earth again. Plant my garden. Mow my grass...(yes I'm crazy). I want to open the windows in my house! Grumble.

Amazing movie! Chick Flick. Good actors and actresses. Meaningful. My new favorite and I highly recommend the rental. I'm buying it. W~

Abomination?

Yes, I know my bio says "opinions rarely offered" but a friend of mine sent this to me and it's something I feel strongly about. While I know the program it comes from is fictional, the message is not. I cannot stand people that use the Bible to promote hatred. I am a Christian because I believe in Christ, and I believe in many of the teachings found in the Bible. I also believe the intelligent human being should be able to decipher from its pages that which is good and right. Just listen. http://homophobelol.ytmnd.com/

Coffee

Don't you just love that Monday morning biological coffee experiment that occurs in your mug over the weekend? Especially for those of us who love cream and sugar in their coffee? Woo! Or maybe that should be Eww!

Composting Toilets? AHHHHH

Winnifred — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 11:17:22 GMT

Why do I have an ad for a composting toilet on my page? Are they trying to tell me something here? I mean, I know they're good for the environment and all, but still... Now here's the throne I'd really like to have... http://www.herbeau.com/Products.aspx?Item=5501 Honey...that'll fit in our palatial mansion at Lilies won't it?

Rainbow

I wrote this to a friend earlier: On my way home Friday evening in the rain, sleet, awesome lighting and fabulous thunder I had the privilege of seeing the end of a rainbow. Or the beginning of one. Either way, it ended on the highway in front of me and just to the right a little touching the trunk of the Pontiac traveling in that lane. I know there is a perfectly good scientific explanation for it...but I cannot help but think that person was truly blessed that day. And perhaps myself as well for getting to see it.

The Table Salt Comment

Winnifred — Sun, 05 Nov 2006 19:16:14 GMT

I've had a couple questions about the table salt comment earlier. Here's the story. At work one day, I was filling in for our Customer Service person who receives all the customer comments via email and US post. I was opening the snail mail...the first of which was a pickle slice a kid sent us because the holes in it formed a smiley face. (He thought it was cool). The second one I opened had table salt in it. As I peeked further into the envelope I saw animal hair. My first thought was "wow! someone found animal hair in their table salt...ew!" Then I read the letter, which was written in crayon and said some pretty nasty and threatening things. Needless to say at that point, the "table salt" that had spilled out on my desk suddenly became a "granular substance". Furthermore...after my report, the building was locked down and the hazmat crews were called in. Hense "all hell breaks loose." It certainly was an interesting experience to say the least.

Finally...the end of the "work my rear off" season. Now I can concentrate on...well...life in general. Good to be on the low end of the stress scale.

It's All Relative

It's funny how something can go so quicly from simple "Table Salt" to a "Granular Substance" these days! And when it does all hell breaks loose!
