it's snowing and it's sunny. you know what's next, locusts.

you wanna know a secret. most of the things i blog, are things that i say to myself all day. all day long. and sometimes i giggle. so i've been murmuring about locusts to myself all day. or, as many hours as there have been of today. it sometimes amazes me that i am employed. and speaking of employment, i have to plan my vacation schedule. how much does that suck? how do i know if i need the third monday in june off on january 7th. i don't know, but i think i better take it because otherwise i'll miss that really important appointment i haven't made yet. arghh grrr mmmphf.
when i was in MD kirsten made the best observation. we were arguing, or rather she was arguing, with mr. verizon guy at the mall about her phone, which was not made to be talked on and is now broken but can not be replaced because it's not february. (kirsten "if there is tangible evil in this world, it is verizon") and so anyway, we worked something out that she can use the icky headset that makes it look like you're talking to yourself until february to save hundreds of dollars even though she was not a happy kirsten. (wow, there's alot of lead in to this...) ok and then as were leaving she says "you know why older people walk around mumbling and mphfing to themselves all the time...they've had to have hundreds of conversations just like that. when we're fifty that's all we'll be able to say. i'll call you and just say "mphf. grrr. roar. mphfhhhhhh." and you'll know exactly what i mean."
she also said that if we all stopped fighting that the world would be the best thing in the whole...uhh...world. which is almost as good as "you gotta breath like your life depends on it". so really, kirsten should be writing this blog.
