And it now occurs to me that I mixed countdown with contain, which makes more sense -- a contained countdown. Yes, yes, what I meant all along.
So, what we've learned today, friends, is that (Mel, sweetie, are you paying attention?):
1. It's time to move far, far away from the next door relations. 2. I have a new fetish. 3. When I say dirty things on video they sound cute instead of dirty. 4. I don't like being kissed by anyone but hot boys who I invite to kiss me. And perhaps the occasional hot girl when I'm intoxicated. But NOT my relations and not random people. 5. Bees can have lime green heads. 6. Siamese cats can look stupid but act smart. 7. It'd be easier if I used ordered list code here but I'm not. 8. If you tell one of your relations that he's acting angry he will then proceed to epiphany in front of your very eyes and you'll have to patiently wait and smile while he works through it. 9. I don't actually like pie, I just like to say I do. 10. I can't wait to tell someone in particular about one of these items because I'm curious what that person will say. 11. Poppy is a Cylon reborn as Poppet for those residing in parts of Canada and a particular cheese-producing state where there are tornado warnings. For everyone else I am still Poppy. 12. I have a lot of friends. Like, a lot. Like, at least two. Maybe 100. (Is 100 a lot?) I could name them all but then I'd have to kill you. 13. When you're muttering to yourself at the dinner table in front of your family someone is bound to notice and ask you what you're saying so you better have an answer prepared. 14. I really enjoy listing things because crossing things off is fun. This isn't that kind of list, however. 15. I take too many pictures.
I would appreciate your insight into this matter. And by this matter I mean any of it.
Also, things are growing at my house! Woohoo! And the sun is out! Double-woohoo! Sooooo, I made a bit of an early Sunday Garden Party set. My favorite part of the set is my own feet, despite my dislike for feet. Here are the feet photos:
Some of you may recall the pine tree that was struck by lightning, which is also represented in the set. It seems to be doing well! All photos were taken today. And, to answer your non-verbalized question: Yes, there is mud and snow and green grass and sunshine all on the same day. I live in a magical land.
Someone fixed my iTunes shuffle, because yesterday all I heard were sad, sad, sad songs and today all I am hearing are effing kickass songs. :) Thank you, whoever you are.
I have a super busy-in-a-fun-way workday. I love those. If I keep having those I might actually have to confess that I enjoy my job. (I secretly do, but please don't tell anyone.)
Oh. This is a piece of news for the ladies, or for the men who like to buy things for their ladies or for themselves (whatever floats your boat, guys ;). Currently there is a FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $95 offer at Frederick's of Hollywood. When you order the items, please note that you have to place the promo code on the cart page, underneath all the cart items. DON'T click to proceed before entering the code, because they don't give you another chance further down the ordering road to enter this code. Conspiracy theory dictates that they don't actually want to give you free shipping so they make it hard to find the the field so that you won't use it. Don't say I never gave you anything, because I just gave you free shipping. Well, Fred really did, but... I assisted. :D If you get the catalog then you have a code. If you don't get the catalog then you can use the code: 7WSFR95. Enjoy!
Hay just sent me an article about a glass-bottom skywalk over the Grand Canyon being unveiled today. Road trip, anyone? I went in '98 with a girlfriend who lives in New Mexico and had the very odd experience of thinking the Canyon just looked like a painting even though I was standing over the edge looking down/across. I'd like to go again when I don't have a 3rd degree sunburn that causes me to hallucinate.
