New furniture

Really kicking myself for not getting the floors repaired or painting the walls before the new furniture was delivered. Lazy at a professional level people, it's not as easy as it looks.

So here's the ugly-but-oh-so-comfy new living room set. Can't bring myself to take the tags off because that will mean they're really mine.

Oh and I have to add, because I'm an asshole, that I beat Macaroni's high score on Donkey Konga my first time out. Holding those damn bongos between my knees hurts the old lady arthritis like nobody's business but it's actually fun. Not Mario Kart on the Wii fun but I like having a game Macaroni and I can both enjoy.

Thank You Veterans!

I haven't been to work since Thursday. It's heaven. Well, heaven would have been taking that trip to New Orleans with the girls, which is what we had originally planned when I took the days off work. Or, possibly even better, laying on a beach in Mexico all alone for five days. But not being at work is close enough.

I'm so not missing my messy desk

Trying to get a few things off my To Do List today, so that I can reward myself with a movie. Going to see Zack and Miri Make a P0rno this afternoon. So far I've almost finished shopping for the foster care kids we're sponsoring this Christmas and finally got around to framing a couple of photos from my vacations. I still need to schedule several appointments; an estimate for repairs on our hardwood floors, a physical, an eye exam and a new tattoo consultation. I also need to clean my bedroom...the window ledge above my bed is so dusty I could hardly sleep last night. Yucky dust mite nightmares! I'm sure there are a million other things too, but I really want to see this movie and feel like sitting in the dark all by myself.

I wanted to hang these in the bathroom but Mackie

thinks that's weird. There's a giant spider in the corner.

Does Stephen Colbert really have his mouth open constantly?

Guess who got new glasses?

What is Missouri waiting for?

President Elect Barack Obama!

Still too spent to string any words together. So happy, so relieved. So glad it's over.

New Ewan movie

Trailer for Incendiary and a bonus clip. This looks really, really good. And Michelle Williams does an impressive English accent. Oh, and there's naked Ewan on the couch.

I wouldn't normally do this

but damn, look how hot he is. I hate the way the paparazzi go after celebrities, but since his kids aren't in the photo and he's on a movie location I'm going to let this one slip. Because again, damn.



Apparently there was an earthquake where they're filming, which I think is in Puerto Rico. Hopefully no one was hurt, thankfully Ewan wasn't.

I'm sitting here watching Macaroni play video games and painting an Obama onesie for a woman I work with. Thrilling life, isn't it?

Crap! It's so little. (Hint: those are beer cans and bottles on the steps) Oh well, it was exactly what I needed on a Monday morning.

From this Rolling Stone Article

At least three of McCain's GOP colleagues have gone on record to say that they consider him temperamentally unsuited to be commander in chief. Smith, the former senator from New Hampshire, has said that McCain's "temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him." Sen. Domenici of New Mexico has said he doesn't "want this guy anywhere near a trigger." And Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi weighed in that "the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded."
