Aggregation of awesome.
Some lessons are expensive. I believe hint: he didn't like it.
For me, the key takeaway of the evening is that WHISKEY ROCKS. I thought scotch was yummy, but I was wrong. Booker's Noe on ice.... I m n luv.
(I need a food category. Hm.)
If you receive a random IM asking this:
[14:10] MO: what size ring do you wear?
and after you respond the conversation goes like this:
[14:11] MO: carry on
[14:11] Me: whywhywhywhywhy....
[14:11] Me: ?????
[14:12] MO: because a pistol should not be your only birthday present and I found something badass
and then it turns out he knows you well enough to realize that you would agree that this is totally badass and he can't actually wait til your birthday so you get to wear it right away....
[Go Swarovski!]
Well! Then you know your man really loves you.
Of course, the fact that you already have a new pistol waiting for you is the real tip-off.... The wearable bling is the icing on the cake ;-)
[Meet Tim Gunn. Yes, I've seen it. I've even fondled it. But no shooting til The Official Day....]
I think forty-one is going to be a seriously pretty shiny year!

I am getting really tired of the weathermen creating STUPID HYPE around every cloud that ventures forth from the Gulf. Guess what, guys, sometimes IT'S JUST WEATHER. Like we've all dealt with and yes, even survived! for years. Get a grip. It doesn't always have to be The Next Big Drama.
I took this video on my way home from work today. The office across the hall from us didn't even open this morning. They must all be from someplace where it never rains.
This wanna-be-disaster didn't even rate "average summer thunderstorm" interest. I cleaned my windshield just to get some "raindrops" in the picture somewhere....
Look what I found on sale at FusionBeads....
Yummy!! No, I don't know what I'll do with them. Yes, I want them to be here already.
And/Or good brakes. But probably more good luck than anything else..... "Running a red light" usually means someone trying to sneak through a little bit after their light turns red. This morning some dude barreling down Shepherd didn't even see the light, as far as I can tell. I was the third or fourth car in line, and the guy in front of me had just turned left. I'm halfway across the intersection and all of a sudden I'm slamming on my brakes because a pickup truck is zooming across right in front of me! I thought, wtf, I fell asleep in the intersection or didn't notice the light change or what? but I looked up at my light and sure enough it was still green as green can be. I was inches from having a severely t-boned Miata. That's one way to wake up, but I can't say that I actually recommend it.
