sea and air

Dear QotD?ers,

instead of going out with the IT crowd for lunch today, Justin and I went by ourselves. one teammate called in sick and the other was on vacation. poor small IT group, I can only imagine that Justin goes crazy some days. i watched some TV tonight and was disgusted with the result of SYTYCD and delighted with the 'fall finale' of GLEE. sometimes a person just needs to watch goofy shows.

Practically, I could use some pants for wearing to work. I hate buying pants and I haven't done it much since I lost my 15 pounds. Frivolously, a stylish hat. I don't know what kind of style would suit me, but it'd be fun to walk around wearing a hat and looking cool.

Today's Quesiton of the Day? is:

Would you rather take a free scenic boat ride of a free scenic plane ride?

Love,

odd couple

Dear QotD?rs,

justin missed the trashcan in our bedroom and the one in the laundry room. that brings our total to 8. At today's wedding shower luncheon, we had pasta salad, cheese n' crackers and other hors'd'vours. And i still cant't find a fake christmas tree that doesn't look naked. I'm going to have to convince Justin that we need a live, 6'-7' Douglass Fir for $35. I think Friday i'll have time to decorate the house for Chrsitmas.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What are one very practical and one decidedly fun gift idea for you and someone you love?

love,
The Asker
p.S. if you think this is an attempt to get christmas gift ideas for family members, you are partially correct.

This fact will serve no purpose

Dear QotD?ers,

Thank you for all of your thermostat responses. I still need to work out what I can stand. Not that I feel the need to be a thermostat grinch, but there should be a range where all non-feet parts of my body are comfortable. In 'winter,' it's not reasonable to control foot temperature by thermostat. If two pairs of socks and a blanket aren't enough to instigate foot warmth, I give up and block out the coldness.

This evening I went to Hobby Lobby so I could look at christmas trees and other christmas decorating items. we have a whole big house this year and I'd like it to look christmassy! i was flaberghasted when I saw there was less than 1/2 the amount of christmas stuff they had the week before thanksgiving. They had spring garden stuff out already! WHAT IS GOING ON, HOBBY LOBBY!?!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

How many trash cans are in your abode?

s'cold.

Dear QotD?ers,

I did it! I got it to snow for Justin's birthday! It was 6 days early, but I don't care - it's an amazing feat for me to have accomplished. First, the Justin at the car as we left work. Second, our house covered in snow.

But, The Asker, where is the snowman you promised? Oh, he turned out fantastic and will be featured on this year's Christmas card. All of you regular participants will be getting one! If you've moved since last year, e-mail me your new address. Sabrina, I don't know if I should send yours to Brasil or down the street.

I am definately a better driver in real life. However, I am better in video games at playing guitar, jumping really high and shooting fireballs.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What do you keep your thermostat set at during the winter season?

Love,
The Asker

Dear QotD?ers,

Another day sitting at home with tissues, ginger ale and a thermometer. For most of the morning I did not have a 'fever' (even though it was still 1° higher than my normal temp), but this evening it's back around 99º. And my feet are freezing. it doesn't matter what socks or how much blankets are wrapped around them. They are warm in the shower and under the electric blanket. Today I also had chills and sweats, but I ate a frozen pizza, so i'm getting nutrition. I'll try to go to work tomorrow, since my doctor's note says I can and otherwise there's more paperwork to fill out. I'll just close my office door and put up a sign. Come on, antibiotics, get working already!

It looks like my plan for Justin's Birthday Snow is still on schedule for being early. Expect it tomorrow morning with additional inches in the afternoon. Regardless of how sick I feel or am, I will be in the backyard making Snow Americans with my husband for his early birthday present. There will be pictures.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Are you better at real driving or videogame driving? If you'd like, you can susbstitute 'driving' with 'skateboarding,' 'fighting,' 'jumping,' or 'commanding armies.'

Love,
The Asker

let it

Dear QotD?ers,

I stayed home again. Yesterday was about battling the mucus coming out of my head. Today was about battling tired, aches and coldness. I've been sitting under the electric blanket for about 3 hours this evening. I'm looking sad and pathetic ~weak cough~ Sympathy helps me to feel better, so please keep sending it. Tomorrow will be about helping the antibiotics work and defeating a fever. Go Immune System Go!
What do I even tell you? It's not like I did anything of interest today. I did go to the doctor and then to Target to fill prescriptions, but I had a little bottle of hand sanitizer that I used every time I blew my nose. Regardless of how effective it may have been, I'm hoping it reassured the members of the public I encountered.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Do you like snow?

Love,
The Asker

sounds a little rough

Dear QotD?ers,

There is a Beatles song "I've got a feeling" that is included in Beatles Rock Band. At two different locations this weekend, when people saw that, two persons simultaniously sang "woooohoooo." It was weird. The following lyric of the Beatles song is "A feeling deep inside."
I did stay home from work, and good thing, since I've had a fever. I also have a scratchy voice, reminding me of Senor Cardgage. He's my favorite scratchy voice character.
If you don't follow along in the comments, here's an udpate on my latest mistaken identity. Apparently there is some girl in Humble, TX named Kristen Brown who is causing problems for herself and me. It's not even my old car. It's just someone making dumb mistakes searching through databases and picking one of the Kristen Browns at random. Justin called the lawyers and told them I was not the same Kristen Brown they should be hunting down. I should be clear.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Who is your favorite scratchy voice character?

Love,
The Asker
ACHOO.
