1. election day:
I haven't yet registered my car in NC, but I have somehow managed to register to vote, which is awesome. However, election day snuck up on me and I didn't research the canedetes... canadites... you know... the people running for office... soooo.... I just didn't vote.
2. my dad's birthday:
It seems to me that my dad's birthday and election day fall on the same day like every other year, but I'm sure that can't possibly be the case. I don't know, maybe it's because of daylight savings. Anyway, happy birthday Dad. Enjoy this year, 'cause next year you're officially old.
3. fall is in full swing. In honor of that occasion, I took a fall picture. Here it is.
Well, dear readers, all those wonderful things aside, it has been a long, long time sice I've given you a real update, and a long time since I've updated my sink art, too. Sink art shall be updated soon, but I'll give a brief short update and a funny story I've been saving.
Funny story first.
I was in my shower, getting ready for bed at about 12:30 pm, when I looked up and saw on my ceiling, just chillin' there like she owned the place, the grandmommie of all cockroaches. It was really scary. So I hopped out of the shower and grabbed a jar. I tried to catch it in the jar, but it ran into my shower caddy. At this point, I grabbed my cell phone and began frantically dialing all the guys I could think of. I started with my neighbor Vince, then Marco and Christain, but none of them answered, so I called Jeff next. The thought of coming over at 12:30 to kill a cockroach made him laugh, but I finally got him to agree (he lives really close). After I hung up, Vince called and told me he was home, so I asked him to come over. When I heard the knock, I ran down, opened the door, and pushed him up the stairs. He kept stalling, and I was afraid the cockroach would go away, so I asked him if he wanted me to call Jeff to do it. "No, because my sister and I had a rule that if one didn't want to do it the other one had to." Long and short, Vince was a hero and put it in the toilet, told me I was crazy, and left. And that is one of many reasons I'm so glad Vince is my neighbor.
Ok, I have several more things to update about, but not tonight. :)

Once upon a time, there was an evil Pygmy Owl, who found herself moonstruck with jealousy after following a sweet young thing home. Insane Pygmy Owl found her way into the girl's house, where she planned to ambush her imagined rival and dine on her remains. A household Cockroach warned her: "Do not touch the girl, for she is under my protection." Ever so insignificant, Cockroach's admonition went ignored and Pygmy Owl seized the young lady and ate her up.
ReplyDeleteYears later, the Cockroach kept an eye on the Pygmy Owl's nest. Whenever the Owl would lay an egg, dutiful Cockroach climbed up and rolled it out, destroying it. And Pygmy Owl got so anxious over it, she brought her next set of eggs to Zeus, begging him to keep them in his lap. So Cockroach made a small ball of dirt and brought it into Zeus's lap. Vain Zeus saw the dirt, and stood up to shake it out of his immaculate regal robe, forgetting about the soon-smashed eggs. Ever since, birds of prey have kept clear of homes under the watch of well-meaning Cucarachas.
