My lines! My lines! I can't remember my lines...ooohhh...

[wednes]

Off work today and tomorrow. Good thing, as I have tons of work to do. Haven't been able to stay up late and work these days. All but one day last week, I was tired and had to go to bed by 3am--even when I had the next day off work. Usually, I only go to bed early because I have to get up early the next day.

I want to go Detroit Zoo. Someone should take me.

Catching up on the JulNoWriMo today, and probably tomorrow. I'm only at about 5,000 words and should be at twice that as the first week is almost over. This is my last month with extra writing time, so I need to make it count. New ep of Kiss Me Like You Love Me podcast hits tomorrow. I still have to record the opening and mix the whole thing. As soon as my patty melt gets here, and I eat it, I'm going to get started. The book itself is coming right along. I seen to have very good luck when it comes to characters taking over and doing their thing. Colleagues decided they hate each other, compassionate people murder out of necessity, and the dog POV intro chapter turned out so wonderful and moving--it actually made me cry.

Scrubbed up my white macbook with a Mister Clean Magic Eraser. Awesome. Finally got my decals from Mac Styles. They were late, despite my paying extra for shipping so they'd get here last week. I sent them an Email and they refunded my TOTAL shipping, not just the extra charge. I thought that was swell of them, plus I love their products. I mixed them with a decal I got from this chick on etsy who has tons of great stuff. Apparently, she makes decals so she can stay home with her kid while her husband is deployed. Anyway, I think they look great:




New hair color should be here soon, bright black. It will be bluish at first, then fade to a deep black. I'm going to bleach some hair out and do some blue and pink Manic Panic. I've never done it before, but I'm stoked.

I've been using Puppy Training Pads on my bathroom floor because Pentelope likes to pee there. Hahaha! Success! Yes, she still pees there, but I don't have to mop 3-4 times a week. Yay.

i would take you to the detroit zoo, but i hate it there. 1000 miles of walking and like 4 animals.

i think we make it to the butterfly house and then i'm bitching about the walk :) i'd go if i could rent one of those carts.

LOL, I've never been to Toledo Zoo but I hear good things. I've always gone to Detroit Zoo since I was very little.

When I was a kid I liked jumping from one elephant footprint to the next, then pretending like the pterodactyl in front of the reptile house was dive bombing me. Not very original, I know. But my childhood is not exactly filled with delightful shit. ;-]

It's made me sort of sad though, ever since that one polar bear got hurt and they had to isolate it.

I ALWAYS want to go to the zoo. Maybe when I have a car again, you, Sara, and I (and respective partners) can go. That sounds like an awesome time. Although I've heard the Toledo Zoo is better than the Detroit one...but whatever. I always used to go to a really nice one called Brookfield Zoo...but that's back where I'm from, near Chicago, so it would be a bit of a drive. :p

That would be fun, though who knows if I could get H to come along. He's weird about stuff like that. We went to Chicago on our Honeymoon so we could go to Shedd, and eat at Rick Bayless's restaurant. It was pretty cool.

First of all, that zoo commercial is my favorite commercial of all times! When I was little I got a zoo key that let me play information about the animals in these boxes they had in various places. I still have the key and was excited to see they still have the boxes at the zoo. Until I discovered that the keys are different now, They look like digital keys, like they have for hotel rooms now :(

And your computer looks awesome!

Where did you order the patty melt from? Just curious.

I also had that red elephant key from Detroit Zoo. I really need to go again and pick up a cool souvenier.

Patty melt came from Ahmo's, the same people who catered our wedding.

yeah. that is sadness. my family always went to the toledo zoo. i went back a few years ago and it seems so small. but it's nice to lap the zoo and not die.
