Somewhere East of Life

This one is especially for my sister down south. Thought she want to get one of these new fangdangled contraptions for her own home. It won't detect much smoke as such, but it'll sure let you know if you've got a fire in the house!

Sunday Funnies
Since it's Sunday and all, here's a funny story to cheer up your day about a Pastor and a kitten.

Christmas Muses
In other news, my muses have made a surprise visit and I'm writing a Christmas Cracker story for  lazuli_kat's 12 10 days of Spander Christmas.  My day is the 23rd, so I'll post links to it when I'm done.

Health News
That whole thing with the allergic reaction to my meds continued when I discovered the pain I had from the event were actually muscle spasms.  All my muscles from the waist up to the top of my head was sore and sensitive for the better part of a week and a half.  I was stuck eating soft foods for about three or four days because my jaw and throat muscles were so stiff.  I'm much better now, and only vague sensitivity to those areas remains.

Let the festivities begin!!!
I went to the women's Christmas Dinner at church the other night and came back filled with Christmas Spirt.  Damnit.  So, I'm wrapping presents (damn you Fuzzywigs for not including the tag to the Webkinz I bought my nephew and making me go back to beg for it today), baking (back to the store to get the spray oil that doesn't include garlic... "Why do I keep smelling garlic on the banana bread?"), and decorating a bit (still looking for the baby jesus for my nativity).

Bah Humbug
I told my mother just now what I was writing.  She seemed to think that nobody would believe me that I had Christmas Spirit if I was snarking the whole time about what went wrong so far.  LOL - she just may have a point there.

Hope everyone's holidays are going well so far.  *big smooshy hugs all around*

I'm well into summer school now.  I have one student (well, two in the morning) and she's quite the handful.  I applied for two jobs today.  Am on the edge of my seat and biting my nails now awating the results.

After (finally) recovering my computer system, I've been in somewhat of a hiding mood.  I'm still going through some things to correct some old problems that cropped up on the system, so it's been slow going getting caught up on projects.

NOTE: Special attention to fantomeq, velvetwhip, and ifritah for this next bit...

Without further ado, I bring you the list of "You know you're from..." for the Boise residents out there.  For those of you not from Boise, it'll give you an idea of what we're like.  Feel free to ask questions if you're curious.  Some of these just made me laugh...

( You know you're from Boise when... )

I'm told this is a Canadian joke.

Heh.

My mom's been reading a lot of stuff like this lately, but this one was particularly funny. I've seen something along these lines before, but these were a bit different. So, here for everyone (all three of you) who read this journal to enjoy.
