Note to self
Sep. 30th, 2010 10:45 pmChris and I were having a random discussion about the fact that even though I want to, I can't get a tattoo. My skin is too sensitive, and I'd probably just end up an infected, scarred up mess. Chris had mentioned that he didn't think that I would be able to stand it anyway, because he feels my pain threshold is low.
"I thought about that," I said. "Whatever I got for my first one, I would have wanted to be smaller than the bass clef on your arm?" The question mark is on purpose -- I ended that sentence with a questioning tone of voice and look.
"Why are you making that a question?" Chris asked. "Are you asking if you're right about which clef is on my arm?" I nodded. "You're wrong." And then he died laughing.
"OK, OK! It's a treble clef!" I said.
"I would have also accepted G clef, or 'music thing'," he said.
Note to self: when married to a former music major, do not confuse your treble clefs and bass clefs. He will laugh (hard) at your fail.
LMAO

Can O' Worms/Books
Sep. 12th, 2010 08:35 pmEvery so often, I get caught up in a reread of classic books from my childhood. It grabbed me recently when I discovered that I could download Little Women for free from Google Books. Never mind that I have half a dozen books from my last trip to Half Price Books that are unread, and I'm not even a third of the way done with my FDR biography. Oh, and Chris finally finished the second book in the Millennium Trilogy, so I could start that. But no, I'm sitting on my breaks at work reading about the March sisters and that nice Laurence boy from next door.
No problem, I figure. I get through this and get back to regularly scheduled reading. Then
desert_vixen had to post about the Anne of Green Gables series, and now I'm jonesing to read that too! Except that it's packed away in storage in my parents' attic. Whew! Crisis averted -- they can just stay in the attic. Except that last night, no kidding, all my dreams had Anne of Green Gables quotes in them. So now I'm going to Richmond on Thursday to get my books, and hopefully avoid the next temptation -- that box that has Anne of Green Gables also has the Little House on the Prairie series in it too. Shit. I'm doomed.

Are You a Kathlick?
Jun. 21st, 2010 01:46 amMy father almost never forwards emails, so when I get a forward from him, I never know what to expect. This one was particularly hilarious, so I thought I'd share:
