Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?
by Denise Sawicki on April 30, 2008
Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. But you don't really notice these things so much until you have to take care of them yourself, I guess. There's rumors of another snowstorm coming this weekend, which is completely nuts. I thought the last 3 snowstorms were too much, particularly the one this past weekend. Oh I know I was just saying how annoying it is when the weather's good enough for people other than me to be outside. I guess I change my mind a lot. :P I suppose all this cold and snow is going to be explained in some twisted way by global "warming"... :-)
In other news I'm obsessed with Viva Pinata. Darrell read somewhere that it's "very, very easy" to get all 1000 achievement points on that game. I don't know what that person who said that was smoking. Perhaps I'm just stupid but it's a hard game. It would be impossible if you didn't read online help. I am a bit too impatient to avoid the online help entirely. Man there are some crazy things you need to do if you want to keep all the different kinds of mean pinatas from attacking your nice pinatas. I know I am spelling pinata wrong, thank you spell checker. Well I sure hope I wasn't meant to be smart enough to figure out all that stuff on my own. Even with online help there's still a lot of difficulties, and a lot of sitting around and waiting. Incidentally this is an example of something very boring that I like to do. I am sure my tc post on the topic of past lives was offensive. I'm just an offensive person I guess.

So the flood is on its way out, but not without bringing a little excitement. It was time yesterday to go 50 miles to the farm for Darrell's grandma's 90th birthday. Foolishly, I chose our usual route instead of the alternate route that was high and dry 2 years ago when the water was 2 feet higher. Go »Cereal
Scott mentioned having 5 boxes of cereal - that is nothing, I just did a quick count at home and we have at least 25! Some extras might be lurking in other rooms of the house! It's quite unbelievable really. Go »Vacation
Well I requested some time off work until January 3rd... For the price of 4 vacation days I get 11 days off. We're going to go visit my husband's older brother in Wisconsin around New Years... Go »Would you like the receipt with you, or in the bag?
I don't really understand why people ask this. Doesn't it take longer to ask this question and wait for the answer than to just let the person do what they please with the receipt? Oh well. Go »Ghost of an Unkissed Kiss
As though I don't look bad enough for sharing information on my lame celebrity crushes, here's a real-life one, albeit a really old one. I'd forgotten that his full name was in the movie we watched the other day and maybe hearing his name was what got me started on this nostalgic path. He's got a common name. Go »

It's been colder late in the spring here too, although that doesn't mean much. Snow in May is just wrong.
