Does your mother know?

Just another Manic Monday.

Though I was fairly productive, made more progress on the First Aid Crusade, now I just have to order what's missing.

Stocked more of my Spunky Old Ladies Month display. It's highly amusing because everytime I come back to work more people have added to it. It's nice that they actually are excited about this one. Not that they aren't for my others in the past, but this one is unique.

But next time I'm going to have to top it, and that's gonna take some work.

So, tomorrow.

Valentine's Day.

We've figured out that we're not big Valentine's Day people cause we never really have someone to celebrate it with.

This year will be different.

Aaannd since it's my choice....

No idea.

I was totally stumped.

So I asked the master of all wisdom.

Wordie.

"What would you want to do for Valentine's Day if you were a 24 year old guy?"
"Go to a movie."
"We do that all the time."
"Then stay in and make dinner and watch a movie."

Interesting.

Though neither of us can cook.

So therein lies the fun.

It's a challenge.

Cause I like my apartment and don't want it burnt to a crisp.

But I'll have an easy recipe, we just need to buy ingredients and all that.

Anyway, since it's my turn - cause we're incredibly indecisive and somebody needs to step up or we're doomed from the start - I say make dinner and watch a movie.

Star Wars Episode Two, since we just watched the first one on Sunday.

Yes, he'll probably curse me for it as it is what he calls the "romantic one" but isn't that what Valentine's Day is about?

And. If he doesn't like it. He can fix it next week. Cause then it will be his turn.

Take that.

Moving on.

Music Rec's

"Does Your Mother Know" ABBA

oh my god, this is going to drive me nuts. There's an actress, she's blonde, she was in one of my shows - there are so many of them that i have no idea which one - but she looks exactly like Agnetha Fältskog, exact replica of her in the video.

This is gonna drive me nuts.

I think it was NCIS.

I feel like it was NCIS. I don't think it was Grey's. or Criminal Minds. Gotta be NCIS or Castle. Not Chuck.

She was married. Maybe. Or not.

I don't remember, what I do remember is that she was completely straight-laced career driven chick but she was ticked off about something.

Like I said, gonna drive me nuts.

Any help here would be hot.

Back to the song, you could also go with this version: Christine Baranski in Mamma Mia the hungarian makes me laugh. Probably the most amusing moment of the movie. But Christine Baranski is just fantastic in everything. Chicago, Cybil - which actually led to her being cast for this part, they actually based her character in this movie on her character from Cybil.

Quote of the day:

Me: "No, it's a drunk/sober thing."
I can't tell you what it means or why it was said, but I like it so I'm posting it.

You know, sometimes I forget that people actually read this thing. Then when I go to tell a story and they already know all about it, it totally throws me off.

A girl has to have some secrets.

The First Aid Crusade

It's FRIDAY!! I feel like jumping up and down and singing Katy Perry.

Actually I really don't, but I mean I could.

You know, I could.

But I won't.

Cause it would freak out my cat.

But maybe I should, just to see if it would freak out my cat.

But no, I'll pass. My headache finally went away and I don't wanna get it back.

"Quelling a rebellion with a fork."

That's nice.

So I'm hooked back on Chuck.

Just in time since I have like four other series checked out. I always get distracted by one of my own in this situation, then they stockpile and I return half of them cause I'm like, "why was i interested in that in the first place?"

But now that Chuck is over I can finally catch up. Don't tell me what happens, I'm a season behind! Same with Leverage.

Anyway, the day flew by pretty quickly, as they all have lately. I hope it stays that way. Like that I keep enjoying my job. I don't want to get all the way through the program and then get bored with it.

Not that I will. Cause there's something new every day.

Did some fun supplies stuff today. Basically, once a year I go through all the first-aid kits, yes all of them, there are many many multiples - like one every 30 feet, and make sure they have everything on the list and it's not expired.

I'm calling it my First Aid Crusade. Got four down and probably that many more to go, but I'm having all these flashbacks from First Aid class in college and thinking I should get re-certified cause pretty sure that's going to expire soon.

That class was cool. Jammed in the back with Melanie, made sarcastic comments on all the retro videos and people faking injuries. Things taped to body parts so it looks like they're impaled.

"Is the scene safe?"

What are you supposed to do if the answer is no? Just stare at the guy who has a branch sticking out of his leg?

"Oh, it was a horrible skiing accident. I really should have watched out for trees."

You're a brilliant one there George. (Please tell me you get that.)

or

"I think you're dehydrated. Maybe you should sit down."

Dude, he's sweating compulsively, his face is red and he can't breathe, of course he shouldn't be standing!

Back to the Crusade.

The reference workroom had a serious amount of rubbing alcohol, which I thought was funny. It's like a stockpile or something. And like 3 handfulls of antibiotic cream, which none of the other kits had. Then 5 eye patches but no eye wash. I had to share the wealth a bit.

So that was supplies, I also cleaned all the computer monitors on the first floor, that was gross and made me want to sanitize everything. I'm scared to do the keyboards, that will be grosser.

It was one of those random jump from task to task days, cause aside from all that I was still compiling ideas for my booklist and working at all the desks.

Aaannd after work I got all my homework stuff done!!

Woohoo! Finished the paper, posted it, added more to the MARC stuff, e-mailed the prof, sent my thank you letter's and an e-mail to the one that wasn't there, attempted to figure out my summer class schedule, but as it isn't up yet I asked the Library Goddess instead. She knows everything library anyway, that's why I call her the Library Goddess.

Now I can sleep properly. And get stoked for margaritas and fajitas with the Cool Aunt tomorrow.

Which is good, I need a changeup. I've been eating a lot of fruit lately as it is overflowing in my fridge. Like literally, you can open the door and on the left is liquor cause I rarely drink it so it builds up, and on the right is fruit. I got pears, apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, more apples, clementines. It's a stockpile.

Everything today is a stockpile, apparently. I think I just enjoy using that word.

Stockpile.

Stockpile.

STOCKPILE!

Word of the day.

But Mexican sounds good, especially the jalapeno margaritas.

With all my rambling and noun-age you're probably thinking that I'm drinking one right now so I'll move on.

Is noun-age a word?

I'm making it one.

Song for the day:

"Have It All" Jeremy Kay
