Was kind of a weirdass day.
It started with a pack of cookies and ended with a bag of catfood and some leftover sushi.
Basically we never have snack-age in the backroom. Well, our backroom that is. There are plenty of snacks throughout the other back rooms so I brought cookies.
Cause I'm an enabler like that.
The morning flew by but that's only because I went to lunch from 11:45-12:45, and when I say I went to lunch I mean I grabbed lunch from the place across the street and drove across town to a different branch where we were supposed to meet at 1PM. The plan was to eat on the way and then go in, but it took shorter than I thought - construction is a mess there - so I ended up eating and staying in the car until like 12:50 listening to the awesomeness that is Kristen Johnston's autobiography "Guts" which chronicles her drug addictions and recovery and life in comedy and all that.
I know, yet another celebrity drug horror story and it actually reminds me a bit of Carrie Fisher's "Wishful Drinking" which I also loved the audio of.
There's something about listening to the author's themselves reading the books they slaved over.
Anyway, it's hysterical because she's hysterical and it's open and honest and really I had no idea that she was hooked on Morphine and all that, but then she was on Anderson Cooper after the olympics reading her faux-obituary and since I loved her on 3rd Rock I figured I'd look into it.
Definitely worth it. On disc three and still loving it.
Okay, so after lunch with the meeting. Us TAB leader-folk decided to get together before the actual TAM - scroll to yesterday and you'll get the abbreviation - to talk about our Hunger Games party. Basically we're getting all of our kids together at a park to celebrate the awesomeness that is the Hunger Games by competing in random games and all that, should be fun I'm excited for it.
After our pow-wow was the actual meeting, mostly Summer Reading stuff - booklets, programs and the sadness that was the lone bunny at the home branch but that's a longer story - then I headed back to the work branch to finish off the day, taking down our artwork covering the ELL room window and working two consecutive hours with the Queen of the Known Universe. We were in shock, mostly because yesterday we decided they never stick us together because they know we'll probably take over the library in some sort of hostile manner.
But we're better than hostile, we're sneaky, and came up with our plan during hour 2 of our afternoon.
After closing up the lab I headed out to meet the sisters for sushi. I was there first - think that's a first for our dinners but there's usually some element of carpool - we talked Vegas, camp, significant others and tiny children.
Some highlights include:
-"2 Buddhas and a Bonzai" - so my boyfriend thinks that I don't drink. Which I guess lately, I haven't so much. Not that I keep track, but we do lean toward an adult beverage when we do our monthly dinners. This time it was sushi so we tried their fruity drinks and they turned out pretty well.
-"Salmon in the coffee aisle" - I hate Hyvee. Well, not the chain, just the one in particular, but apparently even Oldest Sister disagrees with their customer service. My angst revolves around their organizational system, okay so they don't have salmon in the coffee aisle, but they might as well.
-"What happened in there?"
-"I don't know, but it hurt." - as I was told by my mother as I cringed in fear, "if your 6 year old nephew can get his cavities filled you can get your cavities filled" So my nephew had cavities that needed filled and as his mother's wonderful pain-free theory of ignorance is bliss resounds when it comes to getting your cavities filled she didn't tell him about the shots. Famous story in our family - which I told on here a while ago during the "on nitrus" post is that the dentist told her that she was being pinched and that's what hurt, my brother then explained, "it's not a pinch you idiot it's a shot" and changed her dentist visits forever. I told this story to my dentist after he told me I'd "feel a slight pinch" and then he changed it to "okay, it's not a pinch".
The catfood that this day ended with actually came about after supper, apparently when I picked up Carter from the farmhouse I grabbed the tub of food, but neglected to grab the bag of food which must have been somewhere in the general vicinity. So Mom brought it to the zoo today - the family went while I was at work, which I'm fine with. Now the only thing that comes to mind when I think of the zoo is the lonely bunny at the home branch, smooth. Long story. Anyway, so she brought it to the zoo and gave it to Oldest Sister who stuck me with it after dinner.
So I got to carry that up the stairs along with my sushi leftover that I will probably pull out immediately following this post.
For some reason leftover sushi always tastes better after midnight.
Alright, I'll leave you with this clip of Kristen reading the epilogue to her book. I really do recommend it, I'll wait 'til I finish to give it an accurate Scale of Awesome rating. But if you like comedy, strong women and tales of unfortunate events then this is the book for you.
rock solid.
killed my pre-11:50 postings, bummer.

Thoughts from my Nitrous-addled brain…plus the GCB
Apparently, if my six-year-old nephew can get cavities filled I can get cavities filled.
Or so said my mother in her pep talk on the way to the dentist this morning.
Made me feel semi-pathetic but it worked. I can get cavities filled. As long as there is nitrous involved.
Dude, that stuff is wicked awesome. And I was on it for over an hour so there were a lot of random thoughts that went through my mind.
Thoughts that came to mind while I was on Nitrous:
-Dude. What if like people didn’t have noses. That would suck. Then we’d always have to breathe through our mouths. And then if something happened to your mouth you couldn't breathe. And then you'd be dead. All cause you had no nose.
-Dude. If I flinch is he going to slice off my tongue?
-Dude. That freakin’ repurposing project is this week. How am I gonna finish all those crafts, pilfer a mass amount of withdrawn books, and act semi-crafty in front of the kids? Granted I’ve started on some but they are questionable. But that’s what Squirt and Mentor are for.
-Dude. How awful of an editor am I? I’ve had her stories for over two months and they’re still not finished. How did I used to have time to do all this stuff plus write my own before? Oh right, that was college. Who studied in college? Joe Studley doesn’t like it when I say I guessed or rambled about stuff and got a 4.0 for two semesters.
-Dude. I’m running out of time on my DVR. I need to watch some of those shows so I can delete them and add more.
-Dude. I have so many useless fact books checked out that I should probably make an attempt at reading. Or the one Wordie gave me. A year ago. That’s still sitting on my endtable. But I don’t read books I check out from the library. I think they’re a good idea, so I check them out. And then ultimately I get distracted. However, if I buy the book then I don’t have to worry about due dates or if I’m in the mood to read in this three week period. And then I read.
-Dude. I’m gonna take a monster nap after this.
-Dude. My freakin’ curtains have yet to be hung up in the living room. I hate napping in the light.
-Dude. How does this crap stay in your mouth? If I eat something is it gonna come out. I will puke. Or pass out. Or puke and then pass out.
-Dude. Puking and passing out is not pleasant.
There were a few more Dude’s, but I’ll move on, you get the point.
My dentist rocks. And my hygenist sits with me to make sure I don't pass out.
And they let me wear headphones. Though no singing, sorry Sensei. I was competent enough to control that.
And it wasn't so bad. I made them laugh when I told them my sibling's story. Basically Second Sister was like,
"why does the dentist pinch you when you have a cavity?" and my brother was like,
"that's not a pinch you idiot that's a shot."
and she didn't believe him so he said to keep her eyes open when she's there, then she saw the needle and hated my brother for that.
So after the joy that was nitrous and the fact that I couldn't feel anything or swallow anything for like hours I took a nap. It was wicked awesome. Except it's light out so I really need to hang up these curtains. They've been sitting on my foosball table for like a year.
After my wicked awesome nap with my cat I caught up on some DVR. I don't think he knows what to do when I'm home during the day. He just stares at me. Or bites me cause I'm on his couch.
Anyway, DVR. So I watched Missing. Fantastic. Ashley Judd is a badass. Which I don't think I've said since Double Jeopardy.
Caught up on Bones, it was very creepy at the beginning which was exciting cause it's always so comedic and that's a change of pace. Reminded me of the Gormagon episodes, which were awesome. But then this one ended randomly - it was like is this a cliffhanger or not? Cause I mean are they going to pursue him next episode or is this just another one of those they'll come back to later. There was no big moment at the end to explain. I wish it was a bigger cliffhanger, you know? Something that would make me start watching it live time again? It's not as exciting anymore now that they're finally together. Sorry, ramble-nation.
The GCB is fabulous. I'm in love with it already and there's only been two episodes. BUT IT'S SO FUNNY!
Leslie Bibb is great as ever it's good to see her back in a starring role, Kristin Chenowith is always fantastic, plus you throw in a bunch of other actresses that I know from all these other shows and it's like I KNOW YOU! But how the hell do I know you? Like the chick that plays Heather, took me until the second episode to realize what she was from. I just kept seeing her dancing and hanging out of a limo. And then it hit me, VEGAS VACATION!
Anyway, I love it because it's original and it has fantastic one-liners.
Here are a few of my favorites:
-My bible's in my other purse.
-Why would anyone in their right mind leave Dallas for southern California? We’ve got the same weather without the liberals!
-She’s a yo-yo’er, right now the yo is up.
-Oh darlin’ you were a bitch with teeth.
-You reap what you sow – that’s Texan for karma.
-Onward you christian soldier.
-Got a job at a booby bar. - think that's my favorite cause she says it so blase in her opening narrative
-My husband just died, I’m still mourning the bastard for god’s sake!
-...or I’m gonna move me and the kids to a refrigerator box under the interstate, understood?
-As long as it’s the I-20, nobody we know ever rides that road.
-God she’s such a Pharisee.
-Well, someone’s been reading her New Testament.
-No I just googled hypocrisy.
-You have two guns? Mother what are you afraid of?
-*pulls out a shotgun* Not a damn thing.
So yes, you should watch it. It's fantastic. And now I'm stoked for Scandal. Though it doesn't start until like Mid-April.
Alright, DVR is updated, homework is done and posted, tomorrow is 9-6 so I'm out!
