The Great Virginia Earthquake of 2011

August 23, 2011

And the casualties of the aforementioned....

There was a 5.9 earthquake 34 miles from Richmond today. The biggest in Virginia in something like 100 years, or possibly ever. I'm tired of listening to the news about it to get it completely accurate.... Not too much harm done here, a couple knick knacks broken from falling off shelves, and some pictures needing straightening on walls but that's about it.

Thankful that everyone in RVA appears to be safe and sound!

But anyway, now I can say I lived through an earthquake.

Virginia Is For Lovers

August 21, 2011

So I was cleaning out some craft supplies recently (I have a lot...) and I gave some to a friend of mine. Popsicle sticks were included.

She in return makes me THIS.....

A necklace of the state of Virginia with a little heart in it..... Isn't it the coolest thing you've ever seen?

I couldn't believe she made it out of popsicle sticks... Talk about resourceful.

I told her she needs to make a whole bunch of states and sell them.

I mean wouldn't you buy one?

I'm kind of obsessed with it.

I'm Blessed

With friends who seem to know just when I need a little note telling me how much I'm loved.

I love them.

Today's Adventure

August 17, 2011

So there I was driving home from work, jamming out to some New Order (Temptation to be exact) when all of a sudden, in the middle of one of the lanes of the four lane road, there was a hat.

It was a blue baseball hat, flat brimmed, with a big "VA" on it.

It only took me passing through another stop light to decide that I needed to go back for it

(don't worry it was a legal U turn).

So I turned around, parked on the side of the road

(don't worry I used my flashers)

and ran across the road to retrieve it.

And now I have a new hat.

(don't worry I'm going to wash it)

Sometimes the best things in life are free.

Just Another To Do List

August 15, 2011

I love making lists.

Which you've probably already noticed/guessed.

For some reason making the list itself makes me feel almost as if I've accomplished all the things on it already. Or that I'm at least half way to doing so. I've also noticed that when I share with other people what some of the things I have to do are (sorry if you've ever been one of those people, I know I can go on forever about it...) I am more inclined to get them done.

It subconsciously holds me accountable I think.

So.

Don't bother to keep reading (but don't tell me you're not because I have to think you are so that this works. Remember, accountability and all) because this is to force me into being hopefully productive.

Or if anything at least spend five minutes procrastinating.
