This better be real

I do realize that I probably post too much about the weather. But I have been waiting for a day like this for weeks. Maybe months.

So I got up this morning, got ready, was headed out the door to make the trek to Jeremy's for coffee and lunch item theft (it's come to my attention that I'm a bad grocery shopper, which is another, equally-as-interesting story, I assure you). And I opened my front door and saw the clouds and it was.... more exciting than 49 cats on a houseboat, to put it in the words of my brother.

So I drove to work suspiciously, afraid that the clouds would go away. That's what Oklahoma does to clouds. And I checked weather.com and this better be real.

Nine hours in a lab sounds extraordinarily unreasonable.

If you haven't seen one of his organ performances... you're missing out. To say he's talented or to say he has strong stage presence would both be gross understatements.

Photo stolen from Facebook. My camera was giving me problems and the best that I took are silverish blueish blurs.

In case you're curious.

Today I brought 4 Twizzlers and chocolate milk for lunch. I guess it’s time to visit the grocery.

I survived My First Earthquake. Yes, I am refraining from writing a full paragraph about it.

Oklahoma is in a time warp. I think workweeks are getting longer but the clocks continually report that only 40 hours pass. Huh.

Another weekend at the Parental Resort was filled with a very good yoga during which I was sat upon by the instructor, a motorcycle ride that really made me miss motorcycle rides, and many other enjoyable enjoyables. Special thanks to all involved parties.

I keep thinking that I would do better science at work if instead of an office chair, I was given a weirdly shaped camping chair which I could supplement with a decorative (soft) pillow and a woven throw, or something. This is my way of saying I miss the desk chair I had in college for a while, which was surprisingly very comfortable and effective, until I junkily stepped through it and ripped it to pieces. It was also good for napping.

I just discovered a new recipe on Joy the Baker to try, but if anyone wants to (magically, I guess) deliver them to me post haste, I would not complain. You will find me at work, twirling my hair, doing science in my dull office chair.

When you're tired of looking at the last post, send BULLETS

As enthralling as that animation was, I was tired of looking at it every time I saw this site. Therefore, I drew up a challenge for myself: think up a new post. I failed. Then I thought I could at least manage the bullet point thing. So here are five bullet points. Five was my goal.

1. Every time an Oklahoman meteorologist or reporter or ANYONE pronounces it cue-lurr (or queue-lurr) instead of cooler, it angers the climate and adds a degree to the daily high and takes fall away. That is climate change. Although I guess that would make them happy, because when we shamelessly hit the 90s earlier this week, they called it nice. GROSS.
2. Jeremy recently sustained a football-related injury that left him with a temporary lisp and extreme pain during talking/smiling/laughing/using his face in any way. The sad (and mildly startling) part of this was when we were having a FamilyGuyAthon + ice cream to help him feel better, and I kept hearing the depressing, withered mumbling that was his crippled laughter.
3. I just finished a book (given to me by mine roommate of old) that was probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen, ever. As usual with me, I read it about ten years after it was big news. Not really. But it makes me feel like I’m just now saying GUYS. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS THING CALLED HARRY POTTER? (It wasn’t Harry Potter)
4. For my birthday, I want a skyful of gray clouds. Please.
5. It's Friday night and I really can't think of a fifth thing, besides to say that it's been a long week, and kind of busy, but mostly just long. And now I'll probably make some night coffee and have a good sit.
