Things that brought me joy this weekend...
-I got 2 pizza bagels in the Day-Olds
-Jon shared his chocolate milk again
-I gave Jon a Snickers when he wouldn't eat my extra pizza bagel
-Two paper bags equals one plastic bag
-The trash compactors at work are called...wait for it..."Cram-a-Lot"s...YAY!
-A little boy in a bow tie asked for a book and then sat like an angel reading it for 15 minutes
-I saw a Red-Tailed hawk
-While looking up Red-Tailed Hawks, I found a bird called a Bushtit, which made me giggle
-While talking to Eric about my new-found fear of corn, he mentioned corn waiting in a dark alley ready to attack me and I came up with the delightful pun..."the corn is 'stalk'ing me!"
-We got in a new book called
The Purity Test, which I took and found out I am 62% pure, much less pure than I thought.
-Carrie knows me a lot better than previously suspected, or perhaps I am simply more transparent than I thought.
-Saw this awesome video on Jon's blog, which you all should see, and you must watch the second "translation" video

You can argue all you like about the scientific veracity of Global Warming and climate change, but does it seem right to wreak this kind of damage if we don't have to? Anyways, these are just thoughts, not condemnations, but I think the age of me buying anything with a plastic, screw-top lid is over. Incidentally, the secondary definition of albatross in my copy of Webster's reads as follows...
