A wall...

They are building a WALL in Baghdad.

Have we learned anything from our history?

Apparently, we haven't.

*sigh*

We do not have casual day at my office.  And in fact, I am about to head to court to watch one of my colleagues argue a case that I've been helping with for weeks.  I am very much looking forward to seeing the outcome.  However, that also means that I am wearing a suit.  I'd much rather be wearing my black corduroy jeans and a cute purple & black top...but, even if I didn't have to go to court, I'd still not be able to wear my jeans.

Grrr.

As is par for me, while I am aware of the tragedy in Virginia, I am refraining from commenting about it, since it has been beaten nearly to death by the media already.

Yes, in the best tradition of fiddling while Rome burns, I am going to focus on trivialities.  Aren't you happy to see that some things never change?

So, I am torn.  As I said, I have to go to court today.  The trial is at 2:30, and should be out by 4:30.  It is in a town about 10 miles from here, and there is a great yarn store there.  AND they are having a sale.  I am VERY tempted to go over there after the trial.  Not because I need yarn, you understand...but because it is on sale.  And, well, I am not a woman to resist a sale.  At least not easily.  Plus, they just got in an order of light up crochet hooks - I've been waiting for these to come out for ages...now I can take one to the movie theater and really annoy everyone by crocheting during a movie!!

Yeah, that new hook is pretty freakin' cool.  I NEED several.  Maybe if I just get some hooks?  (Yeah, like I have the self-control to go into a yarn store and not buy yarn.  Especially when it is on sale!)

Ok...outta here.  Must go look all lawyerly and stuff. 

You think the Judge might be offended if I crochet in the courtroom? 

"Bush wants 'clean' war spending bill"

Well, you know what they say in Texas, don't you?

"Want in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first." 

I've probably mentioned this before...

But I LOVE Peeps.

I am even a member of the Peeps fan club.  Mmmmm...

Marshmallow-y, sugary goodness.

I like to bite the heads off the bunnies (well, ears first, then heads), and the tails off the chicks.

I love them in yellow most of all.

According to the website, they now have sugar-free Peeps.  And I have to say - what is the point of that??

Yeah, because I had to, just HAD to know...
