226 - Guess what the weather's like....

Yep. It rained this morning, but by 5pm, the sun was out. It'll be clear skies till tomorrow, when we get back to rain again, at least through next Thursday. I was supposed to go to a cruise night tomorrow with some friends, but it looks like that'll be canceled as well as our club's cruise night on Saturday night.

How about the deaths this week. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. All three, amazing.

The odd thing is, on Twitter I follow a guy who's a psychic from the TV show Paranormal State, and he tweeted early this afternoon "Wow, first Ed then Farrah, these things run in 3's, I wonder who's next".

Speaking of Twitter, I got in on a small contest by one of the Dell guys on Twitter, and won. I won the most gorgeous picnic basket. Here's a picture of it.
Here's some detailed information on what's inside. Secretly I've always wanted a nice picnic basket... and now I have one! We're going on a picnic in a few weeks so we'll use it then.

Other than that, my fish is doing well. I did however, change his name. Seeing as my daughter named hers after a character in one of her favorite movies, I've done the same. I've named him "Inigo" after Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride (Inigo being so close to Indigo) Here's a picture of Mandy Patinkin as Inigo.

Well, that's it for today... here's something funny for you:

Coffee Addiction (this one's  for you Mark!)

You know you are addicted to coffee if
-You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
-You sleep with your eyes open.
-You have to watch videos in fast-forward.
-The only time you're standing still is during an earthquake.
-You can take a picture of yourself from ten feet away without using the timer.
-You've worn out your third pair of tennis shoes this week.
-Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.
-You chew on other people's fingernails.
-The nurse needs a scientific calculator to take your pulse.
-You're so jittery that people use your hands to blend their margaritas.
-You can type sixty words per minute with your feet.
-You can jump-start your car without cables.
-You don't sweat, you percolate.
-You walk twenty miles on your treadmill before you realize it's not plugged in.
-You forget to unwrap candy bars before eating them.
-You've built a miniature city out of little plastic stirrers.
-People get dizzy just watching you.
-Instant coffee takes too long.
-You channel surf faster without a remote.
-You have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug.
-You can outlast the Energizer bunny.
-You short out motion detectors.
-You don't even wait for the water to boil anymore.
-Your nervous twitch registers on the Richter scale.
-You help your dog chase its tail.
-You soak your dentures in coffee overnight.
-Your first-aid kit contains two pints of coffee with an I.V. hookup.
-You ski uphill.
-You get a speeding ticket even when you're parked.
-You answer the door before people knock.
-You haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse.

Have a wonderful weekend all!

I guess enough people complained that our work filter was adjusted to allow blogspot.com domains again. Weird.

I wish we could have some of your rain. We should invent a cheap way to transport rainwater to areas that need it.

Some of those coffee funnies were pretty good. I guess one cup a day is an addiction, but even when I was off coffee completely I bounced off the walls compared to most people. I'm hyper regardless. You should have seen me go when a former co-worker made us Cuban coffee in the afternoon. I was like Beavis on sugar and caffeine rush.

I felt surely your Dell gift would be something electronic, but what a cool basket.

Well Mark, the stuff that was offered I already had. When he offered a picnic basket, I said "why not". I'm SO glad I did!!!!

Hi Dave ~~ Congrats on the lovely
Picnic Basket, which I am sure you and your wife will make good use of.
It looks a really nice one.
The funny made me a bit dizzy - all
that speed and crazy ideas.
Take care my friend, No. my footy team didn't win. Maybe next week.
Cheers, Merle.
