City Life
Category: animals

I really hate birds! Esp. City Pigeons. Why can't they be terrified of humans in the same likeness that I am terrified of them?
It's so pretty & sunny out that I am wearing my shades without any optical aid-thus making the bird sightings in advanced quite difficult.
Freak Birds...
Nothing like hearing the sound of crunching leaves approaching you from behind, only to turn around and its a freakin' pigeon!
Next they'll be toting guns and brandishing machetes in demand of your lunch. Freak Birds...

That is really funny. Especially since most people from France to Korea live in cultures that eat horse.

Guess you need Pigeon Pie to accompany your main Meat & Taters Dinner of - :::link:::

There was a piece on NPR about how the midwest solved its passenger pigeon problem.

It involved a recipe for passenger pigeon pot pie.

seriously!

Good Karma

I lost one of my earrings the other night @ the Little Richard Concert. I was saddened by this but eventually let it go. Besides, this one had no value in comparison 2 the diamond encrusted one that I lost a few months back. Anyway, this morning in the Cafe, there was a women berrating the cashier 4 making her wait so long 2 check out...It was ridiculous her nasty attitude. Who looks forward 2 mondays let alone crazed gov workers? So earlier I greeted the cashier w/a smile & good morning. I only had $2.40 in tow & was short by $0.12 for my Rockstar! She said don't worry about it. But I returned mins l8 w/$.012, another smile&a big thank u! I left thinking about how awful the lady was 2 the cashier : (
w/her threats & all... I just hoped I was able 2 brighten her day a little.
Moments later, I found my lost earring down the hall on top of a recycling bin!!! Yay : )
(p.s.-Our halls are super freakin' long&maze like) This was a good sign 4 a start 2 a Happy Monday & a Happy week!!!

Fall Excitement
Category: fall

I am excited about Fall 2007! Perhaps in the same regard that most people feel about summer. I love so much about it - it's like, where do you begin?

Apple Cider
Beautiful Leaves
Pumpkin anything!
Cool, Crisp Breezes
Fall Wardrobe
Fall Shoes (separate category)
Sweeps (j/k)
Birthdays
Holidays
Baking!

It was really nice of one of my co-workers to bring in Pumpkin Bagels & Honey Pumpkin Whipped Cream Cheese on Thursday!

I felt inspired to start making things in the oven once again. Behold! Happy Pumpkins in the Oven:

Don't they look super happy in the oven?
